Impellam Group

Our strategy of increasing resilience by investing in technology has enabled us to embed new ways of working within the business which has seen our Scope 1 travel emissions reduce by 35% despite an easing of travel restrictions from 2022.

At the end of February 2022 the Group launched an Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme which will see all existing ICE powered fleet vehicles being removed from the fleet at the expiry of their lease and a highly incentivised fully EV option being introduced in its place which will be offered instead of the provision of a company vehicle. Additionally, the scheme will be available to all UK staff and not just those who previously qualified for a company vehicle or vehicle allowance. It is anticipated that at least 60% of existing ICE powered vehicles provided by the Group will be removed during 2021 with the balance being removed by the end of 2023.

To further support the initiative, we shall be installing 18 vehicle charging points at our Head Office. Additionally, the Group has completed its switch to purchasing 100% renewable electricity for all of its UK operations in October 2021.

We continued planned capital investment, for example replacing all lighting at our Head Office with efficient LEDs. This will be saving 159,500KwH and approximately 21 tCO2e annually as identified in ESOS Stage 2 reporting. We have also completed the roll-out of smart printers across the estate.

All new and existing colleagues have been required to undertake mandatory environmental awareness training since the start of 2021.

Managing a continued reduction in Group travel through a mixture of incentives, travel levies and technology-supported hybrid working and collaboration. Working with our technology vendors on their own journey to Net Zero, to ensure that the products we purchase for resale do not increase our carbon footprint. Most of our technology vendors are among the global leaders in the industry and share our commitment to Net Zero.

Working with our wider supply chains to ensure they are aligned to our 2040 target and hence reducing emissions in areas such as transportation. Utilisation of our Circular Services operations to avoid carbon consumption with the reuse of technology assets and extraction of raw materials through redeployment, remarketing and recycling. Widening the adoption of our Circular Services portfolio with our customers, to enhance their carbon avoidance.

Continued investment in renewable energy, self-generating power solutions and reducing consumption through both implementing better technology products in our own environment and enhancing the efficiency of our facilities
