What sustainability information does Marshalls publish?
Updated
Marshalls publishes its sustainability information through a dedicated Sustainability section on marshalls.co.uk. The section covers its net zero roadmap, science-based targets, product sustainability, Made in Britain sourcing, skills and community work, trust and transparency, UNGC principles and sustainable development goals, plus policies, reports and downloads, and an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) library. This is corporate-level disclosure aimed at specifiers, trade buyers, investors and researchers rather than a consumer-facing green claims page.
What the Sustainability section covers
The site groups its sustainability content under these headings:
- Sustainability and Marshalls — an overview page framing the company's approach.
- Road to net zero — the decarbonisation pathway.
- Product sustainability — sustainability characteristics of the product range.
- Science-based targets — emissions reduction targets aligned to a recognised methodology.
- Made in Britain — UK manufacturing as part of the sustainability story.
- Skills and community — social sustainability work.
- Trust and transparency — governance and disclosure commitments.
- UNGC principles & sustainable development goals — alignment with the UN Global Compact and the SDGs.
- Policies — corporate policy documents.
- Reports and downloads — published reports available to download.
- EPD library — environmental product declarations for products.
The page evidence confirms these headings exist in the site navigation; it does not include the contents of the individual pages, so treat the descriptions above as signposts rather than summaries of what each document says.
How to use it for a real decision
If you are specifying hard landscaping, roofing or building products and need environmental documentation, the most directly useful items are the EPD library and Reports and downloads. EPDs are the standard document for comparing embodied environmental impacts between products, so start there for product-level data. Use Road to net zero and Science-based targets when you need to understand the company-level commitments behind those product figures.
For example, a specifier assembling a sustainability case for a project would typically pull the relevant EPDs for the products specified, then reference the company's science-based targets and net zero roadmap as context. The Policies and Trust and transparency pages are the place to check governance statements if your procurement process requires them.
What to check before relying on it
- Scope: the site describes Marshalls as a supplier of hard landscaping, building and roofing products operating since the 1890s. Its sustainability disclosures relate to that business; confirm they cover the specific product line you are buying.
- Currency: the page evidence does not give publication dates for the reports or EPDs. Check the date on each document you download, since targets and declarations are periodically revised.
- Consumer vs. trade: the site separates consumer products (gardens and driveways) from its business sections. If you are a homeowner, the consumer area is the more relevant entry point; the sustainability section is written at corporate level.
The sustainability section is reachable from the main navigation on marshalls.co.uk, alongside About us, Markets, Governance, Investor Relations, News and Careers.
