Zeus Packaging has released its 2023 Carbon Emissions Report, marking a significant milestone in their journey towards achieving net zero emissions. This comprehensive report, with 2023 as their base year, offers an in-depth analysis of their carbon footprint and sets a solid foundation for their future sustainability initiatives.
For the year 2023, Zeus’s total carbon emissions amounted to 198,000 tCO₂e, broken down as follows:
- Scope 1: 2.9 ktCO₂e
- Scope 2: 4.9 ktCO₂e
- Scope 3: 190 ktCO₂e
With an average of 107 tCO₂e per employee, their emissions are on par with other companies in the wrapping and packaging sector.
Their ultimate goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, a commitment publicly affirmed through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This initial report provides detailed insights into their Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with ongoing efforts to refine their Scope 3 emissions data.
- Scope 1: Transitioning their fleet from diesel to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and introducing hybrid and electric vehicles for their sales representatives.
- Scope 2: Investigating Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) to secure certified renewable energy and exploring the use of solar panels.
- Scope 3: Refining their supplier database to better understand their supply chain and identify areas for emissions reductions.
Declan Breen, Head of Sustainability, said, “This report is a significant milestone for us, demonstrating our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and leading the way towards a more sustainable future. Our efforts to transition our fleet to more sustainable options and secure renewable energy sources are just the beginning. By setting a strong example, we hope to inspire others in our industry to follow suit. Together, we can make a substantial impact on combating climate change.”
