At Enable, we care deeply about reducing our environmental impact and operating in a sustainable, socially responsible manner. Our Environmental Policy outlines our philosophy and practices for promoting sustainability across our operations. We are focused on two key areas:
Energy and Emissions Reduction
Reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is a top priority for Enable. We are actively working to:
• Regularly evaluate our energy usage and identify opportunities for improved efficiency
• Encourage employees to adopt energy-saving practices in their day-to-day work
• Explore the feasibility of renewable energy options
• Promote more sustainable transportation choices for our staff
Waste Minimisation
Enable is also committed to reducing the waste we generate. Our approach includes:
• Evaluating our current waste streams and pinpointing opportunities to reduce, reuse and recycle
• Implementing robust recycling programmes wherever possible
• Collaborating with suppliers to explore more sustainable packaging options
• Fostering a culture of waste awareness amongst our employees
As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, Enable seeks out opportunities to engage with environmental groups, support sustainability education, and involve our employees in volunteer sustainability initiatives.
We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing process of continuous improvement. While we are pleased with our efforts to date, we know there is always more we can do. Enable is dedicated to operating in an environmentally responsible manner and doing our part to protect our planet for the future. Our Environmental Policy serves as our guide in this vital endeavour.
Environmental Sustainability Goals
Scope 1 and 2 Emissions Pledge
We pledge to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions from our global operations and facilities by 2030. This includes:
• Reducing our direct emissions from owned/controlled sources (Scope 1) by at least 90% from a 2019 base year
• Reducing our indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2) to zero by transitioning to 100% renewable electricity across all sites
• Investing in energy efficiency, electrification of processes, and on-site renewable energy generation
• Offsetting any residual hard-to-abate emissions through certified carbon removal projects
Scope 3 Emissions Pledge
We commit to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain by 2040, in line with the UK’s national target. Specifically:
• Reducing our upstream Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods/services and transportation by 50% by 2030
• Engaging our top suppliers to set their own science-based emissions reduction targets
• Implementing circular economy principles to reduce waste and extend product lifetimes
• Transitioning to low-carbon and recycled materials in our products and packaging
• Enabling our customers to reduce emissions from the use of our products and services
• Offsetting any residual value chain emissions through certified nature-based and technological solutions
Our net zero targets are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C and will be reviewed every 5 years in line with the latest climate science. We will report annually on our progress through established reporting frameworks.
