Sustainability at Diamond Controls

Understanding and reducing our carbon emissions is a fundamental part of our business strategy and sustainability is at the heart of how we operate and make decisions.

Guided by the urgency of climate science, we are committed to rapidly reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to halve them by 2030 and reach carbon neutral no later than 2035.

Through practical action, innovation, and accountability, we are working to minimise our environmental impact while supporting a more resilient and sustainable future by pursuing net zero.

Supporting our client’s net zero ambitions

Diamond Controls is also committed to supporting our clients in achieving and maintaining their own environmental objectives by supplying products that actively reduce wastage, emissions and are energy efficient. 

Our clients are able to operate more sustainably through innovative and automated control solutions as part of our services across water, gas and fuel Leak Detection Systems and Trace Heating applications such as hot water, temperature maintenance and frost protection.

On our path to net zero we aim to continuously:
