Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Betterweld Group Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Emissions reduction targets
Year 1: Assess and Plan
- Conduct a comprehensive emissions inventory to identify the largest sources of emissions within your organization. This will help you prioritize areas for reduction.
- Develop an emissions reduction strategy that includes specific targets, key performance indicators (KPIs), and a timeline for implementation.
- Implement low-cost, high-impact initiatives in the first year, such as energy-efficient lighting, HVAC system upgrades, and employee training on sustainable practices.
Year 2: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
- Invest in energy-efficient technologies and practices. Consider LED lighting, smart building management systems, and improved insulation.
- Evaluate the feasibility of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, to reduce carbon emissions related to electricity consumption.
- Continue tracking and reporting on progress against your reduction targets.
Year 3: Supply Chain and Transportation
- Collaborate with your supply chain partners to identify opportunities for reducing emissions, such as sourcing materials locally or using more sustainable transportation options.
- Encourage employees to use alternative transportation methods, promote telecommuting, and support carpooling and public transportation.
- Implement a company-wide travel policy that emphasizes eco-friendly travel options.
Year 4: Carbon Offsetting and Sustainable Practices
- Consider carbon offset programs to neutralize emissions that are challenging to eliminate completely. Invest in credible carbon offset projects that align with your organization's values.
- Implement sustainable practices, such as waste reduction, recycling, and water conservation, to reduce your carbon footprint in non-energy-related areas.
Year 5: Review and Optimize
- Evaluate your progress toward the 30% reduction target and make adjustments to your strategy as needed.
- Celebrate achievements and recognize employees' efforts in reducing emissions.
- Communicate your successes to stakeholders and set new sustainability goals for the future
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 48,506.36 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 30%
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard[4] and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting[5].
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard[6].
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
