ENGINEERING services provider Edwin James Group’s latest Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report has revealed a 10% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions.
In line with the company’s aim to source all energy needs from renewable sources, more than 90% of Edwin James’s office electricity requirements have come from renewables in the last financial year. Energy reduction efforts across multiple sites are said to have removed 55 tonnes of CO2e through reduced gas and electricity consumption, representing an 18% decrease from the previous year.
Over 35% of company cars are now fully electric and the company recently ran a pilot programme to start the replacement of around 70 diesel vans with eco-friendly alternatives.
CEO Christopher Kehoe said, “As a group, we believe that our success should not only be measured by financial achievements but also by the positive impact we make on the world around us. Our path towards 2030 continues to drive our efforts to become a more responsible company and to work with suppliers and customers who share our vision.
“Our commitment to our environmental goals and advancement towards net zero remains a key driver for the entire business. As does the promotion of safe and healthy work practices coupled with providing development opportunities at every level.”
