FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Bidvest Noonan has completed its first comprehensive carbon footprint assessment, which adheres to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards.
The process involved a detailed analysis of emissions from the supply chain, employee commuting, fleet operations, and more. By engaging with suppliers and various departments, Bidvest Noonan identified key impact areas and opportunities for emission reductions.
Key findings showed that the supply chain and employee commuting are primary contributors to emissions, accounting for the vast majority of the company’s footprint. The company, which has adopted an electric-first policy for its fleet, has also implemented local recruitment policies, cycle-to-work schemes, and public transport initiatives to promote sustainable commuting for its 27,000 people. Additionally, the company is working collaboratively with supply chain partners to further reduce scope 3 emissions.
John King, ESG Director of Bidvest Noonan said: “Our first full carbon footprint assessment is a testament to our transparency and accountability. Our footprint demonstrates the work we have done in recent years. Understanding our emissions allows us to take meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact and provide sustainable solutions for our clients.
“For customers, this signifies that Bidvest Noonan offers not only market-leading services but also environmentally conscious solutions, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable practices.”
