Energy efficiency actions
The methodology used is the WBCSD/WRI
Greenhouse Gas Protocol – a corporate
accounting standard revised edition in
conjunction with UK Government environmental
reporting guidelines including SECR guidance.
An operational control approach has been taken.
We have used the UK Government greenhouse
gas conversion factors for company reporting
2023. Scope 2 emissions from purchased
electricity have been measured using a
location-based approach.
1. We are procuring REGO backed renewable
electricity across all our operational sites,
leading to a significant reduction in Scope 2
emissions (under market-based reporting).
2. We are rolling out our Brilliance in the Making
continuous improvement programme across
our manufacturing sites. Through this
programme, we are investing heavily in the
training of our staff on better problem solving
and teamworking skills. This programme
improves energy efficiency through reduction
in changeover times, through improvements
in line reliability and the reduction of waste.
3. As part of our capital investment programme
at our Cumbernauld manufacturing site we
are in the process of installing a new PET line.
The oven of the new line will consume circa
11% less power than the previous line. High
pressure air consumption will be 20% less
than on the previous line. This will result in
an estimated annual 195,000 kWh savings.
4. We procured and received 12 CNG trucks that
run on biomethane to replace diesel. This is
expected to deliver reductions of 240 tCO2e
per annum.
5. The trucks at our Moston depot ran on
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil instead of diesel,
contributing to an estimated reduction of
100 tCO2e.
Intensity ratio
For 2023/24 location-based emissions, our
emissions intensity, measured as the total Scope 1
and 2 emissions relative to the thousand litres of
product produced is 25.63 kg CO2e per thousand
litres of product produced. This compares to
20.34 kg CO2e per thousand litres of product
produced, as detailed in our previous Annual
Report. The increase is due to additional
reporting of fugitive CO2 emissions from
the carbonation process.
