As part of our ongoing SMET environmental improvement efforts, weโre developing areas in our Newry site to provide habitat for local wildlife, including a new dedicated bee and butterfly sanctuary garden on a gravelly strip of unused perimeter land.

This project reflects our commitment to considering biodiversity within our site environment and supports our wider approach to environmental management under our management systems, ISO 14001 and responsible sourcing under BES 6001.
