Sustainable Innovation and Development

Our dedication to sustainability and innovation ensures that we continually evolve to meet the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

Our innovative approach includes the development of advanced temporary traffic, security and communication systems that not only meet but exceed environmental standards. By integrating renewable energy into our product designs, we are leading the way in creating a more sustainable highways sector.

Embracing the Circular Economy

Our business model is deeply rooted in the principles of the circular economy. This involves minimising waste and avoiding design obsolescence through thoughtful product life-cycle management. We aim to reduce our environmental footprint by ensuring that our products are durable, repairable, and recyclable. This commitment to sustainability helps us to significantly cut down on waste and develop solutions that benefit both our customers and the planet.

At SRL, we are addressing these issues head-on with our development of sustainable products. Our complete portfolio is available with solar-hybrid functionality.

Our fleet also includes hybrid-electric vehicles, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and lowering our carbon footprint.
