Road 2 Net Zero

Supporting you on your decarbonisation journey.

The Hayley Group Road 2 Net Zero programme charts our progress towards our aim to become Net Zero by 2050 at the latest, and in our role in supporting the move towards Net Zero within UK industry.

This page will update regularly with news from around Hayley Group, case studies illustrating where we have supported customers in moving towards a decarbonised future, and product bulletins highlighting innovative products available through our branch network with a strong carbon reduction benefit.

Our Road 2 net zero intersects with yours

Decarbonisation is a process that is high on the agenda for many of our customers. As a key player in the UK industrial supply chain, we have recognised the importance of decarbonisation by launching our ‘Road 2 Net Zero’ programme in May 2022. The Hayley Road 2 Net Zero will document our progress towards our goal of becoming net zero carbon by 2050.

We view our own decarbonisation journey as one that is entwined with those of our supply partners and our customers too. Click on the different headings below to find out more about how our own road will intersect with suppliers and customers en route to a decarbonised, cleaner, and better future...

Hayley

Hayley signed-up to the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) in February 2022, and in doing so, joined forces with 2500+ organisations worldwide. All of those registered are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help limit global warming to below 2ºC above pre-industrial levels. Going one step further, Hayley Group is also part of the business ambition for the 1.5ºC campaign.

By making changes to our day-to-day operations, we can achieve our aim of becoming Net Zero by the year 2050. Keep an eye on our Road 2 Net Zero page for updates.

Suppliers

Suppliers and manufacturers are aware of the pressing requirements to both make their own manufacturing processes more environmentally sustainable and innovate to develop products that satisfy the emerging needs of end-users. We will continue to work with our network of world-renowned, strategic supply partners to provide best-in-class solutions to customers, with a sharpened focus on environmental impact.

Customers

Customers have also committed to similar decarbonisation targets as our own, and demand that their suppliers support them in achieving these. In response to this, we document where we have helped a customer to reduce their carbon footprint, using our TrackUp system. A number of these success stories also become fully-fledged case studies, hosted on our website and promoted on our social media channels.
