MEASUREMENT & MONITORING CLEARING THE PATH TO NET ZERO
ETI
Electronic Temperature Instruments introduces measures to achieve net zero status by 2025
Electronic Temperature Instruments ( ETI ), the UK ’ s largest digital thermometer manufacturer and exporter of electronic thermometers and temperature probes , has introduced a company-wide strategy to help it achieve net zero status by 2025 . The company , which exports globally , is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and improving its environmental performance .
As recently as April , the UK government set the world ’ s most ambitious climate change target into law to reduce emissions by 78 % by 2035 compared to 1990 levels . Many of the UK ’ s largest organisations have now outlined their own targets with the BBC and Sky both aiming for net zero carbon status by 2030 , Sainsbury ’ s by 2040 , and British Airways by 2050 .
To achieve net zero status by 2025 , ETI has already introduced many positive changes to its processes to improve energy performance and efficiency . This includes :
• Installing renewable energy on all four ETI sites or switching to renewable energy suppliers
• Reducing transport use through improved logistics and / or switching to electric vehicles
• Continued use of online conferencing facilities instead of travelling to meetings
• Designing products for reuse , repair and recycling
• Reusing production waste materials where appropriate
• Develop strategies for more sustainable product packaging
• Recycling redundant materials that can ’ t be reused
• Sourcing products and materials from companies with recognised net zero policies and commitments
• Separating and minimising waste for easier recycling and reuse
• Reducing paper records and expand cloud storage
Moving forwards , ETI will now wish to see its own suppliers reference their approach to meeting this target within their own environmental policies .
Jason Webb adds : “ This is something that we should all be working towards together . Our net zero target of 2025 underlines our commitment to improving environmental performance . To curb emissions and limit global warming all organisations will have to reimagine their existing business models and aim for sustainable growth . We are continuing to take a leadership position in this effort – and are encouraging our clients and peers to do the same .”
