TD SYNNEX has succeeded in getting all four of its UK locations running on electricity from a renewable source before the end of 2023, which means that 100% of the electricity consumed by the business now comes from renewable sources.
The achievement further reduces the company’s UK carbon footprint and its Scope
1 and Scope 2 emissions. It came after the management company for its Bracknell offices confirmed that it has now switched to a green energy tariff from National Grid for The Capitol Building at Oldbury.
TD SYNNEX UK was already getting 90% of its power from renewable sources, with its warehouse facility at Magna Park, Lutterworth, and the office locations in Basingstoke and Warrington all using green energy.
Kevin Wragg, Director, Environment and Quality Compliance said: “We had set a target to get all our UK operations onto renewable electricity by the end of 2023 and we’re pleased to have achieved that goal. It’s vitally important that our industry continues to make progress in reducing its carbon impact and it is worth celebrating as every small step takes us a little bit closer to net zero.”
Efficiency gains, especially at its main Basingstoke offices, have also seen TD SYNNEX reduce its energy consumption quite significantly and the UK operation is on target to achieve its goal of achieving a 20% reduction this year. In Q1 2024, it expects to have electric vehicle charging points at all four UK locations. These will be free at the point of delivery to co-workers. There are already EV points available at the Basingstoke location.
