BUILD Construction Engineering award Winners - Best Passive Fire Protection Specialists 2023 & 2024
Hi my name is..... oh wait!?
I would like to introduce myself as a new member of the team. My job here is to help educate children about the overlooked importance of fire doors in their schools. One thing I have missing is a name!
Can you help?
Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions refer to the release of carbon containing gasses, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), into the atmosphere. These emissions are largely a result of human activities particularly the burning of fossil fuels for energy (electricity, transportation, heating, etc).
OUR MISSION
Evolution is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2025.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
The carbon emission data has not yet been third party verified against our Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) obligation. But the data has been released to support this Carbon Reduction Plan, with the proviso some carbon emission adjustment may occur upon full verification.
​
Emissions reduction targets
Evolution is committed to its net zero carbon emissions ambition by 2050, from its own operations.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been implemented or being implemented to reduce our baseline emissions:
• Accreditation to the ISO14001 Environmental Management System (EMS).
• Review of purchase of electricity through a Renewable Electricity Guarantee of Origin (REGO) supply, allowing all our associated carbon emissions to be discounted from the annual Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirements.
• Review and Implementation of LED and lighting sensor projects across the workplace where required.
• Review of travel policy stipulating essential business flight travel only, resulting in reduced flight numbers, air miles and carbon emissions.
• Offering green commuting incentives to employees such as ride-to-work cycle Schemes.
• Staff environmental training and energy awareness guidance to help reduce energy consumption.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as solar panels and engaging with our core suppliers to reduce emissions.
