Rhino has made a commitment to the environment to offset our Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions to help limit global warming and climate change due to the effects of our day to day operations.
In the UK, businesses account for over 85% of total greenhouse gas emissions - making corporate action the number one priority in helping stop climate change. Looking to do our part for the environment, we engaged with Carbon Neutral Britain in March 2024, with the ambition to measure and offset our total organisation emissions - to become Carbon Neutral.
We have partnered with Carbon Neutral Britain to help us to gather the data and information, to calculate our carbon footprint, to produce a Carbon Emissions Report, and for them to certify our Ellesmere Port site as a Carbon Neutral Britain site. By identifying and monitoring our carbon emissions we are able to actively target future plans to make reductions with the aim of net zero across all our sites. In the meantime we are making a financial contribution to offset our previous emissions and help limit our environmental impact.
We have decided to offset the CO₂ emissions produced as part of Rhino Products normal business operations, utilizing 2023 as our first complete base year. Many carbon emissions from businesses are currently ‘unavoidable’ and cannot be mitigated immediately. IPCC studies have highlighted the importance of businesses making a difference in the next 5 years before changes to climate are irreversible, and so by Carbon Offsetting, we are doing our part for the planet now - when it is most important.
