Our Journey Towards Net Zero

Reducing our Direct and Indirect Emissions

As one of the leading mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation (MEICA) providers in the UK water industry, we play a significant role in the water treatment sector’s transition to net zero.

We have committed to achievingĀ operational net zero by 2030Ā andĀ net zero by 2035.

Goal 1:

Operational Net Zero by 2030

This includes all direct emissions from our operations. Scope 1 and Scope 2 are included in this target, as are some additional areas from Scope 3, such as business travel. We’ve already made significant progress in minimising our operational emissions:

  • Transitioning to Low Emission Vehicles (LEVs)
  • Purchasing 100% renewable electricity tariffs backed by REGO certificates
  • Switching to renewable heat alternatives
  • Investing in 360 kW of solar panels across 9 locations
  • Using hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO) across sites and fleet vehicles

Goal 2:

Net Zero by 2035

This goal includes direct and indirect emissions. Scopes 1, 2 and 3 will be included, as wellas embodied carbon in our supply chain. Scope 3 emissions account for all upstream and downstream emissions across our value chain, including our purchased goods and services, business travel and waste generated by operations.

To minimise our Scope 3 emissions, we must reduce product and project lifecycle emissions from cradle to grave. This requires engagement with our supply chain to identify innovative, low-carbon materials. We must also design in line with PAS2080 principles, applying the ā€˜Avoid, Switch, Improve’ approach
