Distributor Westcon-Comstor has achieved 100% renewable electricity across its UK operations in Bracknell, Cirencester, and Swindon.
The company, which operates in more than 70 countries, upgraded to energy-efficient LED lighting in Swindon, reducing energy use by 25,000 kWh annually, and installed electric vehicle charging stations at its Cirencester and Bracknell offices.
This progress is part of its global aim to fully transition to renewable energy by 2030.
Mark McLardie (pictured), Head of ESG at Westcon-Comstor, said: “Purchased electricity currently accounts for nearly 70% of our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions globally, and moving to renewable sources will accelerate our progress towards a 50% reduction in these emissions by 2030.
“We also recognise that reducing energy consumption has a vital role to play in ensuring our business is operating sustainably, and this is a real focus for us in the UK and globally.”
By setting the 100% renewable electricity target last year, the company aligns with the RE100 initiative to promote corporate renewable energy use.
