Commitment to achieving Net Zero.

Critical Facilities Solutions is committed to achieving Net Zero based targets by 2030.

We will be implementing a number of operational changes over the next 5 years in order to achieve this target through a combination of emission reduction and carbon offsetting.

Carbon Reduction Projects

The following environmental management measures and projects have been or will be implemented since the business conducted in-depth baseline analysis:

  • Implementation of digital project management tools to reduce the usage of paper and energy scanning and shredding.
  • Implementation of training for all company drivers to encourage more fuel-efficient driving standards – monitored through fleet telematics devices which report of fuel efficiency as well as speeding, harsh breaking & acceleration and engine idling times.
  • Introduction of energy saving measures within the permanent office, LED lighting, lower power heating systems.
  • Policy introduced to review all meeting plans and only authorise travel where necessary, company wide access to MS Teams suite to allow remote meetings to be standard.
  • Approval policy for overseas travel with lower carbon emitting flights or group travel to be prioritised where travel in necessary.
  • Use of concentrated cleaning supplies which are diluted in situ with reusable applicators to reduce single-use plastic.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years by 25% per employee by 2030.

In the future we are also implementing further measures, some of these are listed below:

  • In addition to the above outlined reduction initiatives, CFS will also commit to achieving carbon neutrality by the use of offsetting projects such as new growth tree planting schemes.
  • In the future, we will be implementing more stringent supply chain controls to ensure that our upstream emissions are as controlled as possible.
