Supporting sustainability goals

Less impact on the planet

Since 2008, we've decreased our carbon footprint by 89%.

But we know there's more to do.

Reaching our Carbon Net Zero goals requires every single department to work together. A unified approach across the business has led to great progress such as diverting almost all our waste from landfills and exclusively purchasing renewable energy across our premises and operations.

Our operations

We're switching to renewable electricity, cutting down on waste, and boosting our recycling efforts. We're also upgrading our company vehicles to low or zero-emission models, conserving water, and using biodegradable cleaning products for our bus shelters.

These changes help us reduce maintenance, site visits, and paper use.

Transforming our estate

We're putting up new recyclable bus shelters, adding Living Roofs, and installing solar-powered courtesy lighting. Our latest digital screens are 50% more energy-efficient and we were the first in the industry to widely use LED tubes in Adshel Classic panels, cutting CO2 emissions by 60%.

All are aimed at promoting biodiversity and reducing energy usage.

Our premises

We've installed LED lights in our offices and depots, set up rainwater collection systems, and launched green initiatives for our staff to reduce paper use and printing.

We also purchase renewable energy for our premises.*

*100% renewable energy we purchase for use in all CCUK premises and street furniture is purchased from suppliers using the National Grid and certified by those suppliers’ Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin, matching electricity bought with the equivalent amount from renewable sources.

Beyond our operations and estate

We've been spearheading environmental initiatives in the communities in which we operate, investing in eco projects that make a difference, from Vertical Meadows to Edible Playgrounds, volunteering to improve the environment, and supporting the vital work of our charity partners.

Our roadmap to Carbon Net Zero

Our dedication to sustainability aligns with both global and industry-specific initiatives.

We regularly undergo independent verification and openly share our progress annually in our sustainability roadmap.

We want to be transparent and honest about the progress we're making. It's why you can trust us.
