ABOUT WERNICK GROUP
STRATEGIC THEMES
TARGETS AND OBJECTIVES
The Wernick Group of companies has a
proud history stretching back to 1934,
growing from a humble maker of poultry
crates to one of the largest companies
in its sector.
At a Group level, we have established the key
strategic themes outlined below which will enable
the Group towards achieving its vision to reduce
carbon emissions.
The Wernick Group aim to achieve net zero CO2
emissions associated with its activities by the end of
2040, with targets set against a 2022 baseline.
The last decade in particular has seen vigorous
expansion through a combination of acquisitions and
organic growth. The Group of companies combine to
offer the sale and hire of permanent and temporary
modular buildings, site accommodation and off-grid
power solutions, from depots and divisional offices
located throughout the UK.

These may be summarised as:
The requirement to embed carbon management
and reduction within all of the Group’s strategies
and practices to ensure that it is recognised at all
levels of operation
The requirement to continue and accelerate
existing and proposed energy saving projects
The need for behavioural change across the
organisation as the carbon reduction target
cannot be achieved by physical works alone
The need to ensure that sufficient resources are
available, both in terms of time and financial
resource
Regular and ongoing communication to maintain
commitment and momentum
The forging of strategic partnerships both within
and outside the organisation to assist with
achieving the vision
As a Group, our near-term and long-term net zero
greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets have been
officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi). This provides a clearly defined pathway for reducing
our greenhouse gas emissions across the Group by 46% by
2032 (scopes 1 and 2), en route to becoming net zero across
our full value chain by 2040.
