Over the past year, Edwards Commercial Cleaning (ECC) has achieved a 15.2% reduction in gross carbon emissions compared to the previous reporting period.
It’s a milestone they’re incredibly proud of and another important step on their journey towards Net Zero by 2030.
A Team Achievement
Achievements like this don’t happen overnight. They happen because people across the business make good decisions every single day.
From improving route efficiency and investing in the fleet to reducing waste and continually reviewing the way ECC works, sustainability has become part of its day-to-day thinking.
Every member of the team has played a part in this achievement while continuing to deliver the high-quality commercial cleaning services that their clients rely on every day.
A huge thank you must also go to Tamma Carel and the team at Imvelo for their continued guidance and support. They’ve challenged ECC, supported them and helped them better understand the environmental impact year after year.
Following their recent NEAA Sustainability Award (SME) win, this latest Carbon Report is another reminder that ECC are continuing to make real progress.
Perhaps what makes them most proud is that they’ve achieved this while continuing to grow as a business. It shows that sustainability and commercial success really can go hand in hand.
And that’s exactly how it should be.
Looking Ahead
Their ambition remains clear.
ECC will continue to invest in its people, review the way it works and look for new opportunities to reduce its environmental impact. In fact, this month they are launching a new uniform recycling initiative to ensure worn and damaged uniforms are recycled rather than sent to landfill. It’s another small step, but one that reflects ECC’s commitment to continually improving.
