Britplas is pleased to announce that it has achieved SBS Certification by committing to join the UNFCC Race to Zero, that is, pledging to become a Net Zero business by 2045.

Taking 2022 as a benchmark year, the company will be working with SBS (Sustainable Business Services) to monitor and measure its carbon footprint across all areas of its operations.

A full carbon reduction plan with objectives for 2024 is currently being finalised with the aim of reducing emissions by 50% by 2030, and becoming carbon neutral by 2045.

“We are very excited to be able to announce our commitment to becoming a Net Zero business” commented Britplas Business Systems Manager Jodie Thoms.

“It’s an initiative which will involve all areas of our operations and we’re looking forward to working closely with our supply chain and partners to help make a positive impact and reinforce our commitment to responsible business.

“Do watch this space as we’ll be issuing more details on our plan and progress in due course.”
