IT maintenance specialist Smart CT trials drone deliveries as it sets course for Net Zero

IT MAINTENANCE expert Smart CT is trialling drone deliveries of equipment to customers as part of its drive to greater sustainability.

CEO Andy Morgan said the successful trial, which saw technology devices delivered to a nearby customer from a drone, is being assessed before further trials.

The Reading company provides parts and engineers to maintain, install, replace and repair business-critical IT infrastructure on behalf of IT suppliers who support an extensive range of organisations – from household brands to industrial businesses – in need of connected devices, including networking, servers and other workplace technology.

“From day one we’ve been trying to identify ways we can become more sustainable,” he said. “The drone delivery is just one of those ways because it is not only a more direct means of getting parts to our customers quickly, but it also reduces emissions, fuel consumption and pressure on our road network.

“We learned some important lessons from the trial and we’ll be looking more closely at how we can take this to the next level.”

He said it is just one of many ways in which Smart CT, which was the subject of a management buyout two years ago, is working towards Net Zero by 2045 – five years ahead of the government’s target. During the management buyout due diligence in January 2022 Mr Morgan commission an independent environment, social and governance report to rate its commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices. A follow-up report was carried out last year and Smart CT’s score rose from 34 per cent to 63 per cent. At the current rate of improvement, the company’s score predicted to 71 per cent this year.

Among the measures adopted by the company was the appointment of an ESG manager and an environmental manager who introduced tracking of waste reduction, energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions, staff training to encourage sustainable practices, a review of waste management and working with customers to understand Smart CT’s impact on their sustainability.

The reviewer applauded the company’s work, saying: “This represents the ESG journey in terms of fully integrating ESG into the corporate strategy through regular engagement with all key stakeholders.”

Mr Morgan said: “We decided to take more action two years ago to make ESG a big part of our culture. We asked our staff what they felt and one of the areas they came up with was around our sustainability.

“That showed me that we have got the appetite for change among our staff and management so we are able to make it a central part of our culture and part of our business. We know it’s important for our customers so we’ve commenced the journey.

“We are in the early stages but the latest ESG report shows we’ve doubled our score, which is just fantastic and all credit to the team for doing that. We’ve got some way to go but we’ve still got the appetite with people who are very passionate about enhancing our business.”

He said the company has also been engaging with customers through its satisfaction surveys about their attitudes to sustainability.

“We want to get their feedback because ultimately, the customer is why we operate and what they think is very important. That’s opened up new dialogues about how they’re doing with regard to sustainability, and it’s almost a cross exchange of ideas, which is great. It’s great feedback for us as we evolve our business.”

SEAD Artists consortia unveils programme intended to achieve UK’s first carbon negative flights

A consortia using drone technology to revolutionise how landowners, environmentalists and conservationists manage the UK’s vast peatland carbon sink resources has today unveiled its programme to deliver the UK’s first carbon negative aviation project.

Project “Drone RePeat” was recently awarded £500,000 from Natural England’s Paludiculture Exploration Fund to increase awareness of Paludiculture and carbon sink management through greater use of emerging technologies and new agronomy methods.

With a focus on promoting sustainable land use practices that are environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically viable, the programme seeks to use drones to survey, analyse then precision-spray peatlands to seed Paludiculture crops and monitor irrigation and carbon depletion from the soil. This also creates new ways for landowners to realise value from these difficult-to-manage landscapes.

To scale the project and its carbon negative mandate, SEAD Artists is working closely with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to unlock ultra-low level airspace. The aim is to allow regular airspace access for landowners, asset managers and contractors to use agri-drones and other innovative technologies  in low-level airspace above farmland and peatland.

 

Andrew Sproson, co-founder of Autospray Systems and Project Lead for Project Drone RePeat said: “We’re genuinely excited by the potential drones have to revolutionise the UK’s paludiculture industry. The ability to operate drones over greater distances increases efficiency, creating a framework that allows for scalability and easier drone adoption. This in turn not only enables drone spraying and spreading for current and future peat restoration projects, but crucially enables the creation of a commercial market for lowland land owners across the UK, encouraging wider adoption.

“Preserving England’s largest carbon sink is as important as reducing the speed at which the world’s icebergs are melting – once it has degraded, peatland takes centuries to re-establish, but the crops and moss identified through our trials have been proven to preserve peat and thus contribute towards reducing the benchmark of peat emissions.

