CTS has been part of the Textile Services Association Climate Change Agreement scheme since 2009. This means we continually work towards targets set by the Department for Energy and Net Zero to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Since 2013 the laundry industry has achieved over 25% energy efficiencies in primary energy alone. All our efforts to reduce energy as described in the Sustainability section have contributed towards these efficiencies.
