Targets
1) For the emissions we control directly, we aim to reach net zero by 2040 with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2030. The main types of emissions we control directly are from:
a) Our diesel and petrol powered vehicles;
b) Our gas and electricity usage for heating and lighting.
2) For the emissions we can influence, we aim to reach net zero by 2045 with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2040. The main types of emissions we can influence are from:
a) The production of products that we sell;
b) The transport by others of products that we sell
Actions
We have committed to reducing emissions over the next year by:
- Evaluating energy saving from LEDs at one site and look to extend if successful
- Investigating automatic shutdown of computers
- Identifying suitable software for route planning
- Replacing company cars with EVs. Trialing salary sacrifice scheme.
- Pressing our manufacturers for low-carbon or recycled product options

Activities
We have switched our electricity supply to renewable.We have switched all electricity supplied to our showrooms to renewable. |
We are investigating how we can create a zero emissions transport fleetWe are looking at how we can transition our van deliveries to electric, including both our own fleet and our use of couriers. Our HGV fleet will be more of a challenge but we continue to look for low emissions options, such as the use of biofuels. In the meantime we will aim to reduce our emissions through load consolidation and improved journey planning. |
