Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress toward achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:
Q4 2024: Running our offices and production facility’s electricity from at least 80% self-generated solar energy. Solar panels, battery storage, inverters and management systems. Export any excess energy back to the grid to offset carbon emissions
2025-2028: Replace 3 gas boilers with air-source heat pumps
2025-2030: Electric and hybrid company vehicles
2025-2030: Install an electric vehicle charging port, powerable via our solar panels
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 51.4 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 8.9%.
