Have you set any resolutions for the new year? We have! As a leading timber merchant with a rich heritage dating back to 1865, Pattrick & Thompsons has always been committed to environmental responsibility. But this year, we're taking our sustainability journey to the next level by taking a proactive approach to reducing our environmental impact and creating a greener future. ♻️ Electric Cars: We're introducing a fleet of electric vehicles for our staff, replacing conventional cars and significantly reducing our carbon footprint. This move is not just about eco-friendly transportation; it's about leading by example. ♻️ Electric Forklifts: We're also replacing our diesel forklifts with electric forklifts, further minimising our environmental impact and promoting sustainable operations. ♻️ Energy Efficiency Measures: We've introduced energy-efficient practices on site to keep energy consumption to a minimum. ♻️ Solar Energy Investment: As part of our site redevelopment, we're planning to install a significant network of solar panels. This move will not only reduce our reliance on traditional energy sources, but also contribute to a greener future. We believe that sustainability is not just an obligation but an opportunity to make a positive impact on the planet, and with the 2050 Net-Zero deadline looming, what better time to start than now? We'll continue to share our progress with you all throughout the year, so keep an eye on our page 👀

Embracing Sustainability: Introducing Our Electric Vehicle Fleet In an ever-evolving commitment to environmental consciousness, our company, ISA, is thrilled to announce a momentous step towards sustainability: the integration of an innovative fleet of electric vehicles. As we embark on this transformative journey, we strive not only to reduce our carbon footprint but also to inspire change within our industry and beyond. The decision to adopt electric vehicles aligns seamlessly with our core values, as we firmly believe that businesses have a pivotal role in shaping a greener future. By transitioning our entire fleet to electric vehicles, we are taking a significant leap towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. As we embark on this new chapter, we are excited to witness the positive impact our electric vehicle fleet will have on the environment, our community, and the wider industry. Through this initiative, we aim to inspire others to follow suit, encouraging a ripple effect of change that will ultimately lead to a cleaner, healthier planet for generations to come. Together, let us embrace this sustainable revolution and drive towards a greener future, one electric mile at a time.

Knauf plans to deliver the smallest possible carbon footprint in the industry. By embedding sustainability across the business, we are minimising the energy we consume, the water and raw materials we use, and the emissions we generate. They are big goals, but we believe together we will get there. By our centenary year - 2032 - we're aiming for: ✅ 50% reduction in direct emissions ✅ 30% reduction in indirect emissions ✅ Zero to waste disposal And we're building for net zero by 2045.

What is the significance of achieving net zero emissions?

‘Leadership is all about getting shit done’. That was the final conclusion of a Natalie Campbell MBE speech at the sustainability event I just attended, and it’s hard to argue with the logic. When it comes to implementing net zero initiatives, there is a noticeable absence of getting-it-done being done. I was at Economist Impact 9th Annual Sustainability Week in London, an event for actionable insights to accelerate emissions reduction and enhance environmental impact in 2024. While there I caught up with my Volvo Construction Equipment friend Yann Teste, who was invited to participate in a panel discussion. But let's face it, talk is cheap without action. As speakers reiterated, it's about making concrete decisions, empowering knowledgeable individuals, and most importantly, getting things done. Not so fun fact: Did you know that London boasts over 25,000 compact excavators? Yet, not one of them is a Volvo electric compact excavator. It's time for manufacturers and consumers to connect the dots and embrace innovative solutions for a greener future. Let's rise to the challenge together, transform our approach to leadership and energy consumption. The journey to net zero starts with us – let's make every action count. In short, let’s get shit done. #econsustainability #volvoce #volvogroup #getshitdone

One of the ways that sustainability is stretching to all parts of the Prologis business: When we are building new warehouses and distribution centers, we are considering factors like, whether a roof could support solar panels in the future or how a site could be optimized for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
