Sleepeezee reports continued sustainability success
British bed and mattress manufacturer Sleepeezee has reported another sustainable year of trading with the release of its 2022 environmental figures.
The company has announced that in 2022 it offset its total market-based emissions, maintaining its carbon neutral status, while its 591 energy-saving solar panels generated 249,160kWh of electricity and reduced usage by 23.78%.
The Kent-based company continues to work towards the offset of additional carbon emissions, having supported two projects throughout 2022 – the Pacajai REDD+ Project and the Solar PV plant at Bhadla Rajasthan, which work to prevent unplanned deforestation in native forests and replace greenhouse gas emissions with electricity.
“At Sleepeezee, we have been consciously making changes to our operations in order to lower carbon emissions and maintain our carbon neutral status,” explains Andrew Reene, Health, Safety and Sustainability Manager for Sleepeezee. “We are proud to have noted positive changes in our carbon footprint across the company, most notably following the continued positive impact of our energy saving solar panels and the projects we have supported in Brazil and India.”
Since Sleepeezee started measuring its organisational carbon footprint to PAS 2060 standard, using 2018 as a baseline year, it has reduced its absolute carbon emissions by 48.34%. As the brand heads towards its centenary year, it continues to make conscious efforts to further its sustainability progress. So far in 2023, it has installed eight electric car chargers on its factory site, replaced the final remaining fluorescent tubes with LED lighting in the manufacturing area, and is about to bring in three new electric forklift trucks, replacing older diesel models.
