As part of our commitment to creating a more sustainable future, we have embedded ESG as best practice and established a business ethic that is aligned to the principles of ESG in everything we do at ASL.
In our approach to reaching NZC we re-purposed an existing building creating a new company HQ in Swansea. By relocating to Swansea, staff commuting has reduced by 48,497 miles annually (based on the same staff working during ‘22/’23) reducing our carbon emissions by 13.01tC02e (13.15% CO2 reduction from staff travel to HQ).
