ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT<br />

Corporate environmental impact covering waste,<br />

emissions and water.<br />

Since 2018, we have reduced our overall carbon emissions by<br />

21%, a step towards the ambitious target of becoming carbon<br />

neutral by 2045. That’s the equivalent of 133 tonnes of C02,<br />

and largely driven by more energy efficient technology.<br />

For example, in 2021 we installed a grid of 330 solar panels<br />

which can produce 100kWh, resulting in a 50% reduction in<br />

electricity consumption at this site. Surplus electricity is fed<br />

back into the National Grid.<br />

In the same year, and after moving to a zero-carbon energy<br />

provider, for the first time all electricity came from zero carbon<br />

hydro, wind and solar sources.<br />

In 2020, we installed LED lighting, replaced a heating,<br />

ventilation and air conditioning system, and upgraded building<br />

insulation.
