Goals in Numbers
Company-wide Energy Management System
Thermo Electric Instrumentation will implement an energy management system to optimise energy consumption, reduce costs, and minimise environmental impact. The system will identify inefficiencies, establish energy-saving targets, and monitor performance. This will include regular energy audits, staff training, and investing in energy-efficient technologies to achieve a 25% reduction in energy consumption by 2030.
REDUCTION
Comprehensive Supplier Sustainability Assessment
The company will develop a robust supplier sustainability assessment and monitoring system. This will evaluate suppliers’ environmental and social performance, set sustainability requirements, and track progress. The aim is to collaborate with suppliers to achieve a 20% reduction in supply chain greenhouse gas emissions and increase the use of sustainable raw materials to 50% by 2030.
Increase
Design-for-environment Strategy
Thermo Electric will develop a design-for-environment strategy to reduce the environmental impact of its products throughout their lifecycle. This includes considering material selection, energy efficiency, waste minimisation, and end-of-life disposal during the design phase. By 2030, the company aims to increase recyclable or reusable components in its products to 80%.
Recyclable
Climate Adaptation and Resilience Strategies
The company will develop and implement climate adaptation and resilience strategies. This involves assessing climate-related risks, such as extreme weather events and supply chain disruptions, and taking measures to strengthen infrastructure and build resilience. These strategies will include emergency response plans, infrastructure upgrades, and collaboration with industry peers and government agencies to support sector-wide climate resilience initiatives by 2030.
