Sustainability and the Environment
Sustainability and the Environment
Providing sustainable solutions to an increasingly environmentally conscious market
Environmental Management System
In order to meet CPV’s goal of manufacturing in a sustainable manner whilst reducing the impact on the environment, we have established an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is certified to ISO 14001 standards.
The EMS allows us to continually review and improve our processes in order to prevent pollution and waste, reduce the amount of raw material and energy used, minimising our impact on the environment.
Solar PV Array
Our newly installed Solar PV panels on our factory roofs greatly reduce the amount of energy needed from the grid, meaning more product is produced with green energy than ever before.
Environmental Policy
CPV Limited is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment, the prevention of pollution, fulfilling its compliance obligations, promoting more environmentally friendly products and continual improvement.
The key points of CPV’s strategy to achieve this are:
- Ensuring compliance with all relevant environmental legislation, regulations, legal, internal and external stakeholder requirements are understood and met.
- Implement measures to prevent pollution and reduce emissions, waste and other environmental impacts.
- Adopt best practices in waste management, including reduction, reuse, and recycling initiatives.
- Optimise the use of resources, including energy, water, and raw materials, to minimise environmental impact.
- Promote the use of more environmentally friendly and sustainable products for our customers to reduce the long-term impact to the environment.
- Set and review environmental objectives and targets regularly to drive continual improvement.
- Monitor, measure and report on environmental performance with the management team, setting out actions to improve performance where needed.
- Provide training and resources to employees to enhance their awareness and understanding of environmental issues and responsibilities.
- Communicate openly with stakeholders about CPV’s environmental performance and initiatives.
- Collaborate with customers, suppliers, and other partners to promote environmentally responsible practices throughout the supply chain.
- Implement and maintain an Environmental Management System (EMS) in accordance with ISO 14001 requirements.
Top management are committed to the progress towards these goals through teamwork and effective communication. Regular meetings will be held by top management to review the company’s environmental performance and put in action where necessary.
This policy is approved by the undersigned and supported by all levels of management within CPV.

UK Training Centre
Training installers, supervisors and maintenance operatives, our brand new, purpose-built training centre allows for not only the theory, but hands-on practical experience in the correct method for installing our pipe systems. In addition to this, we also offer training courses in the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of electronic surveillance systems – including the use of our own buried pipe network, on which we can simulate moisture faults as part of the practical training.
Heat Training Grant Support
We are really pleased to have been selected again as a training provider under the UK Government's Heat Training Grant support scheme for the 2025/26 financial year.
This support means we are able to offer our standard training courses, free of charge (*).
(*) These supported training courses are all subject to the availability of our allocation of places in the current round of funding for the Heat Training Grant. Applicants need to be based in England to be eligible for support by the Heat Training Grant. See their website for further criteria.
Course List
We offer a selection of defined training courses (detailed below) that meet the typical needs of on-site installers and supervisers. Where indicated, some of our courses also are CPD Certified by the CPD Certification Service.
