As part of environmental and sustainability awareness, Bidvest Group has calculated its individual company-specific GHG inventories for the financial year 2015 (July 1 2014 to June 30 2015). The GHG inventories have been calculated on a company level, as Bidvest operates in a decentralised nature. The calculation of the GHG inventories showed that all companies within the Bidvest Group emit less than 100 000tCO2e each. Our approach to mitigate future emissions is to focus on the top 10 emitters and ensure we are doing, where possible, what is needed to minimise our impact.
