Business Carbon Assessment

The Business Carbon Footprint assessment measures all emissions generated by our direct business activities (Scope 1), those generated in the production of the electricity we consume (Scope 2) and those generated in our supply chain by the manufacture of the products we sell (Scope 3).

The Business Carbon Footprint metrics:

Scope 1

Energy & fuel consumption

Owned transport

Scope 2

Purchased electricity for own use

Scope 3

Running & maintenance of offices, warehouses, & production facilities

Waste processing

Employee travel & accommodation

Transportation & freight (includes sea freight)

The Business Carbon Footprint metrics do not represent a static value but a statement of our current performance to be challenged and reduced over time by our own efforts and with the support and cooperation of all stake holders in our supply chains.