 

Gareth Whatmore, project partner and founder of DronePrep, which was the architect of the first real-world drone deliveries in England and Scotland for the NHS and Royal Mail, said: “Peat is England’s single largest carbon store, with 1 million acres of peat soils storing 584m tonnes of carbon – that’s the equivalent of 540 coal-fired power stations!  Peat takes millennia to generate and bogs store 10 times more carbon than forests.

“Degradation and draining mean these peatlands emit around 11 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year so improving their management, or restoring them by rewetting the peat, is a key part of the UK’s Net Zero strategy.

“The challenge for landowners is that growing crops or restoring peatland means the peat soils are wet with high water tables and it is difficult to use existing agricultural machinery, due to its bogging and inaccessible nature.

“Our work has demonstrated that tech solutions, such as the use of drones, can not only help landowners manage their peatland and plant crops to preserve peat stocks but can also support the growing of new, peat-hardy crops that can be manufactured into Net Zero clothing or construction materials.”

 

Most drones are powered by electricity and Drone RePeat’s calculations suggest the potential carbon gains that could be realised by managing this important-but-delicate landscape through reduced peatland degradation, maintenance of large carbon sinks and the commercial exploitation of peat-hardy crops, will effectively make the drone flights enabling this approach carbon negative.

Gareth continued: “To respond to the climate emergency, the Drone RePeat team has also formed a partnership called SEAD Artists to explore how innovative technologies can be applied to future carbon management and climate credit schemes that can bring external investment. One such application outside of the Paludiculture project is focussed on programmes to plant trees via drones at scale. We call on all COP28 delegates and Climate Fund Managers to create a service that allows companies to invest in this technology to match their COP28 objectives and carbon liabilities.”

 

Aleks Kowalski, project manager of Drone RePeat added: “Developing an ecosystem of surveillance, spraying, monitoring and the verifying the data will be crucial to achieving a carbon negative aviation system. SEAD Artists is a consortia built to achieve operations at scale.”

 

Jim Milner, Natural England – Paludiculture Exploration Fund project manager, said: The Paludiculture exploration fund aims to explore new crops and products that can grow on wet peat soils. As Gareth says, this creates challenges in managing those new crops we hope to develop and new solutions are needed. This is where SEAD Artists fits in and it is great to see how the team at Drone RePeat is connecting with the wider Paludiculture community.”

TechMet warns COP28 that the world is facing “structural cliff of undersupply” of critical metals for the clean energy transition

The Chairman and CEO of leading critical minerals investment company, TechMet, has warned the COP28 climate conference that the world is facing a “structural cliff of under supply” for lithium, nickel, cobalt and the critical metals required for the clean energy transition.

TechMet founder Brian Menell’s comments came at the UN Climate Conference COP28 being held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

 

Menell has also been highly critical today about the lack of discussion of critical metals at the heart of the global climate negotiations.

“Even though it is great to be here at COP28 and for critical metals to finally be on the agenda at some events, we are still very much on the fringes of this UN climate conference. Frankly, we should be closer to the heart of the talks because otherwise the world is simply not going to be able to meet our climate change goals,” warned Menell.

 

Earlier this week, TechMet secured a further $50 million commitment from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) as part of its latest fundraising round.

Speaking at a critical minerals fringe event hosted by the Atlantic Council, a non-partisan US think tank, Menell added: “We cannot achieve climate change goals without the metals and mining industry deploying probably an additional $50 billion per year over the next ten years to build supply and processing of the minerals going into batteries, electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. At the moment, we are not doing it.

“Our industry needed to deploy $100 billion in critical minerals production and processing three or four years ago, to avoid the structural cliff of under supply for lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earth metals that is now almost unavoidable in the next three or four years.

“The implications of our ongoing failure to adequately scale production to meet the acceleration of demand are very considerable.”

COP 28: Sustainability disclosures are pivotal in driving climate action

Leading global organisations – ACCA, IOSCO, IFAC and ISSB – call for action to meet market demands for climate-related reporting disclosures at COP28

At COP28, four leading global bodies have called for concerted action to ensure sustainability reporting can help provide better information for those driving climate action across the business world.

They underlined the potential and importance of a global approach to sustainability reporting standards in enabling decision-making and in channelling more equitable investment.

With the introduction of international sustainability standards from the ISSB – coming into effect in 2024 providing a widely supported reporting baseline – global bodies called for a focus on achieving adoption across the world through the development of skills, capacity and the sharing of knowledge.

 

Panellists at Sustainability disclosures driving climate action  representing ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) highlighted the importance of this approach in meeting the demands of capital markets.

