Carbon Reduction & Net Zero Statement
We help homes and businesses cut their carbon with solar PV, battery storage, heat pumps and EV charging. We believe a renewables installer should hold itself to the same standard it sells — so this statement sets out how we are reducing the emissions from our own operations.
1. Our commitment
Nexus is committed to reducing the carbon emissions of our own operations and reaching net zero by 2035, in addition to helping our customers reduce theirs through the solar PV, battery storage, heat pump and EV charging systems we install.
2. Scope
This statement covers our own operations: our premises, company vehicles, business travel, waste and procurement, including subcontractors and major suppliers. It sits alongside, and does not replace, the environmental performance of the systems we install for customers, which is addressed separately in our technical and sales documentation.
3. Our targets
- Reach net zero for our direct (Scope 1) and energy (Scope 2) emissions by 2030.
- Reduce emissions from business travel and our vehicle fleet by 50% by 2028.
- Use offsetting only for emissions we cannot reasonably eliminate, and only as a last resort after reduction measures have been applied.
4. How we’ll get there
Fleet and travel
Moving company vehicles to electric or hybrid as they come up for renewal, and prioritising video calls over travel where practical.
Premises
Installing our own solar PV, battery storage and/or heat pump systems at our premises where feasible, and switching to a renewable electricity tariff.
Waste
Reducing, reusing and recycling site and office waste, including packaging from equipment we install, and disposing of removed equipment (old boilers, cylinders, cabling) responsibly.
Procurement
Favouring suppliers and products with good environmental credentials where cost and quality are comparable, and encouraging major subcontractors to work towards their own carbon reduction commitments.
Measurement
Calculating our carbon footprint annually, covering at least Scope 1 and 2 emissions, so progress against our targets can be tracked.
5. Responsibility
Steve Clark, Managing Director, has overall responsibility for this statement and the policy behind it. Chris Rawstron is responsible for measuring emissions, tracking progress and reporting annually to the leadership team. All staff are expected to support it in their day-to-day work, and are encouraged to suggest ways to reduce our impact.
6. Review
This statement is reviewed annually, or sooner if our targets, activities or the underlying guidance materially change. It was last reviewed in September 2026.
