Sustainability

Our planet

We are committed to lightening our footprint on the planet and to realising our environmental ambitions. As a service delivery company, our energy needs are focused in two key areas; our vehicle fleet and our utility energy requirements and we have a significant footprint within our value chain which we must work with our customers and suppliers to manage. Our focus is primarily on three areas:

Climate action

Restore has made a commitment to accelerate its journey to Net Zero, in-line with the objectives set out in the 2015 Paris Accord, and the Group has stated its goal to become a Net Zero organisation by 2050.

We will achieve Net Zero by reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90%, from a 2022 baseline, by the following target years:

  • Scope 1 and 2: 2035
  • Scope 3: 2050

These long-term commitments are supported by the following near-term targets:

  • to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by at least 50% by 2030
  • to ensure that by 2030, suppliers covering 70% of emissions from Purchased Goods and Services have set net zero targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.
  • to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030

To deliver the necessary carbon reductions over the relevant time horizons and across both our internal operations and wider value chain, we will deploy initiatives across three areas:

  • Measurement, data quality, and target setting
  • Education, engagement, and communications
  • Key decarbonisation initiatives and policies

Diversion of waste from landfill

The Group aims to reduce, reuse, or recycle where possible and move its consumption to sustainable resources over the short to medium term.

We have the ambition to send zero Restore waste to landfill and are in the process of determining the timeframe over which we can realistically meet this commitment.

Our waste activity will focus on:

  • Waste segregation – ensuring that waste is appropriately segregated to allow it to be appropriately processed
  • Waste infrastructure – ensuring that our estate has the right waste infrastructure on site to allow segregation and separation
  • Training and awareness – building awareness of our waste ambitions around the Group to ensure all employees know how they can play their part
  • Collaboration with our waste partners – working with committed and like-mind waste partners who focus on diversion of waste to landfill

Our measures of success:

Our measures of success will be:

  • Zero Restore waste to landfill
  • Improving rates of recycling

We will start to report on our progress in these areas in 2025.

Biodiversity

Restore has a substantial property portfolio which primarily occupies ‘brown field’ sites. The Group recognises these sites impact biodiversity and the natural world. Restore’s biodiversity plan seeks to reduce this impact through working closely with landlords to encourage sustainable development and by improving the quality of the natural environment at Restore locations.

Our ambition is to reduce our impact on the natural world and habitats across our property estate.

Our biodiversity activities will focus on:

  • Completing a thorough impact assessment to understand our biodiversity footprint
  • Partnering with landlords to reduce development impact where possible
  • Providing natural habitats across our estate
