Our Approach
A more sustainable future.
We have set near-term (2034) carbon reduction targets via the globally recognised SBTi, without offsetting. We continue to make strong progress towards these targets, alongside the opening of our own onsite Solar PV array located adjacent to the Bridge of Weir site. This 4MWh array has sufficient capacity to meet our peak daytime demand whilst also offering export capability.
Some of our commitments and actions stemming from our 5-Year Plan are to increase our actions toward staff wellbeing, and roll out our supplier verification platform, along with several other initiatives from the ESG committee, which have cemented our confidence in the supply chain and our ability to reach long-term commitments.
During the year, we also revisited the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) dataset of our products and corporate footprint and will continue to review this going forward.
