Carbon Reduction Policy

Mechanical Removals & Installations Ltd (MRI Ltd)

 

1. Purpose

This policy sets out MRI Ltd’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and operating in a manner that supports the transition to a low-carbon economy.

As a specialist contractor delivering lifting, transport and installation services, MRI Ltd recognises that operational planning, fleet activity and project delivery contribute to carbon emissions. This policy explains how those impacts are measured, managed and reduced.

MRI Ltd is committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to continually improving environmental performance across all areas of the business.

This policy aligns with:

• UK Government Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21 (PPN 006)

• The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Standard

• The UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework (where applicable)

• Relevant UK environmental legislation

 

2. Scope

This policy applies to all MRI Ltd operations within the United Kingdom, including:

• Head office and administrative functions

• Warehousing and storage facilities

• Lifting, transport and installation operations

• Company-owned vehicles, plant and equipment

• Project delivery across all sites

The policy addresses:

• Scope 1 emissions – direct emissions from fuel use, plant and fleet

• Scope 2 emissions – emissions from purchased electricity

• Scope 3 emissions – indirect emissions across the value chain, including logistics, materials and supply partners

 

3. Responsibilities

Responsibility for implementation and oversight of this policy is defined as follows:

• Managing Director
  Overall accountability for carbon reduction strategy, targets and performance

• Management Team
  Responsible for integrating carbon reduction measures into planning, operations and project delivery

• Appointed Persons (APs) & Operational Leads
  Responsible for planning lifting operations efficiently to minimise unnecessary movements, duplication and associated emissions

• Employees and Operatives
  Required to follow operational controls, including efficient driving practices, no-idling requirements and energy awareness
