Reducing energy consumption

Reducing energy use across our supply chain has remained a priority in recent years. Since manufacturing accounts for the largest share of emissions, the greatest impact can be achieved by:

  • choosing materials with lower embedded carbon, like bio-based and circular materials
  • partnering with factories that implement energy-efficient processes

While some energy use is inevitable, particularly when transporting shelters to remote or crisis-affected regions, we focus on working with suppliers to encourage transitions to renewable energy.

We prioritise partnerships with manufacturers and organisations that are leading the way and actively progressing toward.
