Darwen Terracotta is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Environmental & Social Value (ESV) Certification, a new standard developed by Made in Britain in collaboration with MAP UK & International. The Certification recognises Darwen Terracotta’s current contributions and commitment across people, planet and place — including employing and training people in the UK, supporting local communities, and operating in line with UK legislation and regulations on ethics and environmental sustainability.
The ESV Certification is part of a purpose-built programme designed to inform, engage and empower UK companies — particularly SMEs — to draw out and promote what they already do and communicate that clearly to customers and stakeholders. It reflects the increasing importance of Environmental & Social Value in both consumer and public sector decision- making, especially under the Procurement Act 2023 and the UK Government’s Social Value Model (PPN 002).
As a Made in Britain company, Darwen Terracotta is already contributing to the UK’s wider industrial, Environmental & Social goals through its everyday operations. The Certification simply helps make that visible — strengthening how the company communicates its value and helping it gain a commercial edge in a highly competitive UK market.
“We’re proud to have been awarded the ESV Certification, which highlights the positive contributions we already make to the UK economy, society and environment. It provides us with a stronger platform to demonstrate our value to everyone we engage with — from customers and stakeholders to our local community.” Jon Wilson, co-founder Darwen Terracotta.
