Climate Promise

We want to play our part in ensuring we address climate risks and operate in the most efficient way, reducing carbon emissions within our operations where we can and working with our supply chain to drive and support continuous improvement as part of our climate promise.

We have set a target of 50% absolute reduction in our Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030 (against our 2022 baseline), focusing on opportunities in the below areas to achieve this:

1. Procurement of renewable energy
2. Implementation of alternative low emissions fuels for our HGV fleet
3. Implementation of alternative low/no emission fuels for our forklifts at Cannock

The UK waste industry is estimated to contribute around 5-6% of UK GHG emissions, having already reduced its emissions by around two thirds since 1990. However, we are in a unique position to directly support the decarbonisation of the whole value chain through:

1. Production of low carbon fuels for other sectors
2. Production of high quality replacement raw materials for manufacturing
3. Production of energy and heat for homes and businesses
4. Increasing options for reuse, repair, remanufacture
5. Collaborating on value chain prevention and reduction initiatives

We will continue to innovate and collaborate with our customers and supply chain to support the transition to a low carbon economy.
