Through this programme we have been able to identify our business’s carbon footprint and pinpoint areas of focus to help reduce our emissions. Below is an action plan which highlights the next steps for Teledyne Valeport in its “Make it Net Zero” journey.

  • Estimate staff commuting using size of vehicle and fuel type

Medium term objectives within the next 36 months

  • Once waste data has been collected, identify any waste going to landfill and look to switch to recycling
  • Once paper use is calculated, look at opportunities to reduce paper such as digitalising processes
  • Encourage employee engagement for green travel and zero carbon miles e.g. walk to workdays

Long term objectives by 2050 at latest

  • Use high quality and verified offsetting schemes or carbon removal technologies to eradicate residual emissions

Updates

Teledyne Valeport are making a series of changes around the business to reduce the impact of our activities on the environment. Most recently we have had solar panels installed on our Radcliffe building.

In the first month 1,119kwh of electricity was used in the building and the solar panels produced 4,004kwh. This means the solar panels are now completely powering the Radcliffe building whilst also creating an excess, allowing green energy back into the grid.
