Svedbergs Group has decided that its subsidiary Roper Rhodes will invest in the installation of solar panels on its 20,000 square metre roof at Portbury Distribution Centre.
It is a part of group’s sustainability work and approx. 5,00,000 GBP will be invested for the installation. This is the largest project of this kind the company has embarked upon.
The installation work will begin later this year. Once the panels become operational the entire business will become self-sufficient on clean energy and will assist in meeting the UK’s need to treble its solar energy output by 2030 to keep pace with net-zero targets.
Per-Arne Andersson, CEO, Svedbergs Group said, “This investment is part of Svedbergs Group’s sustainability work where we purposefully and focused reduce our climate footprint. During our 100-year history, we have always focused on managing resources and reducing our environmental impact.”
“At first glance the UK may not appear to be the most obvious choice for solar panels, however the system we will employ will generate 600 KwH during daylight hours, providing not only enough for our own consumption but with spare to give back to the National grid,” Will Steele, Operations Director, Svedbergs Group remarked.
Leigh Leather, Managing Director, Svedbergs Group commented “I am really pleased our new parent company, Svedbergs Group shares our commitment to protecting the environment and has agreed to invest in such an ambitious project, the implementation of the solar panels at Portbury mark a fundamental change to the way we will be efficiently managing our energy for many years to come.”
