1. COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVING NET ZERO
Superior Linen Limited is committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in line with the UK's net zero target and the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap. This plan sets out our emissions, how we measure them and the actions we will take to reduce them.
2. BASELINE EMISSIONS
Baseline year: 2025. Figures are estimates based on our energy use and activity data for the year.
Scope 1 (direct emissions): 0 tCO2e. We use no gas heating or company vehicles.
Scope 2 (purchased electricity): 2.1 tCO2e, from approximately 10,000 kWh of electricity used at our warehouse and office.
Scope 3 (included sources): 20.0 tCO2e, comprising sea freight of goods from our manufacturer to the UK, UK pallet delivery, business travel and waste.
Total: 22.1 tCO2e.
Scope 3 sources not included: emissions from raw materials and manufacturing by our manufacturer, which we will work with the manufacturer to measure and report from [2027].
Measurement uses UK Government (DESNZ) greenhouse gas conversion factors.
3. CURRENT REPORTING YEAR
Current year: 2025 (our first reporting year, so current emissions equal the baseline).
4. TARGETS
- Net zero by 2050 for emissions we control (Scopes 1 and 2) and for the Scope 3 sources we report.
- Switch to a 100% renewable electricity tariff by [December 2027], reducing Scope 2 market-based emissions to near zero.
- Reduce Scope 3 freight emissions per tonne of goods shipped by [10]% by [2030] against the 2025 baseline.
5. ACTIONS WE ARE TAKING
- Keep Scope 1 at zero: no fossil-fuel heating or company vehicles.
- Move the warehouse to a renewable electricity tariff and fit LED lighting.
- Import by sea freight only, which has far lower emissions per tonne than air freight.
- Consolidate shipments so containers and pallets are shipped full, reducing the number of journeys.
- Use pallet networks that consolidate deliveries rather than dedicated vehicles.
- Reduce packaging and waste, and recycle cardboard, plastic wrap and pallets.
- Measure and report emissions annually, and update this plan each year.
