Climate Action Pledge 2025: Reporting Our Environmental Performance
As part of our continued participation in Business in the Community’s Climate Action Pledge, AG Wilson has measured and reviewed its greenhouse gas emissions for the financial year ending April 2025.
Scope 1 & 2 Emissions Performance
Our total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for the reporting period were 935.62 tCO2e, compared to 705.15 tCO2e in the previous year.
This increase reflects a 32.68% rise in overall emissions, driven primarily by expanded project delivery and increased operational activity across the business.
Scope 1 emissions remain the dominant contributor, accounting for 925.03 tCO2e, with diesel consumption across plant and transport continuing to be the primary source. Scope 2 emissions totalled 10.58 tCO2e, representing a smaller proportion of our footprint.
Emissions Intensity and Growth Context
To provide context, emissions performance is also assessed against business activity.
When normalised against turnover, our emissions intensity has remained broadly aligned with company growth, indicating that the increase in carbon output is proportionate to expanded operations rather than a deterioration in environmental performance.
Actions Undertaken
During the reporting period, we introduced Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as an alternative fuel across selected operations. While its overall contribution to emissions reduction remains at an early stage, this represents a practical step towards reducing reliance on traditional diesel.
In addition, ongoing initiatives focus on:
- improving fuel efficiency across plant and fleet
- reviewing site operations to reduce unnecessary consumption
- embedding environmental awareness at project delivery level
Commitment to Improvement and Transparency
We recognise the importance of transparent reporting and accountability in driving environmental performance.
Environmental data is monitored and reviewed through our management systems, supporting informed decision-making and continual improvement.
Our focus for the next reporting period will be on:
- reducing Scope 1 emissions through fuel transition and operational efficiencies
- improving data accuracy and coverage
- identifying further opportunities to reduce environmental impact across our projects
