Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) has announced its commitment to reducing emissions with a view to becoming a net zero business by 2050. On the company’s new corporate social responsibility website, Domino has outlined an ambitious carbon reduction plan, including targets to achieve carbon neutrality across scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 25% reduction in scope 3 emissions by 2030, based on 2022 levels. The plan also aims for net zero by 2050.
“The United Nations reports that it is critical to cut emissions in half by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change,” says Jessica Büttner, Group Environmental Impact Manager, Domino. “To help meet these targets, the whole supply chain must work together. We recognise the impact our business has on the environment and our global manufacturing and print service customers, and we are committed to reducing our impact in line with the UN’s targets.
Domino’s carbon reduction plan focuses on reducing direct scope 1 and 2 emissions across all manufacturing and logistics processes. This includes the use of solar power and renewable energy reducing air freight, optimising transport and logistics, and implementing internal waste reduction activities. Scope 3 reductions focus on improving product design and development by increasing the use of recycled, renewable, and low-carbon materials, enhancing product efficiency, and developing reliable solutions aimed at helping customers to combat manufacturing waste.
As part of Domino’s carbon reduction plan, direct emission reductions will be prioritised in all cases, with any residual emissions offset through carbon offset projects or carbon technologies for residuals in 2050.
“We are very pleased to announce our carbon reduction plan and environmental goals and look forward to working with our customers and supply chain partners to achieve net zero by 2050,” says Jessica Büttner, Group Environmental Impact Manager, Domino. “Our aspirations may seem ambitious, but we must take this responsibility and commit to this positive progress. In doing so, we will ensure that we can continue to serve our customers and the communities in which we operate and make Domino a great place to work for our committed and invaluable workforce.”
