Russell Roof Tiles (RRT) has achieved Planet Mark certification, after announcing its commitment to becoming a Net-Zero business by 2040 back in January.
Planet Mark is a sustainability certification that provides businesses the support to understand their impact on the planet whilst helping to build transparent and trusted businesses in terms of sustainability progression.
With its commitment to Net-Zero 2040, RRT’s major focus is on direct emissions (Scope 1 & 2) and the reduction of fossil fuel use, energy efficiency, maximising renewables and procuring green energy. This is a process of continual improvement and refinement with all its three manufacturing sites sharing knowledge and initiatives in its own internal ‘race to zero’.
As part of the Planet Mark certification RRT is reducing its total carbon per employee with one of its first targets being to reduce carbon by 5% from its current figure of 18.6tCO2e per employee.
RRT is also supporting the partnership with between the sustainability certification company and climate change charity Cool Earth.
