Energy and Carbon
Our pledge is to work towards achieving ISO 50001 Energy Management accreditation including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, using 100% renewable energy and increasing our electric vehicle fleet.
- All our cars and light commercial vehicles will meet VCA definition of Ultra Low Vehicle Emissions.
- Reduce the absolute scope 1 and scope 2 Greenhouse gas emissions (kgCO2e/tones of production) by 50% (using 2019 as a baseline).
- All sites to be operation in 100% renewable energy.
- 30% of site based mobile plant to be electric.
For our Energy and Carbon pledges as part of The Ward Way sustainability road map to 2030 we are focusing on several themes:
Energy Procurement and Rationalisation
We have appointed a dedicated member of staff to oversee energy procurement and management across the business to ensure that we are capturing all the relevant data and are making the most sustainable choices
Behaviour Change
We will train our employees so that they understand the changes we’re making as a company, why we’re making them and importantly how they can contribute to our Environmental Pledge
