Looking after our planet has never been more important. We believe that all businesses have a duty of care to do as much as they possibly can to minimise their impact on the environment.
ACS Group are committed to working closely with our supply chain to ensure sustainability is at the core of everything we do. This includes listening to customers, public bodies, and our suppliers to ensure we are always leading the way for sustainability within our industry.
In our commitment to looking after our planet we continuously review our goals to match our environmental responsibilities. Our first sustainability report was published back in 2022 and since then we have made significant changes to move forward and make a meaningful change.
In 2025, ACS Group re-baselined its carbon footprint to align with the ISO-14064-1 standard and the BSI Net Zero Pathway. This shift reflects our commitment to transparency and measurable progress. With enhanced data accuracy and evolving stakeholder expectations, we’ve embraced a more rigorous framework to guide our journey toward Net Zero by 2035.
TAKE A LOOK2024 was a year of integration and outreach. ACS transitioned to an all-electric vehicle fleet, reducing Scope 1 emissions and improving air quality. We also deepened customer engagement by embedding sustainability into contract reviews, delivery metrics, and product choices. Our peer group sessions continued to thrive, reinforcing ACS’s role as a sustainability mentor across Yorkshire.
TAKE A LOOKBuilding on our momentum, 2023 saw ACS Group expand its internal initiatives and gain external recognition. We were nominated for multiple sustainability awards and hosted peer groups in partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, helping other businesses kickstart or revive their green efforts. Our role as a regional sustainability leader began to take shape.
TAKE A LOOK2022 marked a pivotal year in ACS Group’s sustainability journey. We took bold steps by installing 220 solar panels on our head office, generating clean energy and reducing our reliance on the national grid. This foundational investment laid the groundwork for our Net Zero ambitions and demonstrated our commitment to long-term environmental responsibility.
