At Sentry Doors, responsibility has always been at the heart of our business. As the UK’s leading manufacturer of certified timber fire and security doorsets, our mission is to protect people and places, and we recognise that our responsibility goes far beyond compliance and performance.
Our first ESG Impact Report marks an important milestone in our journey. It reflects the steps we’ve already taken and sets out our vision for a safer, greener, and fairer future.
Whilst we know there’s still a long way to go, we’ve already made some incredible progress that we’re excited to share with you.
Transitioned over 90% of our paints to water-based, reducing harmful chemical use.
Introduced energy monitoring systems, waste recycling, and sawdust reuse, cutting emissions and landfill impact.
Sourced timber responsibly with FSC® and PEFC™ certifications, ensuring sustainable forestry.
Reduced vehicle emissions through smarter logistics and delivery consolidation.
Grown our team from 28 to over 200 colleagues, investing in local talent and providing fair pay above the National Living Wage.
Introduced flexible working, healthcare benefits, and mental health support, with plans to certify mental health first aiders.

We know there’s more to do. That’s why we’ve set out a clear three-year ESG roadmap that sligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Within the next three years, we will:
Achieve ISO 14001, FSC®, and PEFC™ certifications across our group.
Set and deliver on Scope 1 & 2 carbon reduction targets, aiming for net zero before 2050.
Reduce waste streams by a further 10% and expand circular economy initiatives.

Expand community partnerships, including exploring new charity collaborations.
Continue to champion fire safety best practice through industry leadership and policy engagement.
Sustainability is not an add-on – it is embedded into everything we do. From reducing our environmental impact, to building a diverse and thriving workforce, to operating with integrity and transparency, our ESG journey reflects our promise to do the right thing for the long term.
We are proud of the progress we’ve made, but this is just the beginning. Together with our people, customers, and partners, we are committed to creating a safer, more sustainable future.
