THE maker of Grenfell’s deadly cladding still claims it is an ethical business on its website.
US-owned Arconic also says it is committed to “responsible” work.

And a subsidiary, Kawneer, boasts it helps clients to construct “beautiful” buildings.
The company’s polyethene core cladding was found to be “by far the largest contributor” to the 2017 blaze that killed 72.
Arconic has two warehouses and a corporate office in Britain, employing 530 people.
Last week Sir Martin Moore-Bick’s Grenfell inquiry report found Arconic had “deliberately concealed from the market” the fire risks of using the product.
Sir Martin said the core of the panels acted as a fuel source as the blaze tore through the tower.
The inquiry heard Arconic still sold its more flammable products to the UK while they were restricted in other countries.
Arconic was approached for comment.
It said previously: “The fire was a terrible tragedy.”
Since the blaze, the company’s ex-boss Tim Myers has cashed in shares of £22.3million on top of £23.9million in pay.
Meanwhile, former Housing Secretary Michael Gove claims his battle against Grenfell companies was undermined by Treasury officials.
He said he ran into the “commercial purism of Treasury Mandarin Brain”.
