Sustainability

At Greenfield Services, we believe protecting the planet for future generations is one of the most important responsibilities we have. Sustainability sits at the heart of our business, guiding the way we work, the products we offer, and the choices we make every day.

Our mission is simple: to achieve net-zero emissions while continuing to deliver the same trusted service and expertise our customers rely on. We know this is a journey, not a quick fix, and we are proud of the progress we’ve made so far.

🔆 Solar Power

In January 2025, after being awarded a Grant by Adur & Worthing Councils' Business Support Programme, we covered our showroom roof with solar panels to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy. This has proven to be incredibly beneficial to us as a business, allowing us to continue running a showroom full of fires without burdening the grid.

📃 Going Paperless

Reducing paper is one of the simplest and most effective ways to lower our impact. The majority of our gas service reminders are now sent via email or phone, instead of post. Job sheets will soon be digital, helping us cut waste and improve efficiency. Our payment system is moving to a paperless option, giving customers email or text receipts instead of printed ones. That said, we understand not everyone is online, so we’ll always keep a paper option available for those who need it.

🚚 Smarter Deliveries

We work with our suppliers to consolidate shipments and reduce delivery frequency, meaning fewer vehicles on the road, lower emissions, and less congestion in our community.

💡 Energy-Efficient Showroom

Our new showroom and stores are designed with energy-saving in mind:

• LED lighting throughout, using up to 90% less energy than halogen bulbs.
• A pellet stove heating system, fuelled by UK-sourced, Forest Standard accredited timber pellets. These pellets provide 4800 kWh per tonne and make use of logs that would otherwise go to waste.

♲ Sustainable Products

We carefully select products that are:

• High-efficiency – reducing both environmental impact and customer running costs.
• Durable – backed by strong manufacturer warranties to minimise waste.
• Repairable – with our in-house service team extending product lifespan wherever possible.

Many of our partner manufacturers also now ship without plastic packaging, further reducing unnecessary waste.

🌿 Greener Travel

We’ve introduced an electric pool car for local deliveries, site visits, and quick trips, cutting down emissions from our day-to-day operations.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but sustainability is a long-term journey. Over the next few years, we’re working towards these exciting initiatives:

🌧️ Rainwater Harvesting

Collecting and reusing rainwater for our on-site toilets, cutting down mains water use.

🚙 EV Work Fleet

Replacing our vans with electric alternatives as soon as suitable models are available.

⛽️ Smarter Scheduling

Planning jobs to reduce travel distances, fuel use, and road congestion.

We know there’s still work to be done, but every step brings us closer to our goal of net-zero. By choosing Greenfield Services, you’re supporting a company that takes its environmental responsibilities seriously – one that’s committed to innovation, efficiency, and care for the planet.
