4.3 Finlay Beverages<br />
48<br />
Finlay Beverages is a beverage packing business located on a state of<br />
the art, purpose built site in Yorkshire, supplying major UK retailers<br />
and national foodservice operators with tea and roast & ground coffee.<br />
Achievements of note have been the reduction in Scope 3 carbon emissions due to the increase in<br />
raw materials transported to South Elmsall by rail and a reduction in the volume transported by<br />
road. Since the amount of carbon emitted by road freight has been calculated at thirteen times<br />
that of rail freight, the management of this process has become a key area of attention. Transport<br />
of raw tea to South Elmsall via rail commenced in 2006; in 2007 approximately 50% of our tea was<br />
transported by rail. By <strong>2010</strong> the figure had risen to approximately 75%.<br />
