We place great importance not just on what we do, but how we do it.
At Precision Micro, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional etched products while upholding our commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. We understand that responsible business practices are essential for sustainable growth and the wellbeing of our stakeholders.
Our commitment to ‘fair play’
Environmental stewardship
We prioritise environmental stewardship by implementing measures to minimise our ecological footprint. We strive to reduce energy consumption, optimise resource efficiency and minimise waste generation throughout our operations. By adopting environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and investing in advanced technologies, we aim to mitigate the impact on the environment and contribute to a greener future.

- Sourced 100% of electricity usage from renewables
- Achieved a decrease of 62 tonnes in total waste
- Increased our waste recycling rate to 98%, up from 68% in 2016
Social responsibility
Our commitment to social responsibility extends beyond our organisation. We value and respect our employees, fostering a safe and inclusive work environment that promotes diversity, equal opportunities, and employee wellbeing. We invest in our workforce by providing training and development opportunities, encouraging professional growth and job satisfaction. Additionally, we actively engage with our local communities, supporting initiatives that enhance education, healthcare and social welfare.
