Minimising the environmental impacts from our properties and operations

We operate from sites across the world, which includes 11 significant engineering sites where we operate development and customer service labs. We aim to minimise our environmental impact, particularly through promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as reducing carbon emissions.

Priorities

  • Resource efficiency: We aim to minimise the energy, materials and water used within our operations.

  • Renewable energy: We aim to maximise our use of renewable energy.

  • Climate change and GHG emissions: We aim to minimise our contribution to climate change and manage the impacts, risks and opportunities that will affect our business and supply chain.

2020 highlights

  • We sourced 100 per cent of our electricity from renewable sources in 2020.

  • We reduced our emissions by 9 per cent from last year, meaning we have reduced absolute emissions by 33 per cent since our 2014 baseline.

Our approach

01: Resource efficiency

Our labs are the largest energy user within our operations and, as such, are the main focus of our energy efficiency initiatives. Our lab in Calabasas is the largest in the Group, and we have invested in making it as energy efficient as possible, installing hot-isle containment and in-row cooling, and monitoring energy use in each rack.
