Sustainability (RED)

Europe’s commitment to meeting CO2 reduction targets required systems to ensure that these targets did not lead to unintended negative environmental effects. The EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) approved a number of voluntary schemes. B.A.T. achieved certification to the ISCC standard in 2013.

Waste

B.A.T. has the relevant registrations for the handling and management of waste.

We at B.A.T. Services are convinced that Circular Economy and conserving natural resources is a sustainable philosophy since the company was founded in 1997.
The key steps to a better environment and the optimal use of resources are Prevent, Reuse, Recycle, Recover and Reduced Disposal of waste. This way of thinking has been at the core of B.A.T.’s activities ever since the business started and is now widely referred to as the circular economy.
In contrast to the linear economy which is based on Make, Use and Dispose, the circular economy is characterized by Production, Recycle and Recovery where the whole system is designed in order to minimize waste and keep the materials in use for as long as possible.
