Ian Edgar Liverpool Limited, trading as Edgar Brothers
July 2024 Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Ian Edgar (Liverpool) Ltd t/a Edgar Brothers is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. Edgar Brothers have been ISO14001 Certified since 2011, our environmental impacts are low, due to the nature of our business, buying and selling, not production Our biggest emission source is flights, our staff need to visit suppliers and trade shows several times a year.
Emissions reduction targets
We have successfully reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions through the reduction in company car travel and the installation of LED lighting. However, Scope 3 emissions have increased over the past year due to the increase in the amount of overseas travel necessary to expand our business.
We hope that going forward we can make more use of remote meeting facilities; however, our business works best on face-to-face meeting. We donated £8500 to the National Trust’ ‘Plant a Tree’ fundraising appeal.
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
- We will continue our project to replace all lights in the building to LED as and when they come to the end of their life.
- We have completed an ESOS assessment.
- We will engage a consultant to assist with reducing emissions and more accurately calculating our emissions data.
- We aim to donate more money to tree planting schemes within the UK
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 250 tCO2e by 2029. This is a reduction of 24%
