Bidvest Noonan has reduced its carbon footprint by almost 12% in its fiscal year 2024, with these figures externally verified. The company is now ahead of its target of achieving a 42% reduction in emissions by 2030 and progressing towards becoming a net-zero business.
The almost 12% reduction in emissions was achieved through targeted operational improvements, with the company’s procurement team playing a key role in driving sustainable sourcing and supplier engagement, including accelerating the company’s transition to electric vehicles and working hand in hand with customers and suppliers on sustainability.
“Addressing climate change requires collaboration, commitment, and continuous effort. No organisation can achieve sustainability alone. The industry is making great progress, and we are proud to help lead the way to a more sustainable future. ” said Nina Delia, Environmental Manager at Bidvest Noonan.
Bidvest Noonan has been an early mover in electric vehicles, introducing an electric-first policy, which has led to a growing percentage of its operations transitioning to electric vehicles. Additionally, as one of the largest providers of FM services across the UK and Ireland, with more than 27,000 people, Bidvest Noonan has a substantial supply chain. The company has prioritised working with its partners to help it operate more sustainably and to ensure that companies within its network act responsibly.
