In her appearance on the Responsible Edge Podcast, Vice President of Sustainability Emma Scott detailed how she implemented this approach, by gathering data across dozens of countries to establish Kent’s first global emissions baseline. From there, action followed. Diesel generators were replaced with solar systems at high-impact sites, and every tonne of carbon began to be tracked, measured, and reduced.
