Carbon Reduction Plan

Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Ian Edgar (Liverpool) Ltd t/a Edgar Brothers is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Edgar Brothers has been ISO 14001 certified since 2011. Our energy usage is low, due to the nature of our business, buying and selling, not production. Our biggest emission source is inbound deliveries, as our stock is air freighted into the country to fulfil customer expectations.
Emissions Reporting
Emissions reduction targets
We have successfully reduced our Scope 1 emissions by reducing company car travel. However, the 2024 figures are much more accurate than the 2023 figures as we engaged Carbon Neutral Britain to calculate our Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions have increased over the past year due to increased overseas travel required to expand our business and inbound deliveries from overseas. We hope that going forward, we can make more use of remote meeting facilities; however, our business works best in face-to-face meetings.
To continue our progress toward Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon-reduction targets.
- We will continue our project to replace all building lights with LED as and when they reach the end of their life.
- We have completed an Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) assessment.
- We have engaged Carbon Neutral Britain to assist with more accurately calculating our emissions data.
- We aim to donate more money to tree planting schemes within the UK
- We will look at alternative routes for inbound deliveries
To achieve this, a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030, we need to reduce emissions by 968.31 tCO2e. This will require a 7.14% reduction (138.27 tCO2e) per year.
