1

Responsible design, calibration, and sustainable operations

As a responsible manufacturer in defence system design and a calibration partner, we consider the entire product and service lifecycle – from end to end. Our focus on reducing and managing risk involves close collaboration across procurement, compliance, and risk teams, ensuring an efficient and effective approach to due diligence and third-party risk management.

2

Sustainability and ESG

Understanding the importance of ESG and sustainability to our stakeholders, employees, and the defence and calibration industries as a whole, we are dedicated to creating sustainable value and contributing to the future of both sectors. We recognise our responsibility to provide a best-in-class service and product quality, keeping equipment in service for longer and maintaining a cutting-edge workforce.
