Carbon net zero by 2040
Working towards net zero
Sackers is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and aims to reach net zero by 2040. We reinforce our strategy by helping our customers cut their carbon emissions.
We outline our journey here and explain how our free waste audits are an excellent step for local businesses on their road to net zero.
Carbon net zero by 2040
It’s an ambitious goal, but we’re determined to reach net zero by 2040, a full ten years ahead of the Government’s target.
We have already attained the Bronze level award of the Suffolk Carbon Charter and aim to achieve Gold very soon. Our initiatives to cut our own carbon footprint include:
- Installing solar panels
- Fleet telematics to encourage efficient driving
- Working from home initiatives
- Adding movement-sensitive lighting
- Offering a Cycle to Work scheme
- Green procurement
- Carbon zero electricity
- 100% office recycling
- Local recruitment (where possible)
- Setting up a carbon committee
- Joining other businesses on a net-zero journey to share best practice.
But we intend to accelerate our journey with yet more innovations coming soon:
- Replacing diesel with high electric voltage
- Variable speed drive to prevent electricity spikes
- More solar panels
- Hybrid and solar lighting
- Investing in electric vans and incentivising electric company cars
- Air source heating
- Planting trees (including one for every customer)
Our efforts above would be pointless if we didn’t make our recycling plant processes as efficient and sustainable as possible. And by using our facility, customers know a far greater proportion of their waste is recycled or used for energy production.
