Anglia works closely with all of our suppliers to ensure to the best of our knowledge we are not distributing any products that contain “Conflict Minerals” or products which use “Conflict Minerals” in their manufacturing processes. As part of this process Anglia demonstrates due diligence by informing all of our suppliers that by accepting our orders, they are agreeing to supply said products to Anglia which do not use any raw materials in their manufacture that are defined as “Conflict Minerals”.

By using collective intelligence, we have measured our emissions to understand what our carbon footprint is. In accordance with GHG Protocol (Green House Gas Protocol) various emission sources determine the 3 scopes for which we have established the following areas will require our focus.
Scope 1 – All emissions generated directly by Anglia Components Plc by company owned equipment or vehicle fleet.
Scope 2 – Emissions generated by purchased energy, for example oil, gas and electricity.
Scope 3 – All other emissions that are not under direct control by Anglia, such as employee travel.
Whilst our ultimate aim is to be Net Zero in the future, we have taken the following steps to offset our current carbon footprint to bring an immediate relief to reduce our emissions and help fight climate change.
As a result of our measurements, we have established we can improve areas within the 3 scopes and offset our emissions by introducing a policy to mandate the following:

We have engaged with our employees who have carefully selected projects to offset our carbon emissions, we are committed to supporting these projects with ‘ClimatePartner’ as our consultants within this scheme.
