Webinar - Asset decisions that matter: Leveraging replacements and upgrades to cut energy, carbon and costs

We’re pleased to be partnering with the Food and Drink Federation for an upcoming webinar. We’ll be advising food and drink manufacturers on how to generate energy and cost savings when replacing or upgrading equipment.

The details

Date: Tuesday 9th June
Time: 11:00-12:00 BST

Food and drink organisations have complex processes. Often, last-minute equipment upgrades or replacements are made to minimise lost time and impact on production. As a result, opportunities to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs are overlooked.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss a better way: planning ahead and aligning upgrade/replacement considerations with your decarbonisation plan. Doing this reduces risk, allows for more sustainable decisions, contributes to your carbon reduction targets, and results in significant cost savings. 

We'll explore how you can: 

  • reduce risk on large, equipment-based investments;

  • choose technology that will help you reduce emissions and cut costs;

  • leverage asset replacement with the new SBTi Version 2;

  • avoid eventual regrets by future-proofing upgrades and replacements;

  • give your business case for carbon reduction projects the best possible chance; and

  • leverage asset replacement with the new SBTi Version 2.

With 2030, 2035 and 2040 decarbonisation targets approaching, this is a key consideration. Join us for expert insights and real-world case studies.

Interested in decarbonising your assets?

Credible emissions reduction can help you:

  • achieve targets efficiently;

  • minimise costs and risks;

  • ensure compliance;

  • enhance transparency; and

  • strengthen competitive positioning.

Heat decarbonisation typically achieves 50-70% of a site’s emissions reduction. Find out how to fast-track the heat decarbonisation process here, and browse helpful guides on the different methods here.
