Selwood Pump Company pledges to cut environmental impact

PUMP MANUFACTURER SELWOOD Pump Company has made the West Midlands Net Zero Pledge to cut its environmental impact and help clients reduce their carbon footprint.

Hall Green-based Selwood Pump Company Limited, which supplies a wide range of pumps for industry sectors, including oil processing and car manufacturing, has pledged to reduce not just its own energy  consumption but also the amount needed by clients who use its equipment.

Administered by Sustainability West Midlands on behalf of the West Midlands Combined Authority, the West Midlands Net Zero Business Pledge is undertaken by businesses wanting to be part of the region’s drive to become a net zero carbon economy by 2041.

Managing Director Graham Gallen, who has worked for the company for nearly 40 years, said Selwood as pleased to sign up for the Pledge to shape a more environmentally-friendly future.

“We hope to reduce the carbon footprint and energy usage of our operations and also to advocate the Net Zero Pledge standards among our client base,” explained Graham. “As a manufacturer of equipment for manufacturing and processing companies, we hope to assist customers in reducing their energy usage
by supplying energy-efficient options for our equipment. 

“While Selwood may not be a household name, our products are used by leading brands at power stations, car factories, oil processing facilities and across all sectors of manufacturing, so it is important that we play our part in reducing environmental impact.
