Emissions reduction targets
The Mitigation Hierarchy emphasises reducing the company’s emissions as priority hence we focus our effort on internal strategies to minimize our carbon footprint and to achieving Net Zero.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 6.2 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 64%
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
Since the establishment of the 2022 baseline, we have successfully completed or implemented a series of environmental management initiatives and projects. These schemes have demonstrably reduced our carbon footprint (CO2e) by 2.9 tCO2e, representing a significant 16% decrease compared to the baseline year. It is important to note that these measures will remain in effect throughout the contract period.
A Case Study: Transition to Home Delivery
A key contributor to our carbon reduction achievements is the transition from a Stock On Site model to a Home Delivery model. This strategic shift has yielded demonstrably positive environmental benefits through the following mechanisms:
- Minimisation of on-site stock at clinics: This reduction in inventory minimises storage requirements and associated energy consumption at our clinic facilities.
- Substantial decrease in delivery journeys between the warehouse and clinics: This optimisation streamlines our logistics network, resulting in a significant reduction in transportation emissions.
- Lower overall import volume into the United Kingdom: By reducing the overall volume of imported goods, we have effectively minimised transportation distances, leading to a demonstrably lower CO2e footprint.
- Furthermore, the convenience of Home Delivery has demonstrably minimised unnecessary returns. This streamlining of processes further contributes to our overall reduction in environmental impact.
Looking Ahead: Continued Commitment to Sustainability
We remain steadfast in our commitment to enhancing our environmental sustainability. Looking towards the future, we plan to implement additional measures, such as initiatives focused on improving production efficiency.
