REFRIGERANTS
Environmental management systems. This campaign’s foundational principles are:
Q Targeting zero - encompassing our dedica- tion to stay safe, protect our environment and prevent emissions to the atmosphere.
Q Zero harm – striving for zero harm in all we do so we can all go home after work in the same condition as we arrived.
Q Zero leaks – committing to targeting zero leaks to the atmosphere to protect each oth- er and the environment we all share.
Q Zero carbon – striving to work towards a zero carbon footprint at all our locations across the A-Gas group by reducing our emissions as much as possible and offsetting what cannot be reduced.
We are taking a series of measures within A-Gas to ensure that these commitments do happen. This includes assessing our company- wide carbon footprint to measure and manage direct and indirect emissions based on the widely accepted Greenhouse Gas Protocol accounting standards. All our measurements will be independently verified and used as a benchmark to set the standard for continuous improvement.
We are also planning to measure emissions by including product lifecycle assessments on our substantial range of circular economy sourced, reclaimed gases. This includes collecting waste and re-using it in an economically and environmentally efficient way. When alternatives are needed, we are committed to using the most efficient, UN- approved technology to destroy materials that no longer have a use. Our end-of-life service prevents the material from being vented and causing harm to our planet. Milestones have been reached already. As a result of our reclamation and destruction policies and practices, we prevented the release of the equivalent of 7.7 million metric tons of CO2e last year alone. That is equal to 1.6 million cars removed from the road for a whole year.
As part of our environmental services
offering, A-Gas develops and issues customised carbon offsets from the recovery and reclamation of refrigerants. This displaces the need to produce virgin HFC refrigerants and successfully complements our near decade of experience in the
production of compliance carbon offsets from the destruction of harmful CFCs and in doing so lowering CO2e emissions. Our commitment to the circular economy and our low carbon policies and practices is why A-Gas is looking ahead to next year and the years ahead with optimism. There are challenges on the horizon for the industry but by following the low carbon route and adopting the opposite to the take, make and dispose business model, A-Gas is in a good place to face the future with confidence.
