Figures are provided for UK entity only

Due to a local complexity on manufacturing site in Pencoed, we are unable at this stage to report scope to base figures we are working with our landlord the Welsh government to enable us to separate the energy usage for our unit within the site where we are co-located with other businesses we are confident a solution can be found in the next 12 months and provide more accurate emissions for scope 1

 

During year 2024 we established that not all contributors would be able to supply us with suitable data for scope 3.  We are currently going through a process of engaging with our suppliers of upstream and downstream activities to look in how they and we share information and mapping the infrastructure and tools required to enable us to record emissions and monitoring for future reporting
