Annual sustainability report for a ficticious company that manufactures cars.
We have taken several measures to reduce our green house gas
emissions since we embarked on our sustainability journey.
We have improved plant efficiency 23% over the last two years which is the most significant contributor to our progress. We have also reduced our scope 2 emissions by actively increasing the amount of renewable electricity we purchase despite their being an increase in the monetary cost to doing this. We have also reduced our scope 2 emissions by actively increasing the amount of renewable electricity we purchase despite their being an increase in the monetary cost to doing this. However, the current constraints on electricity supply means we may have to purchase more non-renewable electricity
We continue to work with our supply chain to reduce their emissions. A number of suppliers have suffered constraints following the global energy crunch and we suspect in the short term our Scope 3 emissions will increase.
Our emissions per employee target was set at 1 to 1.5 tCO2e per employee per annum [1]. We are determined to get and stay within this range. Our most recent data on employees and emissions suggests we have been as low as 1.4 tCO2e per employee this year but on average have been at 1.6 tCO2e per employee this year.
We have used two different organisations to purchase carbon offset credits, firstly PlantsAndTrees who are local to our operations here in Leyland. They have a number of land areas in Sweden and Canada that contain the forestry related to our certified offsets. The second organisation is called OffsetFinance and they are also a registered trading platform but they do not have a complete list of source countries. They do list Angola and Zimbabwe. We are reviewing our future relationship with them. [2]
