Our Commitments

Our Approach
Our environmental actions are guided by our Environmental Management System certified to the international standard ISO 14001.
We are also implementing ISO 50001, a key standard in energy management and conservation across all our operational facilities. This standard provides a framework of requirements for us to develop a policy for the more efficient use of energy, and implementation will form a key part of our path to net zero emissions.

Our Actions
In 2024 we made significant progress on our goal to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. The signing of a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) with renewable energy provider NTR plc has allowed us to source 95% of the electricity at our Craigavon facility from a local wind farm. This represents a 46% reduction in our scope 2 emissions globally.

Engaging with our supply chain
This year we finalised the calculation of our value chain emissions using a spend based method. Our methodology and assumptions were validated by our ISO 14064 audit and certification. Our analysis has confirmed that approximately 82% of our emissions are in our value chain. This year we have initiated a project to start collecting and tracking scope 3 emission data across all categories in our supply chain.
Once we establish a baseline we will work with our direct suppliers to:
- Work with strategic vendors to set carbon reduction targets in alignment with Almac’s net zero commitment; and
- Encourage these strategic vendors to engage with SBTi to verify these targets.
