In 2024, Waldron Family Meats reduced energy intensity, surpassing the milestone target by 8.5%, through refrigeration upgrades, staff training, and completion of the Climate Action Toolkit.
In 2024, Waldron Family Meats achieved a notable reduction in energy usage intensity, reflecting its commitment to improving operational efficiency and environmental performance. Energy consumption per unit of output decreased from 0.397 kWh/kg in 2023 to 0.356 kWh/kg in 2024, outperforming the milestone target by 8.5%.
This progress was driven by the implementation of several targeted initiatives. The company completed the Climate Action Toolkit, which provided a structured framework for identifying and prioritising energy-saving opportunities. This was followed by a comprehensive energy audit that led to key improvements, particularly within the refrigeration systems, one of the most energy-intensive areas of the facility.
Staff engagement was also a central focus. Waldron Family Meats rolled out energy awareness training to ensure that employees understood the importance of energy efficiency and were equipped to contribute to ongoing improvements. This training helped embed a culture of sustainability across the organisation.
