Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Chubb Fire & Security is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Current Emissions Reporting

*Scope 2 Renewable Electricity & Gas for UK Locations. Market based calculations adjusted accordingly.

** Scope 3 – Category 5 (Waste Generated in Operations), Category 6 (Business Travel) and Category 7 (Employee Commuting) have been included in our scope 3 calculations which has resulted in an increase from baseline and previous year.

Categories 4 (Upstream Transportation and Distribution), and 9 (Downstream Transportation and Distribution) have been excluded as data is not currently available as there are currently no mechanisms in place to account for this data.

We will work with relevant stakeholders (internal and external) to develop these mechanisms and implement procedures which enable the obtainment of all Scope 3 Categories with a road map to provide all by 2028. Where category data is available before this time we will include and declare.

Emission Reduction Targets

To continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that our CO2 will decrease to 4,378.35282 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 50%

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2019 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equates to 2,020.1606906 tCO2e, a 23% reduction against the 2019 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.

• Purchase of Electricity through renewable sources for UK locations, 2023, REGO Certified
• Purchase of Gas through renewable sources for UK locations from 01-04-24, RGGO Certified
• EV & Hybrid fleet. 280 Hybrid Vehicles now in Engineers Fleet, replacing diesel engines. All nonEngineers only have EVor
• Hybrid as a vehicle option as traditional diesel and petrol is phased out of the fleet.
• Employee Sustainable Commuting Programme (Supported by 3rd Party Investment (Mobilityways) which incudes Car Share App, Sustainable Commuting Programmes (Walking and Cycling) and the encouraged use of Public Transport.
• Waste Management Programme to reduce waste and enable Carbon Accounting
• Implementation of digital meeting platforms (Teams / Zoom)
• Carbon Offset on Travel & Accommodation (Trees 4 Travel) – 50% of travel is offset with tree planting and renewable energy scheme investments.
• Property portfolio reduction
• Flexible & Hybrid working
• ISO 14001 certification across all business streams
• Zero to landfill waste management at selected locations
• PPE and Workwear Returns Scheme at pilot phase so that colleagues can return used items to be recycled rather than entering traditional waste streams.
• Traditional Clothing Workwear and High Visibility Clothing being phased out and replaced with items made from recycled materials. Polo Shirt, T-Shirt and High Vis Vest first to launch.

The “ERU” Extinguisher or Environmental Recycling Unit operates from the Hams Hall Distribution centre and processes on average 1100 extinguishers a day. 100% of the extinguisher can be recycled into either a renovated extinguisher or broken down and all the parts reused or reprocessed into something else. The remaining small components are used in Waste Energy Recovery.

  At Chubb, we review our Logistics Operations in line with any wider operational changes to the organisation. This is to ensure that we optimise logistics routes in support of GHG reduction. Hams Hall in the Midlands is our current National Distribution Centre and has been mapped against a potential alternative Blackburn location closer to our operational UK HQ. The data showed that the central location is the most optimum to run our national operations. In addition, our 3^rd party logistics provider ensures optimum load utilisation using a dedicated mapping software.