 

The event also heard of the importance of:

  • ensuring sustainability corporate reporting avoids green washing;
  • having maximum harmony between international and national standards; and
  • building capacity so preparers and users of reporting have the skills and the knowledge required.

 

The accountancy profession has a critical role to play in climate action, both to lead long-term value creation within sustainable economies, and to champion responsible practices in the public interest.

At the event in the ICC Pavilion in the Blue Zone on Monday 4 December, Helen Brand, Chief Executive, ACCA, said: ‘Consistent and comparable sustainability reporting will drive change and unlock new opportunities not only for businesses, but for the investor community and other stakeholders.

The accountancy profession has a central role in harnessing these new standards to drive positive action to combat climate change, to help create a better, more sustainable world.’

 

Since 2019, IFAC has been working diligently to advocate for international sustainability standards, including calling for the formation of the ISSB. Asmaa Resmouki, President of IFAC, said: ‘On behalf of my colleagues at IFAC, we are delighted to be able to leverage our significant convening power to bring together the most important stakeholders – including especially the global accountancy profession – to help drive demonstrable climate action.

‘We will continue our support of the development, adoption and implementation of the ISSB’s standards by professional accountants globally, and we welcome the role and responsibility that professional accountants have in this endeavour.’

 

Participation in COP28 is part of a broader effort from the global accountancy profession to engage with the United Nations. IFAC is an official observer organization to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Edwin James Group cuts carbon footprint by 10%

In its most recent Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report released today, leading engineering services provider Edwin James Group reported a 10% reduction in its Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions and reaffirmed its long-term commitment to its ESG ambitions.

In line with its aim to source all energy needs from renewable sources, more than 90% of Edwin James’s office electricity requirements have come from renewables in the last financial year. Energy reduction efforts across multiple sites have removed 55 tonnes of CO2e through reduced gas and electricity consumption, representing an 18% decrease from the previous year.

Outside of the office environment, over 35% of company cars are now fully electric. To accelerate the move to a greener fleet, the company recently ran a pilot programme to start the replacement of around 70 diesel vans with eco-friendly alternatives – this was the initial step towards electrifying the entire vehicle fleet.

 

Christopher Kehoe, CEO of Edwin James Group, said: “As a group, we believe that our success should not only be measured by financial achievements but also by the positive impact we make on the world around us.

“Our path towards 2030 continues to drive our efforts to become a more responsible company and to work with suppliers and customers who share our vision. Our commitment to our environmental goals and advancement towards net zero remains a key driver for the entire business. As does the promotion of safe and healthy work practices coupled with providing development opportunities at every level.”

 

At the heart of the Edwin James Group is the development of people and the strategy to nurture home-grown talent from “apprentice to boardroom”. In 2023, the group opened its third purpose-built EJ Academy training facility focussed on developing digital skills.

40% Of UK Businesses And Organisations Have No Emissions Plan In Place, New Report Reveals

  • 40% of UK businesses and organisations lack a plan to reduce business related carbon emissions, despite the ongoing climate emergency, says new research.
  • The new research report, conducted by ACCA, IFAC and PwC, sheds light on the urgent need for a strategic approach and transition plan to tackle climate change.

40% of UK businesses and organisations have no plan in place to reduce business related carbon emissions despite the climate emergency, as revealed in a new report from leading financial professional bodies.

As world leaders gather for COP28, ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), IFAC (the International Federation of Accountants) and professional services firm PwC (Pricewaterhouse Coopers) have released a new report: The role of the CFO and finance function in the climate transition: Driving value and sustainability.

In the recent survey, research reveals that almost half of UK respondents (40%) have yet to produce a plan for reducing their carbon emissions that result from business activity. Alarmingly, nearly 70% of those respondents without an emissions plan say they currently have no intention of developing one.

 

The survey data indicates that there is a need among businesses to educate and implement when it comes to emissions plans which should form part of a wider sustainability-first approach to business. While finance teams may not always be the ‘owner’ of the sustainability agenda, in many organisations this role is increasingly falling to the CFO. Ensuring they are equipped with the right tools to evaluate and implement effective sustainability strategies for their business is vital to the long-term economic success if businesses are to thrive in a world of climate change.

 

Lloyd Powell, head of ACCA Cymru Wales, said: “The survey data revealed in this report perhaps suggests challenges in awareness of the importance of transition planning, rather than a deliberate choice not to engage with sustainable planning. Finance professionals can play a vital role in supporting sustainability plans through their reporting functions, and in helping make sound decisions for future investment in green business decisions.

