Committed to a Cleaner Future
Sustainability at the heart of Solarport's operations
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Solarport, sustainability is embedded in how we design, manufacture, and deliver our solar mounting solutions.
Guided by strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, we focus on sustainable engineering, responsible supply chains, and low-impact manufacturing, supporting the growth of renewable energy while reducing environmental impact and maximising long-term solar performance.
For Communities
- Volunteering: We support our employees in giving back to communities by offering paid Volunteer Time Off each year, enabling our team to contribute to causes that make a positive difference.
- Local Fundraising for RNLI: Each year, our team takes part in the RNLI Raft Race in Bridport to help raise funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
- Christmas Toy Appeal: Each Christmas, the team donate gifts for children and families in the local community as part of the Dorset Echo Christmas Toy Appeal.
- Donated Mounting Systems: Helping support renewable energy initiatives by donating Solarport mounting systems to Moulton College and Green Tadley Community Allotment.
Our People
Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and their commitment drives a strong, inclusive culture. To support this, we’ve established internal committees that bring colleagues together, encourage collaboration, and ensure every voice is heard.
- ESG Committee: Turning strategy into practical action, our ESG committee helps embed sustainability into everyday operations across the business.
- Charity Committee: Through our charity committee, we expand charitable initiatives and strengthen relationships within the communities we serve.
- DEI Committee: Work led by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee helps create a workplace where everyone can thrive by strengthening policies and removing barriers.
- Women’s Forum: Our dedicated Women’s Forum connects our female colleagues across the business through regular discussions, mentorship and peer support.
- Social Committee: The Solarport Social Committee supports a positive workplace culture by organising activities that bring colleagues together and strengthen team connection across the business.
Sustainable Buildings

- Waste Management: Enhanced waste management practices at our offices and factories help to reduce operational waste and environmental impact.

Supply Chain
At Solarport, responsible sourcing guides our operations. We ensure the materials, components, and services used in our solar mounting solutions respect people, protect the environment, and support ethical business practices.
Suppliers are expected to meet the same standards of integrity, transparency, and sustainability that guide our own operations. Through our procurement processes, we assess partners for alignment with these values and encourage continuous improvement across the supply chain.
We also use recognised sustainability assessment frameworks and industry standards to monitor supplier performance and support responsible manufacturing practices.
Governance
- Our Policies: Clear policies and processes are in place across our business to support transparency and compliance in all operations. These include Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy, Equal Opportunities Policy, Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption Policy, Sustainable Shipping Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, etc.
- ISO Accreditations: Operating under ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 accredited management systems, reinforcing our commitment to quality, environmental responsibility and workplace safety.
- BSI: Members of the British Standards Institution (BSI), supporting our commitment to recognised industry standards and best practice.
