When entering 2024, we knew we wanted to make some small changes to our operations that equated to big changes globally.
ProSolve HQ is now a carbon-neutral site…
Our head office located in Doncaster became a ‘Certified Carbon Neutral’ site in 2023. That year we offset 181.00 tonnes C0₂ of Emissions, and due to a heavy finance investment; more solar panels, new electric company cars, and new electric manual handling equipment etc, we will reduce this 181.00 tonnes C0₂ of Emissions by a third in 2024.
We have committed to further improving our ESG over the coming years.
How We Became A Carbon-Neutral Site
To improve you have to be aware, this is why here at ProSolve we continue to track our energy efficiencies and carbon footprint. Reducing carbon footprint is a key part of our Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) ambitions, and can be tracked over three types of emissions.
Scope 1- Emissions that come directly from sources controlled by the business e.g. company car fuel
Scope 2- Emissions arising from the company’s consumption of purchased energy for example gas and electricity
Scope 3- Emissions arising from sources connected to the business for example waste disposal
We only have one Planet Earth, and by committing to this way of thinking, it’s hoped that its form and beauty will be in a better state for many years to come.
Our Environmental Improvement Plan
• Turn off lights and equipment off when not needed.
• Do not leave taps running any longer than needed.
• Report any leaks.
• Optimise business mileage.
• Adjust the heating thermostat to the weather conditions.
• Reduction of packaging levels
• Increase use of our solar energy by targeting usage to the daytime period, charging MHE for example in the day where possible.
With the world facing an environmental challenge and the responsibility to look after our planet more important than ever, ProSolve remains committed to reviewing its operations and continually identifying areas where we can improve our ESG in line with our ISO14001 management system objectives.
PROSOLVE – ISO STANDARDS
As a responsible business which is continuously growing and expanding its operations to meet customer demand, ProSolve is committed to adhering to the internationally recognised standard of quality management, International standards organisation (ISO).
Why Do We Do This?
It’s simple… from an external stance, ISO certification provides our customers with assurance that they will receive consistent quality products, services and ultimate satisfaction. Internally, it provides us with the tools to grow our business, reduce costs and improve productivity, driving continuous improvement.
ISO 9001 quality management system belongs to a set of standards that helps organisations ensure they meet customer and other stakeholder needs within statutory and regulatory requirements related to a product or service.
ISO 14001 is related to environmental management that exists to help organisations minimise how their operations negatively affect the environment; comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other environmentally oriented requirements; and continually improve in the above.
ISO 45001 is an ISO standard for management systems of occupational health and safety, published in March 2018. The goal of ISO 45001 is the reduction of occupational injuries and diseases, including promoting and protecting physical and mental health.
