BOAL Extrusion awarded ESV Certification

A recognition of impact, commitment and British manufacturing excellence

We’re proud to share that BOAL UK Ltd has officially been awarded the Environmental & Social Value (ESV) Certification - a new standard that highlights what we’ve been doing for years: contributing to a more sustainable, responsible and resilient UK-manufacturing sector.

Developed by Made in Britain in collaboration with MAP UK & International, the certification recognises our efforts across people, planet and place. From 100% local employment to working with recycled content aluminium and supporting local communities - we’re building value that goes beyond the product.

Why this certification matters

In a market where sustainability and social impact are increasingly central - especially in public procurement - the ESV Certification helps us communicate our contribution with clarity. Not as a promise for tomorrow, but as proof of what we’re already doing today.

What we’re contributing

Ever since we proudly began extruding on British soil, we’ve kept our focus sharp: on the environment, our social responsibilities, and strong governance. Today, those principles are still embedded in every decision we make.

Carbon reduction 

We select high-quality billets and optimise our extrusion process using:

• 100% renewable electricity

• plant-based cutting fluid

• smart energy management across our operations

Waste diversion 

We’ve reduced non-aluminium landfill waste to under 1% and we’re committed to closed-loop recycling within the UK supply chain. Every scrap counts.

UK sourcing 

We source and produce locally, ensuring short lead times, close collaboration, and a lower environmental footprint. Better for our customers, and better for the planet.

Building value together

As a Made in Britain member, we’re part of a growing movement of manufacturers who operate with pride, responsibility and purpose. The ESV Certification strengthens our position and helps us make our value more visible to customers, partners and stakeholders.
