As an organisation that has sustainability at its heart, Rada Controls is committed to promoting a circular economy by prioritising the use of recyclable and reusable materials our product portfolio – as illustrated in its recently released Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report.

Believing in full transparency when it comes to its progress in addressing environmental and social challenges, Rada Controls releases its ESG report every year to showcase its progress against its significant ESG commitments.

Highlighting its commitment to delivering an elevated showering experience while significantly reducing carbon emissions, Rada Controls’ report covered the 12-month period between January 2024 and December 2024 and outlined it – and parent company Kohler Mira’s – ESG strategy and commitments.

At the core of the ESG report was the company’s four main pillars; Better Lives, Better Workplace, Better Planet, and Better Communities. While Rada Controls is driven to continually improve the showering experience for users, it also focuses heavily on minimising the negative impact on people and the planet.

In fact, the company continually invests in how it designs, manufactures, and supplies its products, with the 2023 acquisition of Recoup Energy Solutions a shining example of its focus on innovation and how technology can be utilised to provide building owners and occupants with superb showering experiences while minimising energy consumption.

Furthermore, Rada Controls has worked hard to incorporate sustainability throughout its manufacturing process to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimise waste through innovative packaging.

With the provision of a workplace where people feel inspired, valued, and respected absolutely imperative, Rada Controls, and the Kohler Mira group, nurtures and promotes a truly inclusive and diverse culture through clear communication and engagement, robust learning and development programmes, and diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Emma Foster, Managing Director at Kohler Mira, underlined the crucial role Rada Controls was playing in reducing carbon emissions. She said: “Our ESG commitments have never been more critical with 2024 being the first year to breach the 1.5°C warming target set in the Paris Agreement and a record year for global sea temperatures.

“With innovation at the core of what we do, we are continuously looking for ways to offer our customers the very best showering experience without using any more water or energy. This year has been another significant year for Rada Controls and its focus on innovation and driving the water control industry forward.

“In fact, sustainability and energy efficiency has been at the heart of everything the company has done this year – with Rada Controls’ products leveraged by Midland Metropolitan University Hospital to streamline water compliance management. Consequently, the hospital has been able to achieve substantial water savings, while also ensuring a safer, more hygienic environment for patients and staff.

“I continue to be proud of the progress the business is making and the passion of our associates to deliver against our targets. But the most important part of the report isn’t our achievements last year, it’s where we set out our sustainability strategy. We know there is still a lot to do.”
