A Bright and Happy Dog Tale! T


Bay. The charity’s 22nd


he Dogs Trust has recently opened a brand new rehoming Centre located just a couple of miles from Cardiff rehoming centre has


been devised with man’s best friend’s welfare at the forefront of its design including the LED lighting solutions supplied by Luceco. The £13.5m project has created a canine oasis with three buildings and landscaped outside space for up to 210 dogs. The new extensive facilities include 78


light and airy “sleep & run” kennels with underfloor heating, lit with Platinum Mini Downlighters, a recessed luminaire offering an efficacy up to 117 Llm/cW, with a


unique swing tab design for quick and easy installation. Circulation areas were lit with linear arrays


of the Contour luminaire. The LED lighting system consists of connectable modules that can be surface mounted, suspended or recessed as at the Dogs Trust in Cardiff forming contemporary, decorative, and highly effective illumination. Contour offers over 100,000 hours operational life, making the luminaire ideal for environments with high working hours. Outside, Guardian Pro flood lights were


used for the exercise paddocks and runs and IP65 rated Atlas bulkheads were installed around the exterior of the building with Deco Bollards lighting landscaped gardens and pathways. The perimeter roads and parking facilities were lit with Viva City Pro, a modular, slimline, performance LED street lantern offering a choice of optics and an operational working life of 100,000 hours. The Dogs Trust goes to huge lengths to


help abandoned dogs and rehabilitate those dogs in need of a little extra help, and the Cardiff Rehoming Centre will be no different.


With dedicated Training and Behaviour Advisors, dogs of all shapes and sizes will be offered all the help they need to find a new home – creating many bright and well-lit Happy Dog Tales!

H+H UK announces group sustainability strategy


achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The sustainability strategy published by the Danish parent company of H+H UK Ltd comprises a comprehensive sustainability


H


+H UK Ltd has declared its participation in the H+H Group sustainability strategy, committing the company to


roadmap, committing all its operations to specific performance targets which are aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Perhaps the most significant of these is the


commitment to achieving net-zero emissions in the company’s operations and products by 2050. The target and the plan set out to achieve this goal is expected to be submitted to achieve verification as a ‘science based target’. In preparing to plan its zero carbon journey, H+H has undertaken a life-cycle analysis (LCA) on its aircrete products in order to provide an accurate benchmark against which to measure progress. While on the journey to Net Zero by 2050,


the company is also committing to reducing water used by 5% by 2024 and, in the same timescale, to reduce energy consumption per m3 by 7%. Following the model of the UN SDG, H+H has


set out four specific focus areas, considering its contribution to: sustainable buildings; climate and environmental impact; safety and people and business integrity. MD Calum Forsyth welcomed the report:


“In its sustainability report, H+H Group is setting out its direction for the business into the future. We are particularly pleased with the objective


rigour on which this report is based. Aligning the Group with UN Goals, and taking a measured, scientific approach to analysing carbon emissions ensures that our results will be robust and demonstrable.” This overarching strategy is a Group initiative and each country will take its own approach to meet the Group targets. In anticipation of this announcement, H+H UK had established a working group to focus on re-shaping its operation to achieve the goals. As each work theme is agreed, H+H UK will be announcing its action plans.
