Climate Solutions (optional) *

Provide descriptions/names of your climate solutions:

*

- Moved from plastic Petri dishes in the laboratory to reusable glass ones. - Reuse office furnishings, stationery and electricals. If this is not possible, charitable donations are arranged. - We are a nearly paperless office environment due to using cloud-based file systems. - Vehicle fleet migrating to hybrid vehicles since 2009. - Since 2015, we have used Ecotricity as our energy supplier, making use of renewable energy. - Rewilding of the head office grounds to provide nature areas.

Methodology used to assess these as climate solutions:

*

We collect our meter readings on a monthly basis for gas, electricity and water. By recording our paper orders, we also monitor our paper usage. All of our company vehicles possess tracking systems installed to monitor driving style, with a minimum target score used. A fuel card also allows fuel consumption data to be analysed by our quality team.
