Dedicated to drive long-term, positive change through our implementation of sustainable ESG practices
At SHV Energy, we are all responsible for looking after each other. The social frame outlines our responsibility to take care of our employees, workers in the value chain, and the impact we have on communities we serve.
SHV Energy continues seeking ways to embrace the circular economy across key parts of our supply chain. At Calor Gas, our business in Great Britain, the saying ‘Everything old is new again’ reflects our approach to refurbishing LPG cylinders with sustainability in mind.

Since it was established in 1957, our cylinder refurbishment facility in Saxham, UK has focused on operational efficiency and reducing the company’s environmental impact. Instead of scrapping damaged cylinders, we recondition them. This allows the metal to be reused safely and effectively for years to come.
In 2025, we gave the facility itself a new lease of life by replacing inefficient machines with safer and more ergonomic systems. Our processes have also evolved. We now use water‑based paint, helping reduce environmental impact and support safer working conditions.
The facility currently refurbishes about 240,000 cylinders every year – making something old new again.
“We routinely scrutinise each step in our refurbishment process to ensure it is completed as sustainably and efficiently as possible.”
