Following on from our recent positive news around our CO2 emissions, and an increased focus from some Key customers, this month we reminded ourselves of our aligned “Science Based Targets”.

We committed to setting science-based targets for reducing our CO2e emissions this time last year. This aligns our goals with the latest climate science, ensuring our efforts contribute meaningfully to global climate action.

What Are Science-Based Targets?

Science-based targets provide companies with a clear path to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals. These targets are considered "science-based" if they align with what climate science deems necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. By adopting these targets, PRM joins over 7,000 businesses worldwide committed to ambitious climate action.

Our Medium and Long-Term Goals

PRM has set both medium and long-term targets to ensure a comprehensive approach to reducing our CO2e emissions:

• Medium-Term Targets: By 2030, we aim to reduce our direct GHG emissions by over 90% from our 2018 baseline. This includes the CO2 emissions from the manufacture and delivery of our kitchens.
• Long-Term Targets: By 2050, we are committed to achieving net-zero emissions across our entire value chain, including the indirect emissions from our suppliers and the use and disposal of our kitchens.

Why This Matters

Setting science-based targets is about leading the way in corporate climate action. Here are some benefits of our commitment:

• Boosts Innovation: Striving for ambitious targets drives us to innovate in our processes and products.
• Improves Customer Confidence: Demonstrating our commitment to sustainability enhances our reputation and attracts new customers
• Strengthens Brand Reputation: our customers are increasingly conscious of sustainability. Our commitment reinforces PRM's position as a responsible and forward-thinking brand.

Our Path Forward

Achieving these targets will require collaboration and dedication from every member of the PRM team. Here are some steps we are already taking:

• Energy Efficiency: Implementing energy-saving measures across our facilities.
• Renewable Energy: Transitioning to renewable energy sources for our delivery operations.
• Supply Chain Engagement: Working closely with our suppliers to ensure they also commit to reducing their emissions.

We are proud to have embarked on this journey towards a sustainable future. Together, we can make a significant impact and continue to lead the way in our market sector.
