Sustainability
By creating materials designed to last, we support longer product life and a more responsible approach to resource use.
Longevity as Sustainability
Sustainability efforts
At Ambla, our sustainability efforts focus on practical improvements across materials, manufacturing and operations. That includes designing for durability, supporting longer product life, and continuing to improve how our materials are developed, sourced and produced.
Within our wider manufacturing context, this also includes ongoing work around energy efficiency, waste reduction and responsible material development. For us, sustainability is not a headline claim, but a long-term commitment to making better decisions over time.

A message from our director
“Responsibility isn’t a separate initiative at Ambla, it shapes how we make decisions, how we manufacture, and how we support our customers every single day.”
A broader commitment to ESG
For Ambla, ESG goes beyond materials and manufacturing. It’s about how we operate as a business — ethically, transparently and with long-term responsibility in mind.
We invest in our people, uphold strong governance standards and build trusted relationships across our supply chain. By continuously improving environmental performance, investing in our people and maintaining trusted relationships across the supply chain, we aim to build long-term value that extends beyond the product itself.
Measured progress, not claims
Our approach to ESG is grounded in continuous improvement rather than broad statements. We focus on changes within our operations – from process efficiency to responsible sourcing – while maintaining the performance and reliability our materials are known for. Progress is assessed over time, with decisions made carefully and transparently, ensuring that responsibility supports the product rather than competing with it.
Delivering coated fabrics for decades
For decades, coated fabrics have been produced on our Lancashire site by teams who have dedicated their careers to mastering the craft. From our roots as Wardle Storeys to Ambla today, we have grown through innovation, resilience and close customer relationships.
Our longevity is not simply a measure of time — it reflects consistency, expertise and pride in British manufacturing.
