Lee Venables, Kinovo’s Chief Operating Officer, comments:
As a leading provider of specialist property services in the sector, we work to align our everyday operations with our vision, which is to provide safe and sustainable property solutions and services that protect our customers, benefit the environment and enhance communities in which we work and the lives of our employees. This includes investigating every aspect of our business, including the emissions we are directly responsible for and those that lie in our supply chain, so we can build a better world for future generations.
To achieve this, we have examined our entire value chain and developed our emissions reduction strategy accordingly. Our teams are ensuring that everything we touch, which can have an impact on our carbon footprint, is thoroughly assessed. On an ongoing basis we review all areas of our operations, every stakeholder we work with and the communities we work in, to ensure we’re on track to deliver on our Net Zero goals.
“We have already achieved key reductions in energy, transport, waste, and business travel related emissions. We have done this by increasing our fleet’s access to electric vehicles, switching to LED lighting, installing solar voltaic panels at head office, and making investments in low carbon technologies for heating and electrical power generation. We’re also taking steps towards insulating our buildings, and have reduced unnecessary international travel, which adds to our carbon footprint. Recycling is also top of our agenda, and we are continually examining how we can avoid buying and using single-use items and items that are made from scarce resources, or are difficult to recycle. We have shifted our preference to items that include recycled materials.”
“Kinovo is steadfastly committed to acting as a catalyst for change in our operations and in the communities we serve. We remain focused on achieving our targets while continuing to provide services that enhance people’s living standards through providing sustainable property solutions.”
