carbon targets Obart Pumps and Tsurumi UK have accomplished their goal of becoming Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon neutral by 2023. The sister companies were already in a


favourable position from initiatives started as far back as 2012, such as installing solar panels on their 20,000sqft head office, meaning they generate more energy than they use. Additional improvements include LED lighting throughout offices, low energy automated lighting in warehouses, and the use of biodegradable starch chips and shredded cardboard in packaging. Obart and Tsurumi UK also recognised


the need to work with carbon consultant specialists to achieve their ambitions. They sought the advice of Square Gain, Redshaw Advisors and Plannet Zero to assist them in their journey. Pete McMutrie, sales director of Obart Pumps said: “Once we had


our carbon footprint results, our carbon consultant specialists helped us to find the right projects to invest in. We have subsequently invested in a clean water borehole project in Mozambique. Being a water pump company, this seemed a great fit. In fact, it was such a fantastic initiative, we decided to go beyond Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon neutrality and invest five times this amount to be in a carbon positive


position whilst helping fund the amazing work being carried out.” The project in Mozambique provides safe drinking water to over


3000 people, reducing waterborne diseases and the need to boil water, replacing anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by approximately 10000 tonnes of CO2e per year.
