From the beginning, H+H UK has vigorously pursued and maintained the highest environmental standards. That commitment led to us being the first manufacturer of pre-cast building products to be officially certified with the Carbon Trust Standard, after taking action on climate change to reduce our carbon footprint.
From creation to construction, every environmental aspect of our manufacturing and delivery processes has been enhanced. Our integrated management systems conform to the highest international standards, while our packaging and transportation achieves maximum levels of energy efficiency, conservation and environmental performance.
By providing outstanding thermal insulation, Aircrete products add sustainable credentials to any project. In fact, Aircrete constructions can achieve the highest rating in the Green Guide to Housing.
Aircrete’s environmental credentials extend to its eventual recycling at the end of a building’s life. As well as being an inert material that will far outlast the usual 60 year design life expectancy of a building, Aircrete is easily recyclable, and can be crushed down with other masonry materials and used in future applications.
H+H UK was awarded 29th place in The Sunday Times Best Green Companies Awards 2009. Thjs is the second year running that H+H UK have been awarded under The Sunday Times Best Green Companies Awards; last year coming in a strong 32nd. H+H was one of the first manufacturers in the construction industry to achieve BSI accreditation for its Integrated Management System, which pulls together three individual management systems for environment (ISO 14001), quality (ISO 9001) and health and safety (OHSAS 18001).
In September 2009 H+H were also awarded VERY GOOD for all products under the BES6001:2008 Responsible Sourcing initiative from the BRE, being the first company to be awarded Very good on all sites and all products.

For all that we’ve achieved, we’re not content to rest on our laurels. Our commitment to the future means H+H UK leads the field in research and development of aircrete products.
