Sharron Hind (previously Lowrie) QHSE Manager for EMI said “As a company we have recently implemented our carbon off setting programme to mitigate our carbon emissions. Initially reducing energy consumption within the Laughton Lane Control Panel Workshop, the programme has been extended to tree planting, with each tree offsetting 1 tonne of CO2e over a 40 year period, Phase 1 aims to mitigate 120 tonnes of CO2e, in partnership with E4Environment. The UVDB B2 Verify Audit involved a two assessment, one day office based reviewing the management system and one day site based reviewing how these systems are implemented on site.
