Read about our journey to Carbon Neutral

Our vision

Our products are built for tomorrow and we’re focused on protecting tomorrow in the way we work. As such, we’re positioning ourselves to have the most environmentally friendly supply chain to the building services industry.

We’re always forward-thinking and constantly strive to improve the industries we serve and make our industry better. If we can achieve this, we will play a part in improving the environment and ensuring a prosperous future for the planet.

You can see our ambitions in our strapline “Built for Tomorrow”, which highlights the future focus of what we do and how we do it. To get there, we had to transform – one of the most important stages was to transform into a carbon neutral organisation.

Aligning our efforts with UN Sustainable Development Goals

We made the decision to align our sustainability initiatives to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), to help up further identify our priorities for action going forward.

Good Health and Well-being

Internal review of our facilities and introduce regular initiatives to improve staff care

Gender Equality

Promote gender equality and remove any barriers to any jobs across our organisation

Clean Water and Sanitation

Improve across all our global touch points, including through Brymec Foundation

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Work as a sustainable supply chain partner, providing sustainable mechanical solutions to buildings

Responsible Consumption and Production

Continuously work to further reduce waste, consume less packaging, and increase recycling

Climate Action

Become carbon neutral and seek out carbon offsets

Partnerships for the Goals

Ensure we reach neutrality and set a new goal to go beyond with a carbon reduction company

Getting the carbon neutral process started

We began by commissioning an independent audit of our greenhouse gas emissions against the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064-1. After working out our emission levels with our auditors, we identified the steps we needed to take to become carbon neutral and set a target date.

Our supply chain model gave us the perfect platform.

Our innovative Brymec Breeze supply chain model means we are involved in considerably less product movement than our competitors who retain a traditional model. In turn, this lessens the environmental footprint of our supply chain. The only warehouse our products will pass through is our own.

Our FORS Silver accreditation reflects our commitment to operating a safer, more efficient and environmentally responsible fleet. By monitoring fuel consumption and emissions and driving continuous improvement, we ensure our operations support more sustainable delivery across every project.

Carbon neutral certification

In June 2022, Brymec Ltd achieved certification as a Carbon Neutral business for the first time, successfully achieving it every year since.

We see this not as the end of a process, but the beginning of a long-term commitment to reducing our environmental impact and supporting a more sustainable future.

Our carbon assessment is conducted in line with DEFRA guidelines and includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 emissions (3.3, 3.6 and 3.8), ensuring a transparent and comprehensive view of our impact.

To measure our progress against defined benchmarks, we carry out annual environmental audits. We have also launched a staff Environmental Champions programme, empowering our team to monitor our performance, maintain our Carbon Neutral status, and drive continuous improvement across the business.
