SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Addressing greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage

The World Resources Institute developed the Scope System through the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Scope 1, 2 and 3 are ways of categorising the different kinds of carbon emissions a company creates in its own operations, and the wider supply chain.

Our main sources of Scope 1 and 2 emissions are from direct operations like transport fuel and electricity. We are committed to mitigating our environmental impact by purchasing electricity from renewable energy sources, reducing our carbon footprint and fostering cleaner operations within our business. Indirect Scope 3 emissions account for 90% of our total output. Our solution involves a comprehensive assessment of indirect greenhouse gases emitted throughout our entire supply chain, covering raw material extraction, transportation, manufacturing, product use, and disposal.

We are committed to address all three scopes to minimise our environmental impact and positively contribute to the global climate agenda. Proactively managing these emissions, moves us towards a greener, more sustainable future
