Corporate social responsibility.
A better tomorrow.
Our commitments.
Pollution
We are working hard to reduce pollution within our operation. We are eager to achieve our goal of becoming carbon neutral.
Environment
We review all our processes constantly working to minimise waste product. We've introduced recycling initiatives and look to source sustainable materials only where possible, all working to reduce our environmental impact.
Community
We undertake annual charity fundraisers involving all our staff. Giving back to the community is at the heart of all charitable projects we undertake.
Our climate impact.
We are committed to improving the environment and minimising pollution from our activities. In 2021, we joined The Climate Pledge, an initiative by the world’s top companies to take action and reach net-zero carbon impact by 2040.
Our carbon footprint - tCO2e
Though we are a low carbon-intensity business, we measure our carbon footprint periodically using established protocols such as UK Government Environmental Reporting Guidance and annually issued UK Government Conversion Factors for greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting.
We publish results periodically as they become available, with the 2019-2021 period forming our baseline for the years up to 2040.
| Year | Scope 1 | Scope 2 | Scope 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 0 | 11 | 86 | 97 |
| 2020 | 0 | 10 | 38 | 48 |
| 2021 | 0 | 23 | 14 | 37 |
We neutralise our residual emissions with credible carbon offsets created within United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or otherwise available in public registries. For the decade to 2030, we have acquired an offset balance of 2056 tCO2e.
Our latest mission.
Caring for our community is at the heart of who we are and what we do. As a team we are determined to contribute in building happier and healthier communities.
