Paxton is Officially Carbon Neutral
28th August 2024
We have become carbon neutral certified in the UK, France, Germany, and South Africa.
We have measured our first ever carbon footprint and embarked on a clear and focussed reduction plan to improve our impact on the environment. Working with Carbon Footprint Ltd to ensure accurate data reporting, we recorded a total of 2,541 tCO₂e produced in 2022, equivalent to approximately 1,550 economy return flights from Heathrow to New York.
While introducing several operational changes that reduce carbon, we have invested in three global projects that actively prevent carbon from reaching the atmosphere and that best reflect its company values – helping to provide safe water at a project in Zambia and investing in solar and wind farms in Thailand and India.
Adam Stroud, CEO, said: “Limiting our impact on the environment is important to everyone at Paxton and we know it matters to our customers too. This is the first step on our journey to become a net zero company, something we plan to do well in advance of the 2050 limit. We are all focussed and working hard to make the right environmentally conscious decisions to achieve this.”
We have already made some significant changes to how it operates both prior to, and in direct response to, our carbon footprint report. This includes switching global shipping of product component from air freight to vastly more efficient and low carbon sea freight. Our 2022 carbon footprint report identified that nearly 57% of emissions produced came from upstream air freight so this has been an important adjustment.
We also now run all our UK buildings on 100% renewable energy tariffs and have invested in solar panels for the new Paxton Electronics Centre.
Other changes include a review of our travel policy to ensure mindful and economical business travel, incentivising our team to make greener choices. Currently 98% of all Paxton company vehicles are electric or hybrid with a goal to reach 100% as soon as possible.
We are also proud to sponsor the Freedom Flight, an initiative dedicated to accelerating the development of the first zero carbon 100+ seater passenger flight from London to New York. This autumn, the Paxton team are invited to take part in planting a tree for every employee globally. Our journey to net zero is being driven by our Green Team, a group of employees fully trained on carbon literacy. Their efforts coincide with the release of our Environmental Policy earlier this year.
