Following independent external verification, Mears has reported progress in reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the pathway to net zero.
The latest report shows Mears has successfully reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions from sources that it owns or controls by 8.1%.
Notably, Scope 2 emissions associated with purchased electricity have also decreased by 62.7%, alongside an overall reduction in energy consumption of 10.3%, when compared to their 2021 baseline.
Scope 3 emissions remain the largest contributor to the organisation’s carbon footprint and Mears continues to work across its value chain to achieve net zero across Scope 3 emissions by 2045.
Over the last year, Mears have strengthened reporting in this area by expanding the categories included and improving data quality. Katie Lavin, Head of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) at Mears, said:
“It’s encouraging to see the progress reflected in our latest report, particularly as we have continued to grow revenue while improving our emissions performance.
“We have made meaningful strides in how we measure, manage and report emissions, which is an important step forward. While this progress is something to be proud of, we recognise there is more to do as we continue towards our net zero ambitions.”
The report has been externally verified by specialist consultants, providing Mears assurance that GHG emissions data has been independently reviewed, and strengthening confidence in the accuracy, transparency and consistency of carbon reporting.
