Bedrock Tiles are proud to announce some seriously climate-complimenting news – that we have achieved the status of becoming the first company in the UK tiling industry to be certified as Carbon Neutral. During the week of COP26 in Glasgow, this could not have been completed at a better time than now, especially while everyone’s attention is focused on sustainability.
The process for becoming certified is quite intense, thorough and not for the faint-hearted. It took us three months to collate and present all the data to the auditing company for scopes 1, 2 and 3.
It then took a further three weeks for that data to be analysed and reported back to us.
It has been calculated that Bedrock Tiles emit 52 tonnes of carbon while conducting our operational tile supplying activities over the course of a year. There are a few methods to opt into in respect to making the offsetting choices.
These could be to request your contribution payment is invested in large-scale hydro, turbine, forestation or solar projects. Bedrock chose to send their contribution to hydro and forestation projects.
The certification is an annual requirement and Bedrock have now incorporated it into the operational procedures along with factoring the costs into our budgets. We cannot wait to continue the good work that we have started next year and into the future.
While it is quite a process to become certified, it is imperative that we all get on board. Bedrock would like to extend an invitation to fellow businesses to get in touch with us to discuss, how and what we did to get there and encourage as many other, forward-thinking businesses to do the same.
n Bedrock can always help you find perfect sustainable tiles, at our award-winning showroom in Moulton Park or simply offer you some sound advice on tiles for your projects if you need it.
Please feel free to get in touch with the knowledge that all deliveries made by Bedrock are now carbon neutral.
