We’ve commissioned a bespoke carbon footprint calculator

We have commissioned Garry Warhurst, the former head of compliance and sustainability at Cranswick, to build a bespoke database to calculate the factory’s emissions.

We tasked Garry with building an easy to use interface to help us calculate our carbon footprint.

“After being approached by Soanes Poultry to develop a user friendly system for them to calculate their carbon footprint, I developed a database which works to Greenhouse Gas Protocols and covers Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions,” said Garry.

“I used my sustainability, governance, and IT development skills to develop this system which automatically calculates the business’s carbon footprint and is a great tool for any small to medium business to keep track of their emissions.”

Although we’re not a PLC and have no legal obligation to measure or report our emissions, MD Ben Lee commissioned Mr. Warhurst because he wanted a baseline emissions figure against which to measure future savings.

Ben said: “We’re working hard to reduce our carbon emissions to safeguard the business for future generations of the Soanes family. Our sustainability initiatives include biomass boilers, solar and wind turbines on the farms, a heat recovery system and energy efficient refrigeration systems in the factory, and an £850,000 investment in 1648 solar panels to power the factory that will go live shortly.

“We look forward to seeing Garry’s  baseline figure reduce as the impact of the solar array and other environmental initiatives kick in.”
