Isramart : Delphi becomes UK’s first auto industry firm to receive Carbon Trust award news

Isramart news:
The UK operations of auto components supplier Delphi Automotive LLP has been awarded the Carbon Trust, for for reducing its total carbon footprint year-over-year by 4 per cent, and CO2 per piece output by 8.8 per cent.

The Carbon Trust Standard is a UK Government certification that recognizes achievements in carbon management and reduction. Recipients of this prestigious award number less than 100 in the entire UK with only a handful of those being manufacturing-based companies. Delphi is the first automotive company to achieve this standard.

“We are very proud to be the first automotive company in the UK to be accredited with this prestigious standard” said Mark Andrews, Operations Support Group (OSG) Director for Delphi Europe, Middle-East and Africa. “This is further validation of Delphi’s ability to apply its safe, green and connected philosophies not only to the products we sell but also to the facilities in which they are designed and manufactured.”

Led by Peter Vallance from Delphi’s OSG, this project involved a team of UK facility management personnel at Delphi sites in Gillingham, Stonehouse, Liverpool, Park Royal, Leamington Spa and Sudbury.

The Carbon Trust Standard recognises organisations that have genuinely acted on climate change and committed to ongoing emission reductions. The Standard also positions Delphi at the forefront of tackling climate change and related measures to reduce carbon emissions directly, rather than off-setting emissions through other means.
