According to the Science Based Targets initiative, we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in Scopes 1 and 2 by 90 percent and our FLAG( Forest, Land and Agriculture) emissions by 70 percent before 2050.

Additionally, we invested £ 44,000 in an energy management system to monitor and optimize energy and the utility usage across our plants. Lastly,” Debbie concludes,“ we launched a new electric car scheme, which offers affordable options for employees who want to transition away from fossil fuels and reduce their commuting costs”. ■
