This will help to reduce our carbon emissions to meet our net-zero emissions target by 2030 and help fight climate change. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The move to install solar panels at the company's head office and production plant in Nottinghamshire UK will support Anpario's strategy to reduce the impact of its global operation on the environment, thus enabling them to meet their ambition of net-zero for scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The £274,000 photovoltaic installation will commence in December 2021, with energy from the sun harnessed to power the plant from early 2022. It is anticipated that the installation will generate one third of the current onsite annual energy consumption, equating to a 43% reduction in carbon emissions. The balance of the onsite electricity will continue to be purchased from the grid from renewable energy sources, which have already been adopted as part of our overall drive to reduce carbon emissions. In addition, at times when the solar panels generate more electricity than is used on site, the excess will be exported to the national grid and used locally in homes and businesses reducing the overall reliance on fossil fuels.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The initiative follows significant investment in recent years implementing bulk supply, automation and packaging solutions to reduce energy consumption, the impact of transportation and to minimise waste.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Anpario's ambition is to reach net-zero within our own operational footprint by 2030, this includes all scope 1 and 2 emissions as well as scope 3 emissions from business travel. The solar installation will contribute significantly to meeting this target and sustain our continued requirement for operational growth to meet increasing sales demand. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n With innovative specialist feed addit...
