Supporting Charities

We encourage our employees to contribute to both their local community and charitable donations through accepting charity organisation nominations, as well as access to company resources to assist where possible.

Every year Salamander Pumps team donate food and toiletries to The Sunderland Trussell Trust and take part in Macmillan Coffee Mornings to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

In 2022 the business supported the British Heart Foundation, raising donations through completing charity challenges.

Noise Pollution

Particularly in commercial installations, noise pollution can be a disturbing factor for the local environment. We consider ourselves to be industry pioneers in providing innovative solutions to this issue. Our pumps have been independently tested against our competitors and have shown to be some of the quietest in the UK, with many of our ranges being awarded the Quiet Mark.

Recycling

Most of the Salamander Pumps product range involves electrical components, all of which are compliant with the WEEE directive.

Salamander Pumps operates a WEEE disposal policy (ID number WEE/MM5397AA) that ensures no landfill or 3rd World disposal, whilst maximising environmental sustainability.

As part of our Environmental policy, we also set measurable environment improvement objectives, including recycling of factory waste and the use of recyclable materials wherever possible. Improving the design of all future pumps is another key emphasis for us and through our innovation we actively seek to reduce product waste.
