LUC has confirmed its efforts to reducing carbon emissions by signing up to ‘Pledge to Net Zero’.

The campaign requires science-based targets from its signatories to tackle greenhouse gas emissions within their organisations.

The pledge recognises the need for organisations from the environmental services sector to take a leadership role in the transition to a Net Zero carbon economy.

LUC currently has a net carbon footprint, after carbon offsetting, of 330 tonnes across its six offices. Our main carbon reduction measures to date have centred around:

• installation of LED and smart occupancy-detection lighting;
• investment in energy-efficient IT infrastructure and appliances;
• extensive use of video conferencing to avoid business travel;
• a business travel policy that centres around public transport options and promotes walking and cycling where possible;
• a green procurement policy that favours low-or-zero carbon suppliers of goods and services;
• minimising purchases and purchasing environmentally-high-performing goods such as those with high recycled content.

Join us and make the pledge.
