Optima acknowledge the UK declaration of a climate emergency. As a business, we truly believe we can make a difference and are fully behind our ambition to be operationally Net Zero Carbon by 2030. By taking brave and forward thinking actions we can play our part in delivering a sustainable future.
Optima in the UK has committed to reduce our scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, and to measure and reduce scope 3 emissions. This near-term target, adopted via the streamlined approach for SMEs, is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is part of our strategy to achieve full Net Zero status by 2050.

Our NZC Strategy considers the journey we must go on to meet our ambitious goals. Looking to 2030 and beyond we have set strategy reviews every 3 years and developed an action plan covering the first phase. Initially focussing on our operational scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, we intend to include selected scope 3 emissions in our reporting from phase two. We shall minimise energy use through the adoption of energy efficiency and operational changes before considering any form of offsetting and shall follow recognised accounting and reporting standards.
As part of our strategy, we have switched to a number of electric and hybrid vans, helping us to drive down our emissions and achieve our environmental goals. We have also now installed electric charging points at our UK manufacturing facility near Bath.
We are proud to say that we procure 100% REGO-backed renewable electricity for our Head Office in High Wycombe and manufacturing facility near Bath. Therefore, all the electricity we use at these two sites is sourced from solely UK renewable generation sources.
