Carbon Reduction Plan

Raytell Electrical – Carbon Reduction Plan 2024

Commitment to Net Zero by 2050: Raytell Electrical is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050 in alignment with UK government targets. We actively reduce our carbon footprint through sustainable business practices, investment in energy-efficient technologies, and fostering green partnerships.

Carbon Emissions Reporting:

Raytell Electrical has adopted the required methodology for carbon emissions reporting, covering the three Scopes defined by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol:

• Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Emissions from company-owned or controlled sources, such as on-site fuel consumption for generators and gas heating.
  • Raytell has minimized direct emissions by:
    • Installing solar panels and energy storage systems (ESS) at our office to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
    • Encouraging local recruitment, which reduces commuting emissions.
• Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions from Energy): Emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the company.
  • We have reduced these emissions by:
    • Utilizing solar energy at our premises.
    • Sourcing green energy for our remaining energy needs from renewable energy suppliers.
• Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Emissions from sources not directly controlled by the company, such as supply chain operations, waste management, and employee commuting.
  • Raytell’s measures include:
    • Partnering with suppliers who use electric vehicles for deliveries.
    • Ensuring all old lighting fittings and electrical materials are responsibly disposed of through certified waste disposal partners, who provide waste transfer notes for compliance.
    • Using local suppliers and subcontractors to minimize emissions from transportation and logistics.

Environmental Management Measures: Raytell Electrical implements comprehensive environmental management measures during project execution, ensuring carbon reduction in line with our goals:

• Sustainable Procurement: Prioritizing eco-friendly and low-carbon products, especially in selecting materials for installations.
• Energy-Efficient Installations: Specializing in the installation of LED lighting, solar panels, and electric vehicle (EV) chargers, which contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of our clients and project sites.
• Waste Reduction: Partnering with waste disposal companies to ensure proper recycling and disposal of electrical components, ensuring compliance with our ISO14001:2015 Environmental Management System accreditation.
• Electric Fleet and Local Deliveries: While Raytell does not operate a fleet of cars, we encourage and ensure that our suppliers use electric vans to deliver materials to our sites.
• Green Office Operations: Continuing the use of solar energy and energy storage systems at our office, minimizing our operational carbon footprint.

Reporting Period: Our most recent Carbon Reduction Plan covers the period from January 2023 to December 2023. The next update will be provided within 12 months of the publication date, ensuring continuous alignment with our environmental objectives.
