Woodland Group has announced its largest solar installation to date at its 130,000 square foot facility in Doncaster, UK.
It will provide over 60% of the site’s electricity and will be supplemented by a green electricity tariff. This, together with initiatives around efficient recycling, EV chargers, and sustainable modes of transport, make Woodland Doncaster a flagship sustainable supply chain location offering full warehousing, eCommerce, and distribution services as well as sustainable road and rail transportation across the UK and Europe.
Launched in close collaboration with customer Who Gives A Crap, who shares Woodland’s drive and commitment to building innovative, sustainable solutions, the continued expansion of green energy use is key in achieving their ambitious sustainability goals.
Andy Papps, Head of Corporate Services at Woodland Group, commented:
“We are delighted to support Who Gives A Crap in helping to bring their renewable energy goals to life. This is a real milestone for us in ensuring we become a provider of choice for business with a strong sustainable agenda.”
Bernie Wiley, Director of Sustainability at Who Gives A Crap, said:
“This is a huge win for us as it will essentially eliminate our emissions from electricity use in the UK, reducing our carbon footprint by 185 tonnes of CO2e emissions per year. The solar panels offer a long-term solution, eliminating emissions now and into the future. As we grow, our emissions won’t. Our short-term aim is to have all warehouses globally powered by 100% renewables by the end of FY25.”
