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 is now a ‘Certified Carbon Neutral’ site for 2024 and last year we managed to Offset 181.00 Tones C0₂ of Emissions. During the final quarter of 2023, we successfully reduced our carbon footprint from 26.17 down to 15.07 which fell under our target of 19. We successfully managed to offset 181.00 tonnes of C0₂e of emissions. From our electric company cars to our electric forklift trucks, we have committed to improving our ESG. However, in January 2024 we reached our target of becoming a ‘Certified Carbon Neutral Site’ which is a fantastic achievement and is a huge testament to the hard work every employee has put in to get us to this milestone.
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.
