Our Purpose at Element is "Making tomorrow safer than today" and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibility are core to how we bring this purpose to life. At Element Hitchin, we are proudly working in partnership with Trees for Life to rebuild our natural habitats, so that every time we win a contract, a tree is planted in the Scottish highlands to restore ecosystems and reverse biodiversity declines. Across our global network of over 270 laboratories we help our customers to meet their environmental obligations, but what about our own? To hold ourselves to account, we are working to the following environmental targets:
  • Reduce Emissions in line with 1.5°C by 2026
  • Net Zero across the whole business by 2035
We have already made strides in renewable energy procurement, with 15% of Element's global electricity now sourced from renewable energy; in addition to energy production, through the installation of solar panels on our properties; and by progressively switching to electric vehicles. Thanks to the hard work and commitment of our people we are a recognized industry leader by Sustainalytics and sit in the top 1% of over 15,000 companies rated, the highest of any major TIC player.     For more information about Element and our commitment to sustainability, please visit our website, connect with us on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
