Powering Roses: David Austin roses' commitment to solar energy
At David Austin Roses, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond growing beautiful roses; it includes a deep responsibility to care for our environment. As part of our BLOOM ESG strategy, we are thrilled to showcase our commitment to integrating solar energy into our operations.
We have installed photovoltaic solar panels on the roofs of our production facility, offices, and cold stores to reduce our environmental footprint and adopt cleaner energy sources. These solar panels are crucial in our efforts to achieve greater sustainability. They significantly reduce our reliance on non-renewable energy sources by generating approximately 50% of our peak electrical needs and up to 80% during quieter periods.
Installing solar panels perfectly fits our goal to lessen environmental impact and improve energy efficiency. Our solar panels help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower our overall carbon footprint by converting sunlight into electricity. This initiative supports our commitment to sustainability and showcases our dedication to innovative solutions in horticultural practices.
Our solar energy strategy demonstrates our commitment to a greener future as we continue to grow and evolve. By harnessing the sun's power, we are taking meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact and ensure our rose cultivation practices are sustainable and beautiful.
Thank you for supporting David Austin Roses and joining us on this journey toward a more sustainable future. Together, we can cultivate a greener world while enjoying the timeless beauty of our roses.
