Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Unisurge International 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.

Baseline Year: 2022
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
To date there has only been Scope 1 and Scope 2 reporting and following internal restructuring at the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024 Unisurge are now in the process of gathering data to also provide Scope 3 measurements during 2024 for reporting at year end in line with Scope 1 and 2.

Emissions reduction targets
Unisurge targets are being generated following the internal restructuring process began at the end of 2023. The Head of Sustainability will be in place February 2024 and will be generating and controlling the emissions reduction plan. The final plan will be added to this document during April/May 2024 and will be updated quarterly.
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 1,400 tCO2e by 2029. This is a reduction of 24% this is scope 1 and 2 only and will be amended once scope 3 data has been input.
 Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

Unisurge are ahead of target and on course to achieve Net Zero 2044.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2022 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 80 tCO2e, a 5%ge reduction against the 2022 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract. The initiatives list will be updated monthly.
  • Completed Carbon Reduction projects and initiatives include installation of the largest Solar roof in West Suffolk at our headquarters.
  • A full fleet of electric company cars.
  • Electric charge points on site to encourage staff to buy electric vehicles and use Unisurge electricity at a reduced rate.
  • A by-product of our ETO sterilisation process is heat. This is used to heat the warehouse negating the need for any other heating systems.
  • Local supplier sourcing to reduce scope 3 emissions. First success will be in place before the end of January 2024.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
Unisurge are working towards ISO14067:2018.
 Unisurge International will be assessing the use of reforestation Carbon Balancing and are gathering the information to provide full year Scope 3 figures and will adjust the plan accordingly.
