Making changes for a positive tomorrow
The team at SEERS are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and making a positive impact on the environment.We have already begun to implement some positive green changes throughout the business.
On the road to GREEN
As early as 2023, we began to make small steps towards our 2045 goal, making positive changes with our environment in mind.
In 2023, we established an electrification programme to move as many commercial vehicles to electric battery power. We already have a number of our company cars electrified with others in the pipeline. Within this, we have also installed BEV chargers on site to enable colleagues and visitors to charge their vehicles, promoting this change in behaviour and ethos amongst our team.
In 2024, we committed to measuring our carbon footprint of business activities annually, creating a Green Team to lead such initiatives throughout the business. We began to move towards being more energy efficient by installing LED lighting throughout with PIR sensors to ensure if no-one is present, the lighting goes off, as well as rolling out a company-wide policy to ensure all electronics not in use are turned off when leaving a room, such as computers and air conditioning.
In early 2025, we finished the installation of 450 solar panels, which will produce an estimated 102,576 kWh of clean electricity per year.
We also recycle as much of our waste material as possible. For example, foam offcuts are repurposed and cardboard and plastic is baled, then collected by a local waste management company.
Net Zero by 2045
Carbon reduction is a long-term journey, which SEERS Medical are committed to tackling head-on with the aim of reaching our target.
Through partnering with the organisation, Positive Planet, we began measuring our carbon emissions in all 3 scopes last year.
As a result of the data, a carbon reduction plan was put in place, where we have committed to reaching Net Zero by 2045, 5 years ahead of the government target.
Our 2045 targets
As a result of gathering our emission data, we’ve set some key milestones that we want to reach, with time-bound targets and KPIs in the interim.
By 2045, we aim to achieve the following objectives:
- Reduce our total market-based emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) by at least 90%
- Neutralise any residual emissions using verified carbon offsets
To track our progress towards these long-term goals, we have set some near-term targets.
By 2025, we aim to measure all scope 3 categories. This will allow us to have a more accurate picture of SEERS’ carbon impact. Once we have a fuller picture, we can use this data to create further reduction strategies to help us achieve our 2045 target.
By 2026, we aim to develop and implement a Sustainable Travel Policy. The policy will aim to promote active travel and low emission travel options where possible for our employees.
By 2028, we aim to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide training and engagement for our Green Team, Leadership and the wider employee base. Our hope is that if our colleagues are more carbon literate, they will take responsibility for reducing their own carbon footprints of which up to 50% are work-related.
- Implement a Sustainable Procurement Policy.
- Commit to a sustainability audit or survey. By gathering important data, this will assist us in provide accurate measurements, as well encouraging supply chain integration towards Net Zero.
By 2030, we aim to achieve the following objectives:
- Reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42%.
- Procure 100% renewable electricity.
- Reduce measured scope 3 emissions by 42%.
