Our planet and societies are currently facing enormous challenges. It is the responsibility of us all to collaborate and work towards overcoming these and leaving a lasting positive legacy for future generations. To do this, all our actions should ensure we are protecting the planet, supporting our communities and delivering long-term value for all our stakeholders. These are the pillars that drive our sustainability vision.
To think exceptional is not an aspiration at WJ, it is a standard that we encourage all of our team to achieve. This has led to us establishing an award winning safety and workforce engagement culture. Yet, as an industry leader we aim to move beyond this and continue to be a beacon of how business must operate to help realise a sustainable future for all.
This involves; Supporting Our Communities, whether they are local communities we are working in, our global community or even our own employees through training and new opportunities; Protecting The Planet through carbon reduction and prevention initiatives, or creating beautiful spaces for our everyday lives; and Delivering Long-Term Value, both economic and social through our business activities and throughout our entire supply chain.
Our WJ Thinking Community initiative is an employee and community led initiative that enables our stakeholders to utilise WJ’s unique resources to support causes and projects that are meaningful to them. It supports them in delivering real social value and inspiring as many lives as possible within the communities in which they live and work.
Through the initiative we have collaborated with our partners throughout the supply chain, which has enabled us to draw on even more resources then normally possible. By doing this we have been able to deliver an even greater level of value to our communities. To see the type of projects we have been involved,
The SDG’s are the UN’s goals that will help to create a better future for billions all around the planet. Signed up to by governments and businesses globally they represent a true global community.
WJ is committed to contributing to the SDGs through its products and solutions, its responsible business practices in and through strategic partnerships and targeted community activities.

As a WJ core value, Community is immensely important to us and collaboration is a fundamental part of supporting our communities. We believe that real sustainability requires us to work together with our partners throughout the industry, NGOs, charities, wider society and any other stakeholders. Our approach brings in different UN Sustainably Development Goals (SDGs) so we can contribute our part to these global community goals.
We recognise that community is valued by many other parties and we have developed partnerships with all the organisations below and more to help create a better future together. WJ, hold accreditations from many, such as ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 44001 with NQA and BSI, but our commitment goes well beyond compliance.
