Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Ceannaire Medical Ltd recognizes the urgent need to address climate change and commits to achieving carbon reduction by 90% by 2045. This plan outlines the steps and strategies to reduce our carbon emissions across all operations.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Carbon Reduction: Projected Vs Actual

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets. We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next years to 64,607 by 2045 this is a reduction of 90%.
