Climate change seems like a challenge that is too daunting even for world governments but if we all do something the overall impact will help change our world for the better. Camlab has approached climate change in the same way we approach all our challenges. We measure and analyse and then look for ways to improve our processes to effect the change we want.
Camlab has worked hard since the introduction of ISO14001 to dramatically affect the emissions we create. We have significantly reduced the emissions we create by 63% since 2013. This represents a 29% reduction (61.23 tonnes) as at 2019 with covid having an impact in 2020 and 2021 with reduced travel.
Our approach is to identify each business area / process that generates significant emissions and then we create plans to address those areas. There are currently 4 primary areas which we have identified as key – electricity & gas, company cars, other business travel and waste.
