Supercharging our sustainability
We’ve joined forces with our customers and suppliers as part of our mission to achieve a net-zero supply chain by 2050. One visible change is the reengineering of our facilities and supply network to reduce our carbon footprint as well as improving our regional approach through the greater use of local inventory, reducing our freight miles.
Making culture our greatest differentiator
Our vibrant and purpose-driven culture is the heartbeat of our organisation. We champion authenticity to drive high performance. Our culture is a springboard that fuels excitement and energy within our team, empowering them to be their best selves every day. We nurture an environment where innovation, collaboration, and personal growth flourish – and shared purpose lights the way.
From humble beginnings
to now
We’ve come a long way since JH Waring and PM Sebestyen kickstarted our journey in a London garage in 1937. Since then, we’ve experienced continual expansion that’s taken RS Group to establishing local operations in 31 countries, soaring past £1 billion in online revenue in 2017.
