Our ambitious ‘Net Zero by 2045’ plan covers all parts of our business and has been introduced in three phases:

Phase 1 - Transport
We currently operate Euro 6-compliant vehicles, which are routinely maintained to ensure they operate to maximum efficiency.

During Phase 1 of our Net Zero journey, we will:
• Measure and benchmark our logistical operations to ascertain our current performance
• Investigate and review Best Practice within the logistics industry
• Devise a plan to reduce emissions

This may include:
• Upgrading or changing vehicles to electric or hybrid
• Using couriers with a low carbon footprint
• Optimum loading and routing of vehicles
• Negotiating with customers to arrange deliveries when the optimum carbon saving can be realised

To monitor success, we will:
• Define Key Performance Indicators to measure the reduction of emissions

Phase 2 – Monitoring and ongoing implementation
As we progress towards Net Zero, we will:

• Implement the plan to reduce emissions and review it regularly using PDCA (plan–do–check–act or plan–do–check–adjust)
• Obtain expert advice where KPIs are not reducing as expected

Phase 3 - Logistics
During Phase 3, we will investigate and implement other decarbonisation activities. These actions may include:
• Using solar power where possible
• Providing resources or funding to local communities to introduce carbon sinks
• Incentivising employees to car share or use alternative methods of low emission transport
• Provide charging points at the factory for electric vehicles
