INKJET technology specialist Xaar has launched the firm’s first Sustainability Report, highlighting the progress made towards the objectives set out in the company’s Sustainability Roadmap to 2030.
The report provides an overview of Xaar’s sustainability achievements and future ESG initiatives. It demonstrates the group’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2030 and the impacts that have been delivered for customers, suppliers, employees, and local communities.
Notable achievements shown within the report for 2023 include:
- 2,536 tonnes of carbon removed from Xaar’s Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions (since 2019).
- 100% of UK energy usage is from renewable resources.
- £71,544 raised for UK charity partner Break, consisting of £35,772 from employees’ fundraising and an equal contribution from the company.
- 5,596 CPD hours delivered.
- 45 jars of honey harvested as part of Xaar’s ‘Plan Bee’ project!
The report features sections detailing each pillar of Xaar’s Sustainability Roadmap – Environment, People, Innovation and Community, and the progress made in these areas. It also showcases the efforts of its ESG and continuous improvement teams, with Xaar recently recognised as a finalist at the 2024 edie Sustainability Awards for the decarbonisation of its cleanrooms.
Case studies in the report spotlight how Xaar’s printheads have ‘led the way’ in meeting industry demands with ‘innovative and sustainable’ solutions.
CEO John Mills said, “We are delighted to launch our first sustainability report. At Xaar, we have a strong belief in corporate responsibility and ESG is now firmly embedded in our culture and corporate DNA. By creating this report, we have shown the tangible progress we have made, driven by the pivotal changes in our thinking that will deliver Xaar’s sustainability commitments for the future.”
