The company, which reported on its pro-rated carbon reduction results for the period between 1 Jan 2020 - 31 Dec 2020, has been especially commended on its waste, travel, procurement, water, social value, engagement and communication business impacts - supporting seven of the UN’s sustainable development goals.
BM achieved the 26% absolute carbon reduction from 2019-2020, meaning a decrease of 72.8 tCO2e total carbon footprint for its support office, which is 1.1 tCO2w total carbon footprint per employee. The independent caterer has committed to a greater than 5% reduction on its journey to net zero.
Ian Thomas, chief executive of BM, said: “We remain as committed as ever to mitigate our impact to the planet by measuring and monitoring our impact which helps us to drive carbon savings going forward. Whilst the challenges of the last few years have been clear for all to see, we have maintained our focus on sustainability and do what we can to improve our social value as a business and individuals.
“We are exceptionally proud of the lengths our teams have gone to, not just in the reporting period, but before and after, and are delighted to be able to celebrate some of these within our latest CSER report.”
