Our Environmental Strategy

Our Commitment to Climate Change

To realise our vision of a greener tomorrow, we have outlined clear and actionable sustainability goals, aligned to the UN framework for Sustainable Development Goals

Our first and foremost goal is to minimise our impact on climate change. We fully back the Paris Agreement, working diligently to ensure a 1.5°C world. To this end, we've committed to:

Achieving Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.
Aligning our targets with the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).

Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi)

We are currently hard at work developing the necessary documentation to apply for full verification under the SBTi. This is an important step for ensuring transparent and comprehensive climate ambitions.

Scope 1: 45% reduction from our 2019 baseline by 2032. This involves

1. Transitioning to sustainably sourced bio-fuels for material handling equipment and our van fleet. 2. Minimising our dependence on natural gas for heating.

Scope 2: Continual procurement of 100% renewable electricity via the UK Government’s REGO scheme.

Despite our green energy efforts, energy efficiency remains key. Our strategy includes: 1. Reducing grid electricity usage per good tonne produced. 2. Focusing on onsite renewable energy generation and process efficiency.

Collaborative Initiatives with Industry Members

Radius Systems is dedicated to:

Collaborating with industry members to find opportunities for reducing our climate impact.
Working with customers to contribute to the UK's hydrogen transition, paving the way for cleaner energy sources.
Teaming up with suppliers to uncover sustainable and innovative sources of materials with a minimised environmental impact.

Commitment to Circular Materials Use

At Radius Systems, we are steadfast in our dedication to a more sustainable future, evidenced by our proactive approach to materials use. Our commitment goes beyond mere recycling; we are reimagining the lifecycle of materials to foster a truly circular economy within our operation

Collaborative Pursuits for Eco-Friendly Packaging Innovations

We recognise the power of collaboration in driving environmental change. In concert with industry allies, we're crafting eco-friendly packaging solutions that marry sustainability with the safe transport of critical components. It's a concerted effort across our industry to elevate packaging practices, striving for material reduction and circularity.

Conscientious Material Sourcing and Enhanced Operational Efficiency

Delving into alternative plastic feedstocks epitomises our dedication to ecological stewardship. Our operational efficiency initiatives are aimed at optimising resin usage and curtailing waste, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. These strategic endeavours highlight our leadership in propelling the industry towards a sustainable and accountable trajectory.

Actions we take towards sustainability

Our sustainability approach is more than just words. Below are some actions we take on the road to a greener future.

We safeguard local ecosystems with stringent pollution prevention, while empowering our team through targeted environmental training. This dual approach ensures the protection of natural habitats and fosters a culture of sustainability, where every employee is a custodian of our environmental commitments.

We actively work to minimising plastic loss to the environment through being a signatory to Operation Clean Sweep®. Through Operation Clean Sweep® we have implemented infrastructure upgrades to stop plastics from escaping our site to the local water course. We are also improving spill defences and providing training to bolster local water course protection.

Our fourth goal involves raising environmental awareness. All employees undergo training on the environmental impact of Radius Systems' operations and their responsibilities in this regard. This is to foster ownership of the sustainability agenda and help facilitate conversations where those who are experts in our processes can provide ideas on how we can limit our environmental impact.

Lastly, we are committed to continuous improvement. Regular audits and reviews of our environmental processes ensure they remain up-to-date, fit for purpose, and compliant with relevant environmental legislation. Our commitment to zero waste to landfill and procurement of 100% renewable electricity showcases our dedication to maintaining our environmental upgrades.

Everyone Plays a Part

From our senior management to every employee, customer, partner, and stakeholder, each plays a vital role in our sustainability journey. Senior management ensures understanding and commitment throughout the organisation as well as setting the heading for our next steps. With their invaluable experience the wider workforce, contributes e to the development and improvement of controls, processes, and procedures that ensure all aspects of our sustainability policy are accomplished. This is matched by collaboration with industry partners to provide environmental solutions, and with our customers. Together, we strive to achieve necessary objectives and targets, building a greener, more sustainable future for all.
