We will deliver our net zero roadmap while working to reduce the broader environmental impacts of the business wherever possible.
We have measured our annual greenhouse gas emissions, or carbon footprint, since 2019. We conducted our first ever complete assessment in 2023, where we measured the emissions related to all Scope 3 categories relevant to our business and are now in the process of setting a net zero target with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) aligned to the Buildings Criteria.
Our approach to reducing our emissions will include the greenhouse gasses upstream in our supply chain, in our own operations and the greenhouse gasses associated with our sales and hire buildings.
Our emissions reductions measures to date include sourcing all company-controlled electricity from 100% renewable sources, replacing factory and office lighting with energy-efficient LEDs and implementing an electric-first vehicle policy. Our Carbon reduction plan document which aligns with PPN 0621 can be found here.
In addition to improving energy use and sourcing, we will also continue to measure and improve resource use and waste production as a whole. Our main manufacturing site at York has been zero waste to landfill since 2013.
