CHSA publishes carbon emission
calculation guidance The Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) has published guidance for members on how to calculate and report their carbon emissions.
It includes a guide on the process of calculating and reporting carbon emissions, and a recording of a webinar in which experts provided advice and answered members’ questions.
Lorcan Mekitarian, Chair of the CHSA, said: “Carbon reporting is important for our members. It provides the information they need to support the move towards Net Zero, but the process is complex. This guidance has been developed to help our members navigate these complexities.
“Our goal, as always, is to advocate an ethical approach. We are supporting our members to genuinely cut their carbon emissions and be transparent in the approach. This philosophy aligns to our Code of Practice and Ethical Marketing Commitment. Signed by every member, they require them to be open and honest in their business conduct and for statements and claims to be truthful and supported by evidence. This philosophy is at the heart of all we do.”
The CHSA’s guide on how to calculate the carbon footprint outlines a five-step process:
• Step 1 is to understand the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and which elements are relevant to the business.
• Step 2 is to find a third party to assist with the data collection and calculation. There are many tools available to ease the process of collection and calculation.
• Step 3 is to collect the data. • Step 4 is to obtain independent verification of the data.
• Step 5 is to use the information gather to create and deliver a carbon reduction plan.
The guide also explains the GHG Protocols Scopes 1, 2 and 3, and outlines a high-level methodology for data collection.
The webinar focused on how to calculate and verify carbon emissions. Experts from Planet Mark, Nero and Interface explained the jargon, Net Zero and its importance, and Scopes 1, 2 and 3. They discussed how to gather the data and the associated opportunities and risks, and finally the value of verification. They also answered questions, which included who in the supply chain is responsible for calculating and counting which emission, and what is the right methodology for the calculation.
The guide and the webinar recording are both available now on the CHSA website.

Sybron to open Midlands
distribution centre Sybron is expanding operations by opening a second distribution centre in Stafford.
After operating from a single depot in Harlow, Essex, Sybron’s second distribution centre will strengthen service to its growing number of national customers, offering more efficient support to key areas such as Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Sheffield, Derby and Leeds. The Stafford depot is strategically located to increase delivery frequencies, minimise mileage, cut emissions and reduce carbon footprint.
The fit-out of the new unit will begin shortly and the management team expects it to be fully operational by
November 2025. Site development will be as sustainable as possible, including solar panels and electric vehicle charging points, as the business works towards achieving net zero. The new warehouse will be led by Joe McCann, who joined the Sybron team five years ago.
Bradley Henwood, Operations Director, added: “We will establish and run the new depot in the right way, led by Joe, an experienced member of our Essex team, to ensure our values and culture carry through. We’re confident this new depot will be a brilliant extension of everything Sybron stands for. Also, importantly at Sybron headquarters, it is business as usual with no changes to the team as we continue to grow.”
