Our Goal: \u2018Zero-By-30\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All ILG UK Operations to be
Carbon-Neutral by 2030*.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Our long-term target is to be a NetZero business by 2030. It\u2019s a big target, but we\u2019re off to an amazing start. Since 2020, we have exceeded many milestones and by January 2025, we recorded a 79% reduction in carbon emissions*<\/strong> (relative to business turnover). We\u2019re on our way to a net-zero future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Based on market based emissions scopes 1, 2 and some operational scope 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Clean Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2021 we switched all our energy contracts to Green Electricity and Green Gas tariffs. So now, all our warehouses and offices are powered by sustainable energy and downsizing their carbon footprints. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Zero to Landfill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

100% of our waste is either recycled or treated at energy-for-waste facilities, to produce enough electricity to power 60,000 homes. None of our waste goes to landfill and we’re working hard to cut our volume of waste and find new ways of repurposing it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Recyclable Packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All ILG paper and cardboard packaging is made from recycled materials. Instead of oil-based packing materials, we use paper-based void-fill wherever possible. Every week we bail on average 8 tonnes of cardboard and 400kg of plastic for recycling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
