OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

Working in partnership with Carbon Neutral Group we have set a tangible goal: to reduce our carbon emissions by 5% within the next financial year, to 2025. Already our 2022-23 emissions have been offset by a range of strategic initiatives, which we will continue to support.

How are we offsetting

How are we offsetting

We have carefully chosen projects to invest in that not only contribute to our Net Zero ambitions, but support developing countries’ economic and social evolution.

The chosen project was the RIMA Fuel Switch in Bocaiúva, Brazil – (Accredited by the United Nations). We have invested in a factory in the Bocaiúva region, an area dedicated to metallurgy, mining, agriculture and reforestation. Rather than using fossil fuels, the Rima industrial district’s factories use renewable biomass, which ultimately reduces the region’s reliance on fossil fuels and lowers the CO2 impact.

By investing in the project, we have offset our carbon emissions for 2022–23 (245 tonnes CO2e), which is the equivalent of 129 return flights from Manchester, UK to JFK, New York, USA.

Since the start of this project in 2024 we have planted 600 trees, equating to 1080kg of CO2e absorbed and 9,600 sq feet of land restored

Our ‘50p a tree’ forest is currently growing in and around Mount Elgon in Uganda. There are several projects that we are supporting there. The primary project is a coffee plantation and soil regeneration for the farmers in the area and improving their harvest variation.

Sustainable Development Goals and 50p a tree

As well as having carbon offsetting benefits, the 50p a tree scheme also covers 9 of the 17 UNs Sustainable Development Goals. This not only shows the positives of the scheme but enables you as a company to advertise you are working towards these goals:

Day-to-day we continue

to champion our carbon neutral quest by solar panel powered offices, a hybrid & electric fleet, digitisation, working with local partners where possible and empowering our staff to work from home and encouraging the use of public transport.

We want to be leaders within our industry in the journey to Net Zero. We understand that every single initiative, big or small, makes a difference. That we are in a position to influence the wider market with our green revolution.
