Manufacturing: Green from the ground up

When Specsavers’ glazing arm, International Glazing Services (IGS), started to outgrow its home it took the opportunity to design a new base for glazing from the ground up, literally.

IGS had been housed within the same unit as its sister company, Vision Labs, in Kidderminster but the rapid growth of the business and the requirements of modern manufacturing meant a new home was needed.

Specsavers is very up front about its green credentials with a statement of intent within its annual review. This talks abouts its commitment to: ‘taking responsibility for the impact our business has on the environment and have adopted a risk-based approach to understanding, minimising and mitigating this impact.
