Commitment to achieving Net Zero
William Davies Care is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Emissions reduction targets
In November 2021, William Davies Care announced ambitious new environmental sustainability goals in both climate and nature, aiming to have a Net zero impact on climate by 2045 and a Net positive impact on nature by 2045. The climate ambition translates to these specific targets for our Medical Consumables and Consumer Healthcare Businesses
- Net zero emissions across all operations by 2045 (scope 1 and 2)
- 100% renewable electricity by 2040 (scope 2)
- Net zero emissions across our full value chain by 2045 (scope 3)
- Net zero emissions across all operations by 2045 (scope 1 and 2)
- 100% renewable electricity by 2040 (scope 2)
- Net zero emissions for select brands/formats by 2045 (scope 3)
- Scope 1&2 34% reduction by 2025 vs 2017 baseline
o scope 1 = 891,291 tonnes CO2e, Scope 2 = 590,456 tonnes CO2e in 2017 - 16% reduction in scope 3 emissions by 2030 vs 2017 baseline
o scope 3 = 18,152,838 tonnes CO2e in 2017
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
2021 is our new baseline year. However, in 2021, we reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by approximately 24% compared to 2020, largely because we transformed our use of renewable electricity through the purchase of green certificates. This means 52% of the electricity we used in 2020 was sourced renewably. For our UK operations, all our sites sourced electricity from renewable sources1.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
William Davies Care aim to increase the amount of renewable electricity sourced globally to approx. 68% in 2021 and to 100% by 2040 in line with our commitment to RE100. This will be achieved and maintained using a combination of Power Purchase Agreements supplemented by the purchase of unbundled energy attribute certificates (REGOs, RECs, or iRECs).
William Davies Care aim to have transitioned 2% of our sales fleet to low carbon/electric vehicle during 2021 and 100% of its sales vehicles to low carbon / electric vehicles by 2030 where charging infrastructure allows.
William Davies Care aim to reduce energy use by approx. 3% per year at its major facilities through the implementation of efficiency projects identified in its energy efficiency programme.
William Davies Care is actively working with partners to explore the options for an alternative lower carbon impact propellant to use in Ventolin metered dose inhalers.
William Davies Care has a supplier engagement programme to reduce the upstream Scope 3 emissions from our supply chain, using levers such
- surveys to understand the carbon reduction ambitions of our suppliers
- promoting the use of renewable energy by our suppliers
- the development of contract clauses to address reductions in environmental impact
