ADLER AND ALLAN BOLSTERS SUSTAINABILITY OFFERING

Adler and Allan has launched several new services and strategies to reflect its mission to help clients reduce environmental risk and impact.

Alongside these initiatives it has appointed a new Sustainability Manager to the business to embed sustainability at the heart of its growth strategy. Dan Ellis joins the business from Delta-Simons where he was Principal Sustainability Consultant. He brings with him a wealth of experience in the sustainability, carbon reduction and ESG sphere, having supported some of the world’s largest manufacturers, retailers, technology companies and investment funds to reduce risk and improve positive impact.

Alongside the appointment, Adler and Allan is launching a series of services to help its clients to understand their environmental impact, decarbonise operations and take positive action towards a sustainable future.

Carbon Offsetting

Streamlined Energy and Carbon

Reporting (SECR)

Adler and Allan, has also recently launched a new market leading sustainability tool to estimate the carbon emissions of any project unique to the client’s industry, offering its customers a ‘greener alternative’ when providing proposals. The tool allows full transparency of the CO2 emissions associated with all activities required in a project to allow clients to select from at least two remedial options; one being a reduced carbon alternative. The Environmental Consultancy team has built the tool using DEFRA conversion factors and is the first one of its kind in the industry.

As businesses look to achieve decarbonisation through greener fuels and new energy sources while managing their existing legacy infrastructure to reduce their environmental impact, supply partners need to evaluate their offering. Adler and Allan understand the importance of its own sustainability strategy as part of the supply chain. Ellis said: “Since 2012, we have measured, managed and reported on our carbon footprint via the Carbon Reduce Scheme in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2006, achieving gold certification status.

“Over the past five years, we have cut our carbon intensity by over 14% per full-time equivalent (FTE) and realised a 4% reduction in our absolute emissions, despite significant business growth. We are committed to leading the way on achieving Net-Zero; and using our expertise in energy, fuel, waste, water and ecology help others to make the world a little better than it was yesterday.”

It was great to have a stand at Contamination Expo and to see many members visit or exhibit at the show. This series of events (Recycling and Waste Management, Flood Expo, Contamination Expo) etc have been a staple in the event diary for many a year and it was great to attend and exhibit at a face to face event again.

We had a stand adjacent to the Hazardous Materials Theatre where Dr Jon Burton, Oracle Environmental gave a talk on Spill Response to Biofuels and Neil Stothert, MD of RSK-RAW gave a talk on The Future of Unrenewable Spill Response in a Renewable Energy World.

Attendance at the show fluctuated but it was great to see members attend both talks and it was encouraging so see so many members visit giving us a chance to catch up and meet face to face – many newer members for the first time!

We shared the stand with International Spill Accreditation Scheme so it gave Executive Dirtector, Neil Marson an opportunity to put faces to names and update accredited members on the recent improvements to the scheme. OAMPS, our event sponsor attended on 22 September only.
