The ChallengeB&M began working with us in 2010 as they wanted to improve their sustainability, reduce their emissions and costs and optimise marketing and tender opportunities.

OutcomeSince 2010, B&M has reduced their carbon emissions by over 32% per £M turnover. The majority of their emissions are caused by their lorry freight, site electricity and company car travel, producing over 95% of their total CO2e emissions. Aided by our services, B&M use their Carbon Management Plan to set annual targets that are actively managed to achieve carbon reductions. B&M has managed to decrease their emissions per £M turnover, whilst still growing as a business, through implementing a wide range of technologies and processes across the business such as upgrading the company cars to petrol hybrids to reduce carbon emissions. B&M has also achieved PAS 402 compliance and was one of the first companies in their sector to achieve carbon neutrality with PAS 2060 compliance. |
