Targeting Carbon Emissions

As a sustainability-minded business, we are playing our part in local, national and international efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Foll0wing the installation of over 2200 solar panels and the refurbishment of our hydro turbine in 2016-17, we are now purchasing all our remaining imported electrical requirements from renewable sources. Every megawatt-hour of electricity supplied is now matched with a UK-recognised origin certificate confirming the source was either from solar, wind or hydro generation.
