Sustainability

Sustainable practice is a lifelong commitment for us

A Trimline, we have already made some huge changes, such as switching to recycled materials and using more energy-efficient methods of production as well as contributing 1% of all revenue towards Carbon Removal through our payment partner Stripe.

However, we know that there is always more we can do. We will continue to look for ways to reduce our footprint and make our business more sustainable. We hope that you will join us in this effort!

Renewable Energy

Trimline’s Solar System

Demonstrating our lifelong commitment to the protection of the environment, we have installed a solar system on the roof of our main distribution hub at The Teardrop Centre. Our ability to generate clean renewable energy every day slashes our CO₂ output and reduces our reliance on grid-fed power. We are now able to measure our energy generation and consumption on-site, assisting our organisation in the measurement of its sustainability efforts.

Energy consumption is rationalised in all company buildings. All lighting is energy efficient and LED with movement lux sensors installed wherever possible.

Solar sustainability

Demonstrating a lifelong commitment to sustainable practice

The 249.8 Kwp Solar Photovoltaic system installed by Perfect Sense Energy will generate over 240,000 kWh per annum. Eliminating over 84 tonnes of CO₂ output in the first year alone, this innovative solar system will prevent more than 2,100 tonnes of CO₂ emissions over a 25-year period. Alongside the unrivalled services that clients have come to know and expect from Trimline, we now hold a significant environmental advantage, contributing to our client’s futures in a sustainable and positive way.

The future

A dedication to better decisions.

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, we employ in-house energy-efficient technology, renewables, and algorithms for sustainability improvement. Collaborating with our supply chain partners, we strive for net zero carbon products by 2030. If unable to reduce emissions, we’ll invest in carbon offsets for net zero carbon by 2040.

Addressing the climate emergency, we contribute 1% of revenue to carbon removal, supporting the development of carbon removal technologies. As part of Stripe Climate, we’re proud to play a critical role in fighting climate change.

Logistics

Dedicated to reducing our vehicle emissions

In order to reduce our carbon emissions, all of our vehicles are compliant with Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) standards required for vehicles operating within London’s North and South Circular Roads. All Trimline vehicles utilise a route optimisation system, ensuring vehicles always take the most efficient journey possible, resulting in reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Trimline also operates under the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme accreditation, currently holding the Silver standard. This voluntary accreditation scheme aims to achieve exemplary levels of best practice in safety, efficiency and environmental protection in fleet operations.
