  At CPS, we are taking our environmental impact seriously. We are measuring and reducing our carbon emissions and have set a progressive target to reduce emissions by 70% by 2030 and achieve Net Zero by 2040. This involves the continuation of various measures and activities, already being implemented and embraced by our people, for example: the continued maintenance of our ISO:14001 accreditation, meetings via Microsoft Teams or Zoom, a “Think Local” approach to sourcing quality suppliers, the implementation of an electric vehicle scheme and cycle to work programme, and maintaining a paperless office. 2Moving forward, our commitment to reduced carbon emissions will continue to grow with the implementation of further measures such as: the introduction of a Sustainable Travel Policy to support employee behavioural change to business travel, commuting and parking, introducing a remote working policy alongside the reduction of office space to encourage remote working and reduce travel to office, and the roll out of carbon training to all our colleagues. https://cps.co.uk/media/tdoj3ohu/carbon-reduction-plan.pdf
