FACTS ON CO2 EMISSIONS

The effects of CO2 on the enviroment - Why do we need to reduce it?

There is a growing consenus that climate change, also known as global warming, is becoming the greatest threat to our enviroment. It is caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases, which trap the Sun's energy within the atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases inclue carbon dioxide which is produced every time we use energy from fossil fuels - oil, coal and natural gas. With businesses producing also most half of the UK's carbon emissions - their impact is huge.

It is estimated that the heating industry alone i responsible for over 110 million tonnes of CO2 emissions every year. We have a social responsibility to set a standard in our industry for the reduction in emissions across the whole supply chain for every single unit we produce along its full life cycle.

The increase in our planet's temperature has alread caused seas to rise, making floods more frequent and severe. And as the temperature gets hotter, it's predicted that we'll see moe extreme weather - with wetter winters and drier summers.
