WEMCO Limited : Commitment to Carbon Reduction and Sustainability

At WEMCO Ltd., we are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable future. While we are in the early stages of developing our Carbon Reduction Plan, we are fully committed to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving Net Zero emissions.

Our first step is to assess our baseline emissions, which will serve as the foundation for our sustainability strategy. Once the baseline is established, we will set ambitious targets to reduce our emissions in line with government standards and industry best practices. These efforts will include:

- Transitioning our fleet to electric or hybrid vehicles.

- Implementing energy-efficient solutions such as LED/PIR lighting controls.

- Reducing business travel through remote working and virtual meetings.

We are committed to transparency and will report our progress in accordance with PPN 06/21, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Protocol, and SECR requirements. Our Carbon Reduction Plan will cover Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions, ensuring we meet all necessary reporting standards.

As we continue to develop and implement our sustainability initiatives, we look forward to playing our part in driving a greener future for the industry and the communities we serve.
