WILA declared carbon neutral for the fifth year running

WILA has announced that its business is carbon neutral for the fifth year in a row.

Working with environmental consultancy firm, The Carbon Footprint, WILA achieved the voluntary carbon standard on 23 November 2011 having successfully offset 166 tonnes of CO₂.

WILA first became carbon neutral in September 2006 by adhering to the independent assessment guidelines from The Carbon Footprint, which recognises all stages of carbon management including initial emissions and year-on-year reductions. For this year, the accreditation also includes WILA’s new warehouse facility in Abingdon.

WILA has achieved the standard through tree planting in the South East which has allowed the business to successfully offset the full 166 tonnes of CO₂ emissions generated in contribution to this year’s accreditation. 

WILA’s marketing manager, Cally Elston said: “As a lighting company we understand the importance of energy efficiency and the resulting benefits to environment and finances. It’s a subject that has been at the forefront of our industry for many years so we feel that our products, as well as our business, should be developed with energy in mind.”
