Corby firm continues net zero journey

A Corby business that specialises in the distribution and fabrication of wood veneer and decorative laminate panels, is making great strides in their aim to be carbon neutral by 2030.

See Limited operates as a holding company for three businesses in the built environment industry sector - Inspired Surfaces, Performance Panels and Bousfields.

Plans implemented include the introduction of an Annual Carbon Footprint Report. Produced in partnership with environmental consultants EcoAct, it records the CO₂ impact of all three businesses in the group. An in-house Net Zero Team has also been established to implement new initiatives using the results of the report.

There has also been an investment in Solar PV (Solar Photovoltaics) for its Corby site, which has produced an annual saving of 32 tonnes of carbon emissions, as well as a partnership with More Trees to plant 20 trees for every order of Pura® NFC – Performance Panels’ weatherproof cladding for buildings. Over 1000 trees have already been planted.

The company is also part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with the target set and validated to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year, while also measuring and reduce scope 3 emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals of keeping global temperatures to 1.5 °C.

See Limited CEO, Robert Thompson, said: “As a group we are passionate about sustainability. It’s a daily topic of conversation, increasing awareness of our actions, as well as generating new ideas as part of our journey to achieve net zero by 2030.”
