Rudolph & Hellmann 2024 Sustainability Report

Our Carbon Reduction and Net Zero Commitment Charting a Course for a Sustainable Future At Rudolph and Hellmann, we’re deeply committed to combating climate change. We firmly believe that businesses have a crucial role to play in building a sustainable future. That’s why we’ve pledged to achieve Net Zero emissions before 2050. This isn’t just a statement; it’s a commitment backed by action and a clear roadmap. Our Net Zero Objectives: A Framework for Progress To reach our ambitious goal, we’ve established the following key objectives: l Annual Quantification: We will annually quantify all relevant and material emissions, adhering to the rigorous ISO 14064-1 standard. l Client Engagement: We’ll actively engage with our clients to collect the data necessary for accurate emission reporting, fostering collaboration and transparency. l Continuous Improvement: We’re dedicated to continually introducing new initiatives to reduce emissions across all categories, driving innovation and efficiency. l Energy Efficiency: We will implement energy efficiency measures to minimise our overall consumption, optimising resource use. l Supply Chain Collaboration: We’ll engage with our clients and supply chain to promote sustainable practices throughout our network, extending our impact. Transparency is paramount. We will publicly disclose our results annually via our website, making our progress readily accessible. Details on our calculation methodologies are also available upon request, fostering open communication. Setting Tangible Targets: Milestones on Our Journey We’ve established a series of milestones and quantitative targets to guide our emission reductions relative to our baseline year. These are the first formal GHG reduction targets Rudolph and Hellmann has set, and they are subject to regular review and adaptation as new data emerges, ensuring we remain agile and responsive.