“In a week when the Welsh Economy Minister announced just transition and green prosperity as one of the four priorities for the Welsh economy, this report highlights the work to be done in engaging finance professionals in all sectors to understand the role they can play in this process which can make a huge difference in green decisions for the future.”

 

Helen Brand OBE, chief executive of ACCA, said: “The accountancy and finance profession can enable organisations to achieve their net zero ambitions in a fair and inclusive way. They can also support the just transition to a low-carbon economy by helping their organisations to seize the associated business benefits. As COP28 begins, this report is a call to action for professional accountants everywhere to play their part in helping their organisations to reduce their carbon emissions and support the climate transition.”

 

Asmaa Resmouki, president of IFAC, commented: “The expertise of accounting and finance professionals in combatting climate change is absolutely essential if we are to make the progress the planet so desperately needs.

“This report corroborates IFAC’s prior research into corporate disclosures on emissions targets and transition plans for achieving them. Companies need to improve the decision-usefulness of their transition plans and how they communicate them to stakeholders.”

 

David Russell, finance transformation leader, PwC, added: “This report highlights a critical gap where some businesses lack a clear roadmap to meet their emissions targets and the ability to measure and report progress against their goals. It’s imperative for finance leaders not just to drive the change towards sustainability but also to build trust in the reporting of progress towards sustainability goals.

“CFOs can play a pivotal role in integrating environmental considerations into strategy, planning and reporting – ensuring that businesses not only contribute positively to the climate agenda but also adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing economic landscape.”

For CFOs themselves, balancing the short-term operational priorities of the finance team whilst simultaneously upskilling and equipping the team to support the wider organisation’s net zero initiatives must now be a critical imperative. The research recommends that finance teams need to develop the right skills and expertise in this area of green finance and sustainability reporting for clarity and insight into a business’ green transition plans.

Advantage Utilities supports net zero progress and energy savings for businesses through Carbon Reporting and Bureau Service

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it – and therefore can’t reduce it”

The Climate Change Act 2008 (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019 mandates that organisations must reach net-zero by 2050. In recent years, businesses have become acutely aware of the need to focus on their progress towards net-zero and many are exploring carbon reporting and bureau service as a result, not least because of increasing expectations of reporting activities within supply chains and for their customers.

A recent survey revealed that 82% businesses in the UK have set targets to reach net-zero before 2050; however a lack of data around their operations has contributed to stifled progress.

Carbon reporting provides businesses with the ability to measure, report and monitor their carbon footprint. This service provides detailed insight into a business’ energy use, highlighting what improvements can be made to reduce carbon output and offset emissions, as well as making energy savings through reducing consumption of pollutive non-renewables such as grid-sourced energy.

 

Paul Rekhi, Head of Carbon Services at Advantage Utilities, commented that: “Carbon reporting is so essential to enabling progress towards net-zero. Because if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it and therefore can’t reduce it! That’s why we offer this service to our clients, who have been able to leverage it to not only reduce emissions, but also to reduce their energy bills and safeguard their reputation too.” 

 

Achieving certification of carbon neutrality is a growing asset for businesses, yet research from the British Chambers of Commerce shows that fewer than one in 10 SMEs in the UK fully understand what the net-zero target means for them.

Businesses using a bureau service can have additional confidence in their energy bills because of its use of bill validation, automatically highlighting billing errors in the process by carrying out 100 checks via the bureau service system – making energy savings where overpayments have occurred. Monthly reports are also produced on factors such as consumption, bills and carbon emissions, accessible through an online portal.

 

“Using a bureau service is crucial to measuring current bills and ensuring that no irregularities occur – and these are surprisingly common. By using carbon reporting in combination with this, businesses can better understand their needs and energy use so that bespoke solutions can be implemented, thereby maximising carbon offsetting and reduction. Through a carbon reporting platform, businesses gain insight into their scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and facilitate supply chain reporting to plan, track and report their GHG emissions and their progress towards net-zero. Businesses must collaborate with their supply chain to tackle the most significant and complex part of its carbon footprint, however,” adds Rekhi.

 

Rekhi concludes, stating that: “Using both a bureau service and carbon reporting enhances working relationships with key retailer customers and suppliers, improves stakeholder engagement, fostering carbon neutrality and cost efficiencies in the process. These two services are also the most important tools for businesses in achieving net-zero.”
