Sustainable Access Equipment for ESG-Conscious Teams

Supporting Compliance, Carbon Reduction, and Safer Working at Height

As sustainability becomes a core pillar of procurement and compliance strategy across UK workplaces, Health & Safety professionals are under increasing pressure to align their equipment choices with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) objectives.

From local authorities to industrial facilities and national contractors, ladder and steps selection is no longer just about function or price, it’s about demonstrating a measurable commitment to sustainability and safety.

Here’s how Lyte Ladders & Towers is helping teams meet their ESG targets without compromising on safety, stability, or standards:

Low-Carbon Aluminium as Standard

Every Lyte ladder is manufactured using Low Carbon Recycled Aluminium 4.0 for the rungs and treads, sourced in the UK with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. This not only reduces embedded emissions in your supply chain but also supports Scope 3 carbon reduction across your asset base:

✅ Up to 75% less embodied carbon
✅ Supports net zero plans and ISO 14001 accreditation

Made in the UK, Powered by Solar

Our Swansea-based manufacturing facility is powered by a 350kW solar installation, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and significantly lowering the environmental impact of each ladder we produce. UK-based production also cuts the emissions associated with overseas freight:

✅ Reduces transport-related emissions
✅ Strengthens UK-based supply chains and ethical labour practices

Repairable by Design, Not Disposable

Many Lyte products feature bolted, modular components that can be easily repaired or replaced. This allows companies to extend the lifecycle of their equipment and avoid unnecessary waste, which is a key consideration in circular procurement strategies.

✅ Supports sustainable maintenance practices
✅ Reduces waste-to-landfill and total cost of ownership

Fully Certified, Inspection-Ready Products

Lyte ladders and towers are backed by third-party certification, supported by downloadable inspection checklists and safety guidance to help you maintain compliance under WAHR.

✅ Easy to integrate into internal safety systems
✅ Enables stronger Governance reporting and due diligence trails
