SUSTAINABILITY

WE’RE CARBON NEUTRAL—AND BUZZING ABOUT IT

Sustainability isn’t a sideline for us, it’s poured into every bottle. We’ve slashed our carbon footprint and balanced the rest with verified carbon credits.

CRUNCHING OUR CARBON (SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO)

HOW ARE WE WORKING TOWARDS NET ZERO?

We think every business should pull its weight when it comes to the planet. So, we teamed up with the carbon-counting brains at Blue Marble to track every release of CO₂ we produce. Scopes 1, 2, and 3 (yep, the whole lot). Then we offset the rest, properly. No greenwash, just facts.

2024 | OUR CARBON NEUTRAL CERTIFIcations
We use Blue Marble to calculate and offset our carbon emissions. They use trusted and verified carbon offset projects. Take a look at our Greenhouse Gas Summary for 2024, our Carbon Neutral Certificate and our trends since we began reporting.

SO, HOW DO WE OFFSET OUR EMISSIONS?

We’ve done the sums with Blue Marble our carbon savvy sidekicks, using the gold standard Greenhouse Gas Protocol. That means Scope 1 and 2? Counted. Scope 3? Counted too, where we can make a real difference. We’ve cut what we can, leaned on suppliers to do their bit, and for what’s left we’ve offset it with verified carbon credits. No shortcuts.

HOW ARE WE GOING ABOVE & BEYOND?

WE HAVE JOINED THE SME CLIMATE HUB

The SME Climate Commitment is one​ of the three pillars​ of the SME Climate Hub and provides SMEs, no matter their sector or geography - with the opportunity to make an internationally recognised climate commitment which is aligned with the latest climate science. In doing so, we are proud to be recognised by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign, and join governments, businesses, cities, regions, and universities around the world that share the same mission.

SBTI APPROVED TARGET

Frobishers has pledged to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions 46% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline, and to measure and reduce our scope 3 emissions. The Science Based Targets Initiative has verified our target: Companies taking action - Science Based Targets Initiative

HOW WE’RE DOING (SPOILER: GETTING GREENER)

Our progress so far

Growing fast comes with growing pains, especially on the carbon front. Our Scope 3 emissions did tick up in 2023/24. But here’s the good news: we’re tracking emissions per £ million of turnover, and that number’s heading in the right direction down.

We’ve just wrapped up a full life cycle assessment (yep, every product). It showed us where the real carbon clangers are: packaging and transport. So that’s where we’re going full steam ahead to cut, rethink and do better.

BIG FANS OF BUGS, BEES & BLOOMING WILD SPACES

Nature’s not just nice to look at… it’s the ecosystem engine we all rely on. That’s why we’re backing brilliant biodiversity projects across the UK, from forest reboots to habitat heroes.

Our Terminology

Carbon Glossary

We use the most widely recognised terms, and they’re defined here so you know exactly what we mean.

SCOPE 1

Direct Emissions

Scope 1 emissions include direct emissions from the company’s owned or controlled sources.

This would include things like a company’s vehicle fleet, gas boilers, and even fugitive emissions from refrigeration systems

SCOPE 2

INDIRECT EMISSIONS

Emissions from purchased energy: include emissions associated with purchased or acquired energy.

Examples include electricity, steam, heat, or cooling consumed by the reporting company but generated by a third party.

SCOPE 3

INDIRECT VALUE CHAIN EMISSIONS

Includes all indirect emissions that occur in the value chain, from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organisation.

Scope 4

THE ABSOLUTE SUM OF ALL EMISSIONS AND REMOVALS OF GREENHOUSE GASES

Includes all caused directly and indirectly, either over a period of time or in relation to a specified product or service.

Calculated with a recognised methodology.

Carbon Neutral

Carbon neutral describes the state achieved when an organisation, country or individual that produces carbon emissions removes the same volume of carbon emissions from the Earth's atmosphere.

Reaching carbon neutrality can involve a variety of measures, including energy efficiency initiatives, renewable energy transitions, carbon removal and carbon offset projects.

Net Zero

Net zero goes a step beyond carbon neutrality.

A net zero approach strives for eliminating carbon emissions entirely. This is achieved by minimising GHG emissions by at least 90% and then compensating for any remaining unavoidable emissions through carbon removal.

Carbon Offsetting

Carbon offsetting is the practice of compensating for greenhouse gas emissions by investing in projects that reduce or remove an equivalent amount of emissions from the atmosphere.

Life cycle Assessment

Life cycle assessment is a thorough investigation of processes across a product's life cycle.

At each stage of the product's life, resource consumption results in environmental impacts. By summing the inputs of resource consumption, and outputs of environmental emissions at each life cycle stage, it's possible to show the environmental impact of a product from cradle to grave.

SUSTAINABILITY QUESTIONS

At Frobishers, we are committed to reducing food waste and using all available resources in an efficient and sustainable manner. As part of this commitment, we do use wonky fruit in the production of our premium soft drinks. We believe that using wonky fruit is a simple, yet effective way to make a positive impact on the environment and help to address the global issue of food waste.

This perfectly edible fruit can still be used to make delicious juice! Read our blog to learn more about wonky fruit and why it's great for fruit juice and fruity drinks.
