Energy Efficiency
In 2022 we reviewed our highest energy using processes to discover possible efficiencies and energy
saving:
•
•
•
Lighting upgraded with energy efficient LED lighting, including motion sensors where appropriate.
Finishing machine optimisation, which has resulted in a reduction of run time by 64%, projecting a
yearly saving estimate of -6,840kgCO2 and -1.6% of total kgCO2e.
Looms have a priority list, so weavers have visibility of the work required per loom to manage
switch on/off times more efficiently.
An independent third-party energy survey completed in December 2022 will inform further long-term
reductions and investment plans, including self-generated energy and energy recovery.
In 2023 we undertook a scope 3 carbon assessment with an independent third party and in 2024 we
introduced our decarbonisation strategy, with costed investment to 2026.
Sustainable Energy Sourcing
In 2023 we moved to a renewable electricity contract with Guarantees of Origin / REGO
For all the electricity we use, our supplier guarantees that the same amount of energy from renewable
sources will be fed into the National Grid. This is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin
(REGOs) and Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs) as proof.
Scope 3 impact
As a manufacturer we recognise that our biggest impact is within Scope 3 and in 2023 we undertook our
first full Scope 3 assessment, using market-based data and an independent consultant. This data will now
help us to inform our supplier engagement and collaborating on cross-industry supplier milestones.
