CARBON REDUCTION PROJECTS
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2019 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 500 tCO2e, a 5% reduction against the 2019 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract Refurbishment of headquarter offices including heat pumps, heat recovery ventilation, LED lighting and controls, improved insulation & removal of all gas fired boilers.
Improving the efficiency of datacentre CRAC units, chillers & UPS systems.
Installation of 730kW solar PV system serving a datacentre.
In the future we hope to implement further measures, such as:
Solar PV installations on owned and long leasehold buildings.
Replacing gas fired heating systems with heat pumps
Reduction of fleet emissions through roll out of full and hybrid electric vehicles.
Engagement with our value chain, especially logistics partners
Further energy efficiency projects
