staff , as word of mouth can impact our image . Therefore , treating our employees well is crucial for attracting new talent ,” he expresses .
Smart technologies
Turning to sustainability , Jonathan shares the
initiatives undertaken by Wernick not only to lower its own carbon footprint , but also that of its clients . “ Two years ago , we made a commitment of achieving Net Zero by 2040 , and we are investing significantly towards this goal . We began by measuring all our Scope
1 , 2 , and 3 emissions every month , which we have now streamlined . Subsequently , we have invested in transitioning our vehicle fleet to hybrids with electric charging points , and we have allocated hundreds of thousands of pounds towards solar and various smart technologies that complement our depot upgrade programme . Indeed , as we replace old buildings with energy efficient ones , we are reducing our energy use . Beyond reducing our own carbon footprint , we are undertaking significant work to help our customers reduce theirs . We do so by investing in an eco-friendlier hire fleet , particularly within Wernick Power Solutions on the temporary power side and Wernick Hire on the accommodation rental side . Through our greener equipment offerings , our division Wernick Power has achieved fuel savings for our customers of over half a million litres of diesel , equivalent to 1.5 million kilogrammes of carbon in the first three months of 2024 . Provided we continue this trajectory , we could save at least two million litres of diesel for our customers this year ,” he finishes .
By prioritising its clients , workforce , and the environment , Wernick is poised to build on its 90-year legacy and thrive in the future . ■
