Net Zero Pledge
Net Zero
At Uptec, we are committed to playing our part in addressing climate change and have set a goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. This pledge reflects our dedication to reducing our environmental impact and contributing to a sustainable future.
To achieve this, we will focus on reducing emissions across our operations, with particular emphasis on:
Scope 1 Emissions
We will minimise direct emissions from sources we own or control, such as:
- Reducing reliance on fossil fuels in any company-owned vehicles by transitioning to electric or hybrid alternatives.
- Implementing energy-efficient technologies in our facilities to reduce emissions from heating, cooling, and other operational systems.
- Minimising unnecessary air travel and where not possible, offsetting these journeys.
Scope 2 Emissions
We will address indirect emissions from the energy we purchase and use, including:
- Transitioning to 100% renewable energy sources for all our office locations and operations by 2030.
- Optimising energy efficiency in our facilities and digital infrastructure to reduce electricity demand.
- Engaging with energy providers to prioritise sourcing from clean energy grids.
Our Broader Approach
We are also committed to:
- Working with suppliers and partners to encourage sustainable practices and reduce emissions in our supply chains.
- Continuing to educate and engage our employees to embed sustainability into our day-to-day operations.
While achieving net zero by 2035 is ambitious, we are confident that by focusing on innovation, collaboration, and accountability, we can make meaningful progress and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
