    Our Carbon Reduction Plan

    We lead by example and practice what we preach.  Therefore, we publish our own corporate Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) on our website landing-page to demonstrate our commitment to achieving Net Zero for our business by 2030.  This is available for download as a PDF file.

    Please note that our CRP is currently being updated to include emissions data to the end of 2024.  Our Baseline Emissions year is 2022.  Our Scope 1 emissions for our baseline year were 2.644 tCO2e; Our Scope 2 emissions were 0.144 tCO2e; Our Scope 3 Emissions were 0.801 tCO2e; and, hence, our Total Emissions were 3.559 tCO2e.


    Should you desire further details concerning our CRP in advance of the updated report being published, including provision of a copy of our initial CRP report, then, please contact us via our 'Contact Us' page and we will be happy to provide you with a copy.

    Our Contribution to Social Value

    We support several initiatives in the community through both voluntary action and or financial contributions. For example, our staff participate in local community environmental groups activities, such as litter picking during and after local events ensuring the recyclables are separated from the residual waste. They also assist with awareness raising and knowledge transfer in the local community about tackling climate change via a circular approach to resource consumption so we can all contribute by all 'doing our bit' to help save the planet.  Our directors contribute a regular monthly contribution from their salaries to the WWF to help support biodiversity.  And, as we grow our company, we are committed to giving opportunities to people in our local community to work with us, especially those that have suffered long term unemployment through no fault of their own, to help them to realise their capability, potential and value to society.
