Bidvest Noonan’s Net Zero Targets Approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

April 29, 2025 by Neil Reilly

We are proud to announce that Bidvest Noonan’s near-term and net zero science-based targets have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

This validation confirms that our commitments are aligned with the most ambitious aim of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Under these approved targets, we will reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 42% by 2030, and achieve full net zero across our entire value chain by 2045.

Our journey towards net zero is well underway. Over the past 12 months, we have achieved a further 12% reduction in carbon emissions, putting us ahead of plan to meet our 2030 target. Our momentum has been driven by focused initiatives in fleet optimisation, energy management, procurement strategies, and operational efficiency. These results show that we are delivering meaningful, measurable progress today.

Securing SBTi approval reflects our commitment and the real sustained efforts of our people across the business. With our science-based targets now officially in place, we are accelerating our work to reduce emissions, drive efficiencies, and create positive outcomes for our customers, our communities, and the planet.

Every step we take today brings us closer to a stronger, more sustainable tomorrow.

Bidvest Noonan Achieves an Impressive 12% Emissions Reduction

February 25, 2025 by Shubhangi

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.

With dedicated sustainability resources and deep expertise within its ranks, Bidvest Noonan actively supports its suppliers and customers in achieving their sustainability goals.

Bidvest Noonan Achieves Milestone with First Comprehensive Carbon Footprint Assessment

August 7, 2024 by Site Manager

We are delighted to announce the completion of our first comprehensive carbon footprint assessment. This landmark achievement underscores our commitment to sustainability and our mission to create safer and healthier communities.

“Our first full carbon footprint assessment is a testament to our transparency and accountability,” said John King, ESG Director of Bidvest Noonan. “Our footprint demonstrates the work we have done in recent years. Understanding our emissions allows us to take meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact and provide sustainable solutions for our clients.”

The assessment adheres to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards.

The process involved a detailed analysis of emissions from the supply chain, employee commuting, fleet operations, and more. By engaging with suppliers and various departments, we identified key impact areas and opportunities for emission reductions.

“For customers, this signifies that Bidvest Noonan offers not only market-leading services but also environmentally conscious solutions, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable practices,” added John King.

Key findings showed that the supply chain and employee commuting are primary contributors to emissions, accounting for the vast majority of our footprint. Our business, which has adopted an electric-first policy for our fleet, has also implemented local recruitment policies, cycle-to-work schemes, and public transport initiatives to promote sustainable commuting for our 27,000 people. Additionally, we are working collaboratively with supply chain partners to further reduce scope 3 emissions.

Andrew Doyle, Procurement Director, commented on our efforts to assist the supply chain in becoming more sustainable: “We are actively working with our suppliers to enhance their sustainability practices. By collaborating closely and sharing best practices, we aim to reduce the overall environmental impact of our supply chain.”

Driving Forward with Our Carbon Reduction Plan

July 16, 2024 by Site Manager

In 2021, we launched our Carbon Reduction Plan, with the “Electric First” strategy at its core. Since then, we’ve made remarkable progress on this journey. 🔌🔋

Over the past year, more than 93% of our vehicle purchases have been electric, adding 135 electric vehicles to our fleet. To support this transition, we’ve enhanced a number of our offices with additional charging facilities for our colleagues.

This initiative is crucial, as vehicle emissions account for over 90% of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. We are steadfast in our commitment to becoming fully electric in the coming years.

Our efforts extend beyond vehicles. We have also made significant progress in transitioning our machinery to electric alternatives, further supporting our sustainability goals.

Together, we’re driving towards a greener future.

Food for Thought: A Simple Idea Transforming Workplace Inclusion

April 5, 2024 by Cinara

In today’s diverse world, people from different backgrounds meet daily, creating chances for innovation and understanding. While this diversity is valuable for team-building and generating varied ideas, the real challenge for organisations is to harness these differences effectively and authentically for significant benefits.


Our team at the University of Limerick, with its broad talent pool, recognised this potential. Keen on bringing together the unique perspectives of its colleagues to form a more effective and inclusive team, they were committed to creating an environment where everyone could flourish. In pursuit of this, they engaged in numerous initiatives and saw remarkable results. However, one idea stood out for its effectiveness and simplicity. This concept, employed in various cultures but less discussed in corporate settings, was ‘Food for Thought’. It involved the simple act of sharing meals – a universal practice of breaking bread together.


‘Food for Thought’ is straightforward: get people together to share a meal and and encourage them to share their unique stories. This age-old concept, reimagined for the modern corporate world, gains its power from simplicity. In a shared meal, there’s an opportunity for conversation, for personal stories to unfold, and for barriers to dissolve.


What makes ‘Food for Thought’ impactful isn’t just the act of eating together; it’s the exchanges that happen around the table. When colleagues share their personal stories, they begin to see each other beyond their professional roles. They discover common ground, understanding, and respect. These are the cornerstones of a truly inclusive workplace.


The influence of ‘Food for Thought’ stretches well beyond the lunch hour. It reshapes workplace culture, affects interactions, decisions, and attitudes. This initiative reminds us that sometimes, the most effective solutions emerge from the simplest ideas.

60-second interview with Helen Emerson, our Health and Safety Incident Prevention Executive and ED&I Ambassador

January 12, 2024 by Cinara

In our latest 60-second interview, we had the fantastic opportunity to sit down with Helen Emerson, H&S Incident Prevention Executive & EDI Ambassador. Helen opened up about her day-to-day life and driving passions.

How would you define your role at Bidvest Noonan?


My role is multifaceted, primarily focused on integrating health and safety into everyone’s mindset. I actively engage with people to understand their needs, conduct risk assessments, and devise solutions. As a Health and Safety Incident Prevention Executive, my role involves reducing insurance costs while working closely with people to find the best solutions for them and the business.


What has been your most memorable day at Bidvest Noonan?


One of the most memorable days I had while working at Bidvest Noonan was during the ‘Food for Thought’ event held at the University of Limerick. Although we had organised several ED&I events in 2023, this one was truly unforgettable. It was amazing to see everyone bringing dishes from their own cultures. It was more than an event; it was a celebration of our diversity, a real community moment. That day, we didn’t just share food; we shared stories and a sense of belonging.


What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?


The best piece of advice that I have received was about the importance of listening. Not just to the words spoken but to the unspoken ones, too. This advice has been the key in my personal and professional life. It’s about understanding, empathising, and really connecting with people.


How do you motivate yourself?


I motivate myself by setting personal standards and goals. I love the feeling of a full diary; it shows I’m making a difference. Ticking off tasks on my to-do list gives me a sense of achievement. It’s about setting targets and hitting them, day in and day out.


Who or what has inspired you the most?


What inspires me the most is the people who work with me, my colleagues in EHS like Marina Goncalves and Declan Ryan as well as those in the Risk and Compliance team. Additionally, the everyday learning experiences at Bidvest Noonan fuel my personal and professional growth. These interactions enrich my life and contribute to my development.


If you had a motto, what would it be?


“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.” This quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson is my guiding star. It’s all about ambition, diligence, and making the most of every moment.
