Carbon Reduction Plan
Supplier name: Adams Clinical Nutrition Ltd
Publication date: 25th November 2024
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
ADAMS Clinical Nutrition Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
Current Carbon Reduction Strategies:
-
Local Manufacturing: Utilising a UK-based manufacturer to minimise transportation emissions.
-
Sustainable Sourcing: Prioritising UK-sourced, British ingredients.
-
Sustainable Packaging: Employing 100% compostable packaging materials.
-
Reduced Transportation: Minimising transportation distances through local manufacturing and distribution.
-
Remote Work: Encouraging remote work to reduce commuting emissions.
-
Digital Communication: Utilising digital tools like Zoom and Teams to reduce business travel.
Future Carbon Reduction Strategies:
-
Energy Efficiency: Optimise energy usage in our office space and remote working setups.
-
Renewable Energy: Explore opportunities to use renewable energy sources for our manufacturing processes.
-
Waste Reduction: Continuously improve waste reduction and recycling practices within our operations.
Monitoring and Reporting:
-
Regular Tracking: Monitor energy consumption, waste generation, and other relevant metrics regularly.
-
Annual Reporting: Publish an annual sustainability report detailing progress towards carbon reduction goals.
-
Third-Party Verification: Consider obtaining third-party verification of carbon emissions and reduction efforts.
By adopting these strategies and leveraging our commitment to local sourcing and sustainable practices, we aim to minimize our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
As a pre-operational company, we haven't established a historical baseline for greenhouse gas emissions. We will establish our baseline emissions during our first year of operation (2025).
As a pre-operational company, we haven't implemented specific carbon reduction projects yet. However, our business model is designed to minimise our environmental impact from the outset.
