Becoming carbon neutral
We recorded approximately 2,541 tCO₂e produced in 2022 and 1,580 tCO₂e in 2023, a reduction of 960 tonnes of CO₂. The emissions reduction is equivalent to the annual electricity use of 650,000 homes, or the carbon stored by 50,000 trees ngrowing for a year.
Since 2023 we have been working with Carbon Footprint Ltd, taking steps on a clear and focussed reduction plan and offset emissions by investing in environmental projects that actively prevent carbon from reaching the atmosphere.
