Environmental, Social and Governance Considerations
At BioticNRG, we take Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) obligations seriously and they are our guiding principles in all that we do. We participate in SFDR and GRESB submissions which measure our ESG credentials on an annual basis and requires us to monitor our performance against ESG targets we set ourselves. We also align as many of our operations as possible with EU Taxonomy.
We would like to share with you information on our ESG performance in our latest GRESB results 2025, produced by our operating business BioticNRG Operations Limited (formerly Material Change Limited):
- Our AD sites produced 366,071MWh of green energy, which is sent to the national gas and electricity grids or reused at our sites.
- The greenhouse gas emissions avoided by our AD operations were 41,019 tCO2e.
- We processed 94,664 tonnes of waste and 47,179 tonnes of chicken muck. All waste was reused to make PAS100 compliant compost or fed into the AD plants, other than 280 tonnes of contamination which was sent to landfill. This equals to a recycling rate of of 99.69%.
- All water runoff at our AD sites is recirculated into our AD plants.
- We maintained our ISO9001 and 14001 accreditations and also added Bay Farm and Euston AD plants to our ISO9001 scheme – meaning the CO2 produced at the site is quality controlled and ISO9001 certified. The CO2 is also Kosher certified. We achieved our objectives of certifying with ISO45001 (H&S Management System) and obtained Cyber Essentials accreditation during the reporting period.
- We have continued to maintain a good Health and Safety record. We reported three RIDDORs during the year due to over 7 day absences and had 3 lost time injuries from a total of 465,355 hours worked.
- Near Miss reporting continued to support our incident reduction management scheme, with staff displaying an excellent understanding in the importance of near miss reporting to prevent accidents and incidents. Our H&S manger continues to work across all of our sites to promote good practices and provide new ways to increase safety awareness.
- We have a monthly health and safety award to recognise staff contribution to health and safety.
- Our Health and Safety committee meet monthly to evaluate incidents and to monitor for H&S trends.
- Our GRESB score increased from 89% to 93%, up 4% from our previous submissions and demonstrating that we have improved our standards for sustainability and ethical practices.
