Reclaiming Energy Powering our tannery from within. Meet our pioneering thermal energy plant. Our patented thermal process converts our waste streams into heat, which powers our tannery, and radically reduces our carbon footprint. Our thermal energy plant is so advanced, it generates enough energy to heat a small town. That’s 15,000 MWh of energy per year for our facilities, and an additional 12,000 MWh as oil. This commitment to clean energy has dramatically reduced the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of our leather. Our performance is independently audited to the UK Climate Change Agreement. As well as our thermal energy plant, all our fleet vehicles are electric - and we provide electric vehicle charging points for staff and visitors in our car parks to encourage everyone to travel a little greener. When it comes to electricity, we buy 100% from certified renewable and carbon neutral wind sources (100% REGO), and we’ve been doing it since 2017.
