Leading British kitchen manufacturer, Moores, has added six fuel-saving vehicles to its fleet as part of its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
The move demonstrates the company’s roadmap to carbon neutrality, with the fleet now 100% compliant with Euro 6 standards for fuel emissions and consumption reduced by 20% versus older models.
The vehicle upgrade has helped to reduce the company’s carbon footprint by 195 tonnes across the entire fleet, which adds to the 200-tonne saving Moores has already made through a variety of other commitments.
To meet its carbon-cutting targets, Moores has made significant upgrades to the factory and office space, including changing more than 2000 standard light bulbs to smart LEDs and updating the old boiler to a brand new one that runs on biomass fuel.
The company also implements its five Rs principles – Remove, Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle and Recovery – while looking for new ways to minimise its carbon footprint throughout all areas of the business.
Overall, Moores has reduced their carbon footprint by 395 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to the amount of CO2 that 15,200 trees would remove from the atmosphere, and continues to position sustainability as a fundamental part of its long-term business strategy.
Dave Lomax, head of distribution and installations at Moores, said: “We remain on course to achieve our environmental goals through the upgrades to our delivery fleet. Our CO2 reduction targets are being consistently met and we look forward to continuing to service all our customers in a safe and responsible way as more and more ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zones) are activated in our major towns and cities.”
