Soyang Europe has been recognised for its efforts to reduce emissions and minimise its impact on the environment, receiving a Carbon Reduced Operation Certification from CarbonQuota for 2025
Wide-format kit and media supplier, Soyang Europe, has officially achieved Carbon Reduced Operation Certification from CarbonQuota for 2025, which demonstrates that the company has secured measurable reductions in the environmental impact of its operations.
As part of the certification, CarbonQuota assesses emissions associated with areas including buildings, company vehicles, and employees, providing a benchmark against which businesses can monitor their performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
In its assessment, CarbonQuota highlighted several improvements that contributed to Soyang securing the certification including a 3% year-on-year reduction in the company's total market-based emissions.
According to the assessment, Soyang also reduced its carbon intensity per full-time employee by 9%, with emissions falling from 10.61 to 9.64 tonnes of CO₂e per employee compared with the previous year.
The results reflect Soyang's continued investment in more sustainable operations, with previous initiatives including the introduction of electric company cars and forklift trucks, solar energy generation, LED warehouse lighting, and lower-emission transport.
The company has also sought to improve its container loading efficiency, with the goal of reducing the carbon impact of deliveries.
Alongside these operational improvements, Soyang has also expanded its range of more sustainable materials, adding products to its range which are manufactured using recycled content as well as materials developed to provide lower-impact alternatives to conventional wide-format print media.
Simon Mashiter, operations director at Soyang, says: “Achieving the certification from CarbonQuota is an important milestone for Soyang and recognises the work being done to measure, understand, and reduce the environmental impact of our operations.
“It is something the whole team can be proud of and we're pleased to see our efforts reflected in the results for 2025. We remain committed to making further improvements to our operational efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint wherever possible.”
