Carbon Emissions Reduction Plan

Bill Gosling Outsourcing Limited aim to deliver a minimum 5% per annum carbon emission reduction each year with a stretch goal of 7.5% reduction, with the aim of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. We project that by 2029 we will have reduced our emissions to 16.1 tCO2e, a further drop of 32.5%.

We have done this by focussing on several key areas:

• Only using renewable energy sources
• Committing to the use of public transport for business travel wherever possible, and reducing the frequency of travel between sites
• Relying on video conferencing for more meetings
• Reducing single plastic usage and encouraging the use of re-usable water bottles
• The use of low energy LED bulbs in our offices and more energy efficient printers
• Ensuring any paper waste is fully recycled so nothing is added to landfill

Future Plans

We are currently investigating schemes that we could support that drive carbon capture e.g. the planting of trees, and our internal staff committee that deals with all our local community initiatives and fund raising (Guardians of the Goslings) are developing a programme of education for all staff on the benefits of amending their diets and how this can help with their overall health as much as contributing to a more sustainable environment.

We are also investigating ways we can make our office space more energy efficient to allow us to better manage our energy usage from a heating perspective due to more effective insulation/heat retention, and reduced requirement for air conditioning on warmer days. We are also investigating the implementation of automatic lighting functionality whereby they will auto shut-off if there is no activity within a room to allow better management of our electricity usage.
