MEASURING OUR CARBON
TO CUT IT
Neutral Carbon Zone certified, two years running
WHY WE MEASURE
You can’t reduce what you don’t measure.
Since 2023 we have had our full carbon footprint independently assessed by Neutral Carbon Zone every year. That covers everything we control, from our vans and machines to the electricity, gas, water and waste at the shop, plus the goods and services we buy and how our team gets to work.
Our footprint is calculated to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1, the internationally recognised methods for measuring business emissions.
2024-25 RESULTS
Growing busier, using less carbon per job.
145.75 t
Total footprint (tonnes CO₂e), down from 147.94 t the year before
−9%
Carbon per member of staff, year on year
−20%
Carbon for every £1m of work we do, year on year

WHERE IT COMES FROM
Our footprint, 2024-25.
Most of our carbon comes from fuel for the vans that collect and deliver for our customers. That tells us where to focus first.

WHAT COMES NEXT
Where we can make the biggest difference.
Our assessment points to the changes that would cut our footprint the most.
Cleaner vans
Hybrid and electric vans where practical, and fewer unnecessary miles on the road.
Renewable power
A 100% renewable electricity tariff, and using less energy at the shop.
Less to landfill
Less waste overall and more of it recycled, working towards zero waste to landfill.
Smarter buying
Understanding the carbon in the goods and services we buy, and choosing lower-impact options.
