THE TRAFFIC GROUP SUSTAINABILITY

Welcome to The Traffic Group Sustainability site, our opportunity to showcase our commitment to our staff, our partners, our community and the environment.


Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a fairly new term but its ethos has been at the heart of every Traffic Group business for many years. Ensuring our business goals are aligned with social and environmental responsibilities has never been a checklist item, it is a culture that has been cultivated over time and underpins our core success which allows reinvestment in more and more proactive measures. Whilst we strive for growth, this is to be more than just market-share, it is the improvement of sustainable practices, an expansion of community support and a transition beyond environmental neutrality to tip the balance of positive innovation.

Decarbonisation

We will be using the Green House Gas Protocol’s methodology for GHG accounting to communicate our decarbonisation efforts.

Emission figures will use the unit CO2e to encompass equivalent GHGs, and calculated using the UK Government Conversion Factors¹.

Scope One

Company Facility Emissions
51.62 tCO2e
Company Vehicles
81.33 tCO2e

Scope Two

Emissions from Energy Consumption
22.39 tCO2e

Additional Reporting Figures

Green Gas (consumed)
1838.33 m³
High-Level Radioactive Waste in Energy Procurement
193 g

Renewable Energy Generation

AGD generate the equivalent of 12% of our total consumption through in-house solar PV generation, which is fed into the grid.
This off-sets 3.29 tCO2e of our scope 2 emissions for 2021.
This allows our radar manufacturing and testing facility to operate carbon-neutrally

Energy Efficiency Initiatives

LED tube lighting upgrade in AGD manufacturing facility in 2021 will create C02 yearly savings of 866 kgCO2
