Net Zero
Solmedia is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions in line with the UK Government’s target of 2050. This would require a 3.5% reduction in emissions year-on-year compared to the baseline year of 2024-25 to ensure a 90% reduction by 2050, aligning with the Science Based Target Initiative’s (SBTi) definition of Net Zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Net Zero mean?
Net Zero means balancing the amount of greenhouse gases we emit with the amount we remove from the atmosphere. In simple terms, any carbon emissions we create are offset through reduction initiatives or carbon removal projects, resulting in no overall increase in global emissions.
Why is Solmedia committed to achieving Net Zero?
We recognise our responsibility to protect the environment and reduce our impact on the planet. As a supplier to the scientific community, we support research that improves lives and we believe it’s equally important to operate in a way that safeguards the future. Our Net Zero commitment reflects our long-term goal to operate more sustainably across every area of our business.
How is Solmedia reducing its carbon footprint?
We’re taking practical steps to cut emissions across our operations — from improving energy efficiency in our facilities and reducing waste, to working with logistics partners who prioritise low-emission transport. We’re also reviewing our product packaging and supply chain processes to find new ways of reducing environmental impact.
When does Solmedia aim to reach Net Zero?
We have developed a clear roadmap to reach Net Zero by 2050, in line with the UK Government’s target. Along the way, we are setting measurable goals to track progress and continuously improve because sustainability is a journey, not a destination.
