Asgard Net Zero Commitments
Asgard Net Zero by 2042 - Our Net Zero Commitments
Asgard (A trading division of Flexiform Business Furniture) as a British manufacturer, we understand the importance of our commitment to Net Zero. That’s why we aim to reach Net Zero Scope 1, 2 and 3 (excluding materials) by 2042. As materials currently comprise 84.96% of our total emissions, we’re committed to sourcing more sustainable materials and supporting our supply partners in achieving Net Zero Scope 3 material-related emissions by 2047. This includes both Flexiform Business Furniture Ltd and sister company Asgard Secure Steel Storage, all statistics are inclusive of both brands’ operations.
We’ve been monitoring our Scope 1 and 2 emissions for decades, working to improve and reduce our emissions per manufactured turnover with tremendous success (find out more here).
