Net Zero Carbon & Climate Action Plan

Our Commitment

Binns Canada Ltd is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, in alignment with Canada’s national targets and the RAIC’s Climate Action Plan. As a company that supplies certified high-security fencing and gate systems for critical infrastructure, we recognize our responsibility to reduce environmental impact across our supply chain, operations, and future Canadian manufacturing.

Current Foundation

We benefit from our partnership with our primary manufacturer, which has an ambitious sustainability roadmap including:

• Net-zero carbon target by 2041.
• £250,000 investment in a 330 kW solar array, generating net-positive renewable energy.
• Fully electric company fleet and Euro 6 standard transport fleet.
• Energy efficiency upgrades (low-energy lighting, radiant heating, electric machinery).
• Reduced embodied carbon through UK-based in-house mesh manufacturing.
