2050

2.1.1 Base year

*
2023

2.2 Near-term target

*

2% of intensity scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2024

2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.

*
During 2024, LED lighting, laundry energy efficient heat pump and energy efficient heating has been installed in our new people welfare facility. We have appointed an IEMA member, QHSE Manager to drive our environmental plan. We have appointed an energy champion to optimise energy consumption. Both individuals, are integrating energy management to operational routines, identifying opportunities within machinery downtime, PPM's, changing heat exchangers, pumps, and motors. A project to upgrade legacy transformers is underway, with support from an energy consultant. We planned to lease a 5 tonne electric FLT to replace an old diesel FLT. Evaluation and tender of renewable energy sources to reduce reliance on grid supplied electricity, to allow a move towards market based emissions reporting.

Own Emissions *

3.1 To reduce emissions in line with my commitment, my company has a plan and is taking action

*
Yes

Energy consumption

3.2 Total energy consumption

*
2287504 kwh

3.3 Renewable energy

*
0 kwh

Scope 1 emissions

3.4 Scope 1 emissions

*
46 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

*
454 metric tons CO2e

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

*
During 2023, 3 compressors were replaced, with an estimated energy saving of 35MWh per year, equivalent to a CO2 saving of 8140kg per year.

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

*
We have followed the HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Guidance. We collated activity/usage/consumption data for the reporting year and multiplied those to the emission factors provided [using conversion factors for 2023] to quantify our carbon emissions for Scopes 1 and 2. We have used the location-based method to calculate the company’s emissions from purchased electricity (Scope 2) which uses the grid emission factor published by DEFRA. To set the organisational boundary, the operational control principle was used. For example, emissions from vehicles and assets over which Siddall & Hilton has control regardless of whether they are owned, part-owned, or leased were included. We have also chosen to use two intensity factors which we feel are relevant to the sector we operate in. The first intensity factor is the tonnes of CO2e/FTE and this was 8.339 in 2023. We have chosen this as this is the most used amongst companies operating in the same industry. We have also chosen a company specific intensity factor as we feel this is more relevant to our current operations and our Scope 1 and 2 emissions can be directly attributed to the machine production hours. Our second intensity factor and for which we will be targeting to reduce year on year is the Tonnes of CO2e/production hour. This was 0.068 in 2023.

Value Chain Emissions (optional) *

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

*
No

Supply chain related - upstream emissions

Customer related - downstream emissions

4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?

*
No

4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?

*
Yes

Climate Solutions (optional) *

5.1 Do you classify any of your existing goods and/or services as a climate solution?

*
No

Management, Strategy and Climate Risk (optional) *

6.1 What governance processes do you have in place for your climate strategy? Choose as many as are applicable.

*

Person is responsible for climate strategy at board level

6.1.1 Please describe their position and responsibility.

*
People and Culture Director, responsible for ESG strategy at board level.

6.1.2 Is this person (or another at executive and board level) also responsible for climate risk?

*
Yes

6.2 Have you started to identify and assess your companies climate risks and opportunities?

*
Yes - we have identified both climate risks and opportunities

6.2.1 Where are the climate risks you've identified?

*
Both operations and value chains

6.2.2 How are you managing these climate risks? Choose as many as are applicable.

*

We've not started managing climate risks yet,We've started to prioritise climate risks,We’ve quantified the amount and percentage of assets or businesses activities vulnerable to climate risk,We've Identified plans for adaptation to mitigate these risks

6.2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your climate risks:

*
In line with our vision and mission which is centred around putting our customers at the heart of everything we do, the board are assessing ESG risks, to focus on the issues that are most relevant - or ‘material’ - for our business. In turn, we can then align our resources to activities where we can make the biggest impact. There are a range of dual materiality material topics listed within each of the 3 ESG pillars, which either have an impact ON the business, or the business itself can impact. We are developing a sustainability strategy which is underpinned by the United Nations Global Compact’s principles in the key areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anticorruption. These principles, alongside the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 8, 9 and 12 will guide us. Within the environmental pillar, our biggest climate risks are extreme weather disruption to our operations and value chain, achieving scope 1-3 emissions reductions investments and being prepared for ESG non financial reporting requirements from customers.

6.3 Have you integrated climate and/or nature into your company mission statement or shareholder agreements? If yes, describe how.

*

No

-

6.4 Have you taken actions this year outside of your emissions to accelerate climate progress?

*

Yes

We participated in the Fossil to Clean G7 summit advocacy campaign.

Results, Challenges and Outlook *

7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.

*
Whilst there is no statutory duty to do so, the board believes it has a part to play in the achievement of the West Yorkshire Climate and Environment Plan, which sets out to deliver a net zero carbon region by 2038. Steps taken to date in previous years: -100% of raw material steel is produced by the electric arc method, which uses high-current electric arcs to melt steel scrap and convert it into liquid steel, effectively resulting in 100% recycled steel. Any scrap that is generated is sold back to the steel industry for further re-processing. -We encourage the use in our fencing product range, of Galfan coated steel. Galfan is a highly corrosion resistant coating which extends the working life of a mesh panel to between 50-70 years. -Galfan is a cost effective and environmentally friendly coating process that removes the requirement to hot-dip galvanise products after manufacture, and reduces the energy demand to coat a product. It also minimises the leaching of zinc compounds into the environment. -New panel designs are developed to reduce the amount of steel required, whilst maintaining high strength to weight ratios. This minimises secondary processing requirements, and minimises the environmental impact of onward supply chain transportation. -Modern machinery is used which reduces processed scrap by 65%, compared with older machines, by minimising cross wire and line wire wastage. -Lean methodologies are utilised throughout production processes, with focused measurement of OEE to eliminate waste. -LED lighting with movement sensors are in place throughout the factory, reducing energy consumption. -Installation of high efficiency space heating throughout the factory, replacing inefficient gas heaters previously used.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?
