SDC’S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES

The SDC Group is committed to developing our business in a sustainable way and has made a number of significant capital investments in renewable technologies, in a bid to minimize our carbon footprint and manage our environmental responsibilities, both now and in the future.

Sdc Biomass

Biomass Boilers

Biomass Boilers were installed as a direct fuel replacement for oil or electricity at office buildings in Toomebridge and Antrim. The sustainable boilers are capable of burning both wood pellet and wood chip, offering a reduction in CO2 emissions from the Group of 230T per annum. The renewable investment in excess of £100k will be in place for at least 20 years, ensuring that the SDC Group has a long term commitment to the renewable generation of heating.


Sdc Pv Solar Panels

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels

SDC have installed PV electric systems across two locations to act as a direct electricity replacement up to a 50Kw threshold. The 2 solar installations are on course to generate circa 92,000 Kwh of electricity in the year post installation, which will represent a reduction in Co2 emissions from the Group of 50T per annum. The SDC Group invested £140k in the solar installations representing our ongoing commitment to long term environmental sustainability.


Car Charge

Electrical car charge points

The SDC Group has invested in electric car charge points across 4 sites. Both employees and visitors can avail of the electric charging points, reducing their annual fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions.
