Mannok has published its sustainability strategy, the Mannok 2030 Vision, which sets out a roadmap for the company to escalate its sustainability drive for the rest of the decade and position itself to achieve net zero carbon by 2050.
The strategy sets out a series of ambitious targets for the company, centered around three key pillars of People, Planet and
Partners, which will see significant investment and innovation in
each of these core elements in the coming years.
The plans will build on Mannok’s successes in recent years, a time when sustainability has become a priority in every area of the organisation, and the company has gained recognition in the form of multiple awards for its work with the community and educational institutions, as well as its innovation in safety management and ongoing work with biodiversity.
CEO, Liam McCaffrey, explains, “The publication of our Mannok 2030 Vision is a watershed moment for our business and our employees as we significantly accelerate the progress we’ve made in recent years to transition our carbon intensive business to a more sustainable path.
We have had a very successful number of years in terms of improving the business, increasing profitability, investment and employment. As a result, the business is economically sustainable, and we must now build on this for the years ahead.
I am very proud of our many achievements to date, but there is a clear and collective understanding here at Mannok that we must do more; we have a moral obligation to do everything in our power to off-set the worst effects of three of the global crises we are all facing – climate change, biodiversity loss and the pollution of our environment.”
Alongside the decarbonisation efforts, biodiversity and resource efficiency are identified as priorities for the company, with 15 planet-centric targets set out in its strategy.
Working with suppliers and customers, the company will also seek to decarbonise its supply chain, focusing on scope three emissions and responsible procurement, whilst ensuring full transparency on the carbon footprint of its products through voluntary disclosure. Mannok has committed to attaining internationally recognised best practice standards and establishing a programme of sustainable innovation to bring lower carbon products to its customers.
