Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Clonallon Laboratories Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
Clonallon Laboratories Ltd has not previously assessed or reported emissions, Clonallon Laboratories Ltd first reporting period is defined as the Baseline.
Emissions reduction targets
For Clonallon Laboratories Ltd to continue our progress in achieving Net Zero by 2050, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:
• We pledge that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 411.72 tCO2e by 2027. This is a reduction of 18% from our baseline emissions.
• We pledge that carbon emissions will decrease over the next ten years to 322.22 tCO2e by 2032. This is a reduction of 36% from our baseline emissions
• We pledge to halve our carbon emission by 2036.
2023-2024 Progress Review
Our progress against our carbon reduction target is promising and demonstrates that we are on track to meet our commitments.
We recognize that achieving reductions is often more straightforward in the initial years as low-hanging opportunities are addressed; however, we fully anticipate that these efforts will become more challenging over time.
Despite this, we remain committed to continuing the work required and will actively pursue the action points outlined below. By maintaining momentum and focus, we aim to overcome future challenges and sustain meaningful progress toward our long-term goals.
2024-2025 Progress Review
Our progress during the 2024–2025 reporting period reflects continued, steady advancement against our carbon reduction targets. While no significant new initiatives were introduced during this period, we have successfully maintained and embedded the measures implemented in previous years, ensuring consistent performance improvements across key emission areas. Total emissions reduced from 471.25 tCO₂e in 2024 to 461.65 tCO₂e in 2025.
Emissions data indicates a further reduction in total tCO₂e, demonstrating that our existing strategies remain effective. This sustained downward trend confirms that we are progressing in line with our projected trajectory toward Net Zero.
We recognise that much of the early progress has been driven by the implementation of foundational efficiency measures. As these actions become fully integrated into daily operations, further reductions will increasingly depend on more complex and potentially resource-intensive interventions. Despite this, we remain confident that maintaining discipline in our current practices, alongside identifying future opportunities, will enable continued progress.
Our focus over the coming period will be to:
• Consolidate and optimise the impact of existing carbon reduction measures
• Monitor performance closely to ensure continued alignment with reduction targets
• Identify and evaluate additional opportunities for emissions reduction as operational and technological options evolve
Overall, the 2024–2025 period demonstrates stable and reliable progress, reinforcing our commitment to achieving our long-term Net Zero objectives.
Carbon Reduction Projects
As part of our climate commitments, we have begun to implement a wide range of projects and initiatives with further activities planned and getting underway. Here are some of the projects currently active:
Sustainable office buildings:
- Full installation of energy-efficient L.E.D lighting.
- Switching existing computers and laptops to more energy efficient models.
- Ensuring lighting and power supplies are switched off when not in use.
- Installation of energy efficient water heaters to remove the use of kettles.
Reducing business travel emissions:
- Using energy-efficient methods of transport such as a train instead of car.
- Encouraging stakeholders to engage in virtual meetings when possible.
- Reducing the frequency & number of staff on overseas business trips when possible.
- Engaging in virtual rather than physical expedition opportunities.
Reducing paper use:
- Movement to a cloud based QMS and finance system, significantly reducing printing and physical filing requirements by up to 60%.
- Introducing a ‘think before you print’ policy for all employees.
Staff Commuting:
- Reducing staff travel by encouraging working from home when possible.
- Holding virtual staff meetings.
- Encouraging the use of environmentally friendly vehicles by providing information on the benefits on electric and hybrid vehicles to employees.
Office recycling:
- Introduction of recycling bins to allow separation of waste into paper, plastic and food.
- Removal of personal bins to encourage re-cycling.
