Sustainability Commitment
🌱 Our Commitment to Carbon Reduction
At Kit Out Clothing, we’re committed to doing our part for a cleaner, greener future. We have formally pledged to achieve Net Zero by 2050, and we’re already taking meaningful steps to reduce our carbon footprint across our operations.
Our current carbon footprint is 9.75 tCO₂e, based on guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and UK government standards. We regularly review and update our progress as we continue to improve.
🌍 What We’ve Already Achieved
Energy Efficiency Improvements
We’ve invested in practical upgrades that reduce heat loss and improve energy performance across our premises, including:
-
Secondary and triple glazing to minimise heat loss and improve insulation
-
Roof insulation to significantly reduce heating demand
-
Energy‑efficient working practices, such as switching off equipment after use and reducing unnecessary energy consumption
♻️ Smarter Waste & Resource Use
We’ve completed a full review of the waste we produce and identified opportunities to reuse materials and reduce what goes to landfill. This helps cut emissions linked to resource use and disposal.
🚗 Reducing Travel Emissions
We support remote working where possible, helping reduce commuting emissions and on‑site energy use.
🐝 Supporting Local Biodiversity
We’re proud to enhance the natural environment around our business by:
-
Planting native wildflowers and trees
-
Creating habitats such as bird boxes, insect hotels and hedgehog shelters
-
Providing food and water sources for wildlife year‑round
