Here is how we supported Stocksigns Ltd create positive social and environmental change...
Stocksigns Ltd is the leading UK manufacturer and supplier of health and safety signs, custom made signs and signage accessories, having spent over 60 years at the forefront of signage innovation. The Managing Director of Stocksigns Ltd approached Comply Direct with a need to accelerate their carbon management strategy, amidst the pressure from investors and customers that all businesses are now facing, and a desire to create positive social and environmental change.
Stocksigns Ltd is committed to protecting our planet by reducing emissions. Therefore, as their sustainability partner, Comply Direct conducted a carbon footprint assessment, looking at their Scope 1, Scope 2 and selected Scope 3 emissions, with the aim of setting a baseline and targets towards achieving reductions in emissions over time. Through understanding their Carbon footprint, Stocksigns Ltd were then able to progress on their carbon journey and purchased Verified Carbon Standard Offsets through Comply Direct to take responsibility for their residual emissions. The carbon offsetting projects available also hold a variety of biodiversity, social and renewable technology benefits, creating the perfect foundations for Stocksigns as they now begin to look into Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG). After initial discussions, in which we took the time to understand the business and their unique challenges, Stocksigns Ltd were in no doubt that our inhouse specialists would guide them through this process and bring meaningful value to their organisation.
Comply Direct calculated Stocksigns Ltd’s carbon footprint to the internationally recognized GHG Protocol Standard including scope 1, scope 2 and selected scope 3 emissions and also carried out an virtual energy audit to highlight recommendations for improvement which involved a variety of areas. A comprehensive carbon footprint report was them produced including analysis of energy and carbon footprint data and a list of detailed recommendations and next steps broken down by type and cost. Finally, as a mean to take responsibility for residual emission, whilst working on reducing the footprint, Stocksigns purchase verified carbon offsets and planted UK trees alongside these offsets across school grounds, parks, farms and woodlands.
“Comply Direct were recommended to us by a trusted supplier. We had a need to progress our Carbon stance, but as an SME we were nervous as to how this may manifest itself. From the outset, all our fears were dispelled as the service, support and execution of a Carbon Plan were professionally managed. We have since engaged their services to support our CSR/ ESG programme and once again have been delighted with the way in which they take on the challenge. I would be delighted to endorse Comply Direct on any platform.”
