Sustainability at FLI Water

Leading the Way Towards a Greener, More Sustainable Future

Sustainability at the Core of FLI Water

At FLI Water, we are committed to sustainability in everything we do, striving to reduce our environmental impact and contribute positively to the communities we serve. While many of our sustainability initiatives are part of wider efforts across the FLI Group, the same dedication to environmental responsibility drives our water and wastewater operations. We contribute to a greener future through innovation, collaboration, and a long-term vision.

Solar Energy at FLI Precast Solutions

One of the standout sustainability initiatives within the FLI Group is our investment in solar energy at FLI Precast Solutions. In August 2023, we installed a 250kW solar array at our factory in Carlow, which has already generated over 153.55 MWh of clean energy—enough to power 38 homes for an entire year. This significant step forward in renewable energy reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and demonstrates our commitment to green energy solutions.

 

We’re exploring opportunities to expand our solar capacity while navigating site-specific challenges. In addition, we’ve trialled the electrification of our forklift fleet, another move towards reducing fossil fuel dependence.

FLI Honey Initiative

At FLI Precast Solutions, sustainability goes beyond energy. We are proud to have introduced AIM native honey bees through our FLI Honey initiative, boosting local biodiversity and supporting essential pollinators. Led by Group Sustainability Manager Daniel Blanchfield, this initiative has already established three hives, with plans for further expansion next year.

Here are some highlights of our project so far:

 

🏠 Three hives established and more to come next year!

🐝 AIM native honey bees introduced, supporting local species.

🌳 Planting fruit trees, flowers, and more to further promote biodiversity.

🍯 100 jars of honey produced this year – a sweet surprise!

🤝 Partnering with local experts from the Carlow Beekeepers Association to ensure best practices.

Our Core Values

We act with honesty and transparency, ensuring that our actions align with our words.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, driving innovative solutions and shared success.

We strive for the highest standards in everything we deliver, exceeding expectations at every step.

We treat everyone with dignity and fairness, fostering an environment of trust and inclusion.

Why These Initiatives Matter for FLI Water

Though these initiatives are currently focused on other parts of the FLI Group, they represent the values and goals we share at FLI Water. The lessons learned from these successful projects will help shape future sustainability efforts within our own operations, allowing us to contribute to reducing our carbon footprint, promoting renewable energy, and supporting biodiversity.


We believe that every action—whether investing in renewable energy or supporting local ecosystems—brings us closer to a greener future for all. At FLI Water, we are excited to build on these initiatives and integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our work.
