Silver Fox has been committed to contributing to global efforts against the climate crisis since 1979. In 2018, we became Carbon Neutral. In 2020, we became the first manufacturing company in Hertfordshire, UK, to go Carbon Negative.
From planting trees to generating renewable energy and reducing consumption across our facility, every decision we make considers the planet. These initiatives are central to how we operate as a responsible UK cable label and industrial labelling manufacturer.
In 2018, we introduced Carbon Footprint, which helps calculate the yearly carbon footprint of the company. Every year, we assess the usage of cars, plane trips, gas and electricity, and more to calculate how much CO2 the company produces each year. Carbon Footprint then calculates the number of trees required to offset our CO2 release from the previous year.
In 2012, we installed solar panels at our office building in Hertfordshire. Since then, the panels have generated more than 32,000 kWh of renewable energy. This clean energy has been used by Silver Fox and the local network within Hertfordshire, helping surrounding businesses reduce their reliance on non-renewable sources too.
Silver Fox has been working systematically to reduce energy consumption across our entire operation. Our office and factory now run on low-energy boilers, we introduced low-energy lighting throughout the facility in 2019, and we have added insulation and secondary glazing to further reduce our environmental impact.
Beyond our annual carbon offset programme, we have introduced two additional initiatives to plant as many trees as possible and help lower CO2 in the atmosphere in any way we can.
The concept is simple. For every Google review Silver Fox receives, whether positive or negative, ReviewForest plants a tree in our name. It is a small action that compounds over time, turning customer feedback into a lasting environmental contribution.
We have installed Ecosia on all company computers. For every 45 searches on the Ecosia search engine, Ecosia plants one tree. It is a simple switch that adds up across our entire team, every single working day.
Silver Fox recognises the importance of supporting those who are less fortunate. This is why we make monthly donations to WaterAid, The Woodland Trust, Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, Save a Child's Heart and Darlands Conservation Trust.
We also try to help in other ways whenever we can. In 2021, our team spent a day at Noah's Ark Children's Hospice helping plant a garden for the children and their families to enjoy.
We are proud to support WaterAid as one of our chosen charities. WaterAid transforms lives by improving access to clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene in the world's poorest communities.
