Oh Yes! Net Zero Interviews Lawrence Green

As members of Oh Yes! Net Zero, a Hull and the Humber environmental initiative, Greens Managing Director Lawrence Green was invited to discuss how Greens the Signmakers are working towards net zero.

In this interview, Lawrence was asked for tips to offer organisations that are keen to make a start on their carbon reduction journey:

1. Start by measuring your impact

“We calculated our Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions for the first time in 2022, and over the past year reduced them from 204 to 170 tonnes. If we’d measured them at the start of our journey we’d have a better idea of how far we’ve come – and it would also have helped us identify priorities for action.” 

2. Take time to learn 

“We’ve benefited from having employees complete formal qualifications in sustainability but there are also lots of opportunities to learn from other organisations on the same journey. We’re happy to share our experiences and learnings, as are many other Oh Yes! Net Zero members.”

3. Make sustainability part of your day-to-day operations

“Once you start to look for ways to cut your carbon footprint, and encourage your team to do the same, you’ll see opportunities everywhere. Over time, whenever you need to buy something new, or put a new process in place, sustainability will become part of the decision-making process.”
