A Strategic Approach to Reaching Net Zero for a Leading Media Company

Objectives

A leading media company is working towards an ambitious target to reach net zero carbon operations before 2030. Known for the promotion of sustainability through its operations, the company increasingly understood that it needed to be more ambitious with its sustainability agenda and sought a strategy to reduce CO2 emissions, whilst minimising disruption to operations. 

Project

Services

• Completion of investment–grade surveys of the sites, employing deep technical expertise in the optimisation of operations and in the identification of new energy conservation methods, to assess the baseline energy consumption and the potential to reduce carbon. 
• Utilising a common-sense approach to energy management to identify ways to reduce or eradicate usage, to use energy more efficiently, to reuse or recycle waste resources from the building or the local area, to improve control systems to prevent waste, and to improve employee engagement. 
• Development of a comprehensive implementation plan to transform the operations of the campuses, delivering substantial cost and carbon savings.  

Future projects falling outside of the current investment parameters will be reviewed continuously to seek additional savings. 

Impacts

The project identified the following substantial opportunities to improve the operational efficiency of the campuses:

• The removal of 1,500 Tonnes of CO2e with approximate savings of over £700,000 annually
• An 11% reduction of the company’s carbon emissions across the sites

The company will also benefit from protection against market risks associated with climate change impact as well as resilience to rising energy costs.
