Energy efficient lightbulbs and electric car charging points installed

New initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint

Recent projects include changing every single light bulb in our building to LED with the help of Cema Lighting, which reduces our power consumption by 30%.

We have also made it easier for our staff to choose more environmentally friendly transport to work, with completion of the installation of 10 x 22 KW Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. The chargers were installed by GRD Electrical as part of our focus on unlocking more environmental sustainability in our business.

Reducing our carbon footprint at our Great Yarmouth plant is an ongoing process but we are committed to reducing energy consumption to ensure a sustainable and environmentally friendly infrastructure that will support our work in developing high-performance bathymetric sonars, Side Scans Sonars and Sub-Bottom Profilers for decades to come.

Our new LED lights and EV charging station projects were part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund. The UK Community Renewal Fund is a UK Government programme for 2021/22. This aims to support people and communities most in need across the UK to pilot programmes and new approaches to prepare for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. It invests in skills, community and place, local business, and supporting people into employment. For more information, visit UK Community Renewal Fund: prospectus - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
