TIGER ESG.
Environmental, Social, and Governance
Sustainability, a green factory, and efficient products. Proactively mindful of its operations’ impact on the environment, Tiger Trailers is proud to be part of the local and wider communities. It is the company’s aim to create opportunities to recruit and develop local people and to understand the local issues that are important to the community and how it can support them.
RECYCLABLE, LIGHTWEIGHT & VERSATILE PRODUCTS
Tiger Trailers manufactures sustainable products that simultaneously provide environmental benefits to end users and, ultimately, society as a whole, such as increased fuel efficiency and a reduction in CO2 emissions.
The innovative sidewall material used in the Double Deck Trailers Tiger builds for certain customers is recyclable and offers significant weight-saving properties alongside increased load capacity that is equivalent in some cases to two typical single-deck trailers.
A GREEN FACTORY. EFFICIENT, SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS.
CO2 Emissions
Tiger Trailers has set a target of reducing tonnes of CO2e per £m of costs of sales by 5% per annum (based on the figures reported in the year ended 31 December 2020 of 748 tonnes of CO2e per £m of cost of sales) over the 5 years ending 31 December 2025.
Building design & systems
The design of Tiger Trailers’ new building utilises energyefficient heat pump heating and cooling systems, with natural ventilation throughout supported by a super-efficient heat recovery ventilation system employed within the offices, while gas-fired radiant heating is used in the production area.
Lighting
Automated high-efficiency LED lighting installed in the offices and factory also contributes to the environmentally-friendly credentials of the manufacturer’s site which, combined with the efficient construction techniques used, leads to an overall building rating of ‘A’.
TREES FOR TRAILERS.
Committed to making our business environmentally friendly, we’ve partnered with More Trees by THG Eco’s CO2 sequestration and offsetting scheme since September 2022, and trees are planted for each customer order placed, with the focus now on UK forests and initiatives. We also plant a batch of trees once each year to match the number of our employee base, which is currently around 275 men and women. That equates to a lot of trees! 🌳🌳🌳🌳
SOLAR PANELS.
In 2023, Tiger Trailers invested a six-figure sum in solar panels installed on its factory roof, to power some of its manufacturing operations. During 2024, the array of solar panels on our roof in Winsford is set to double, as Tiger’s environmental emphasis continues strenghtening.
TIGER INTHECOMMUNITY
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environment, social and governance (ESG) are at Tiger Trailers’ heart. The Tiger Safety Team provides its ‘STOP, LOOK, BE SEEN’ road safety programme free to school children, and the company is involved in regular charity activities and in raising awareness over mental health, woman in transport and championing other equality.
AUTOMOTIVE, MOBILITY & ROAD SAFETY.
Car-sharing is encouraged and supported through Tiger Trailers’ HR department, and the firm’s facilities include charge points for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Road safety has an important place in the company’s ethos. The latest news, campaigns and innovative technology developments are considered in the Road Transport Hub on Tiger Trailers’ website, and the company works with schools and other organisations to promote road safety to children, cyclists and others as part of its CSR activities.
