Project progress
October 2024:
After a year of system connection we have averaged 2.67 tonnes of CO2e saved per month in manufacturing energy usage, with a total accumulative savings of 31.24 tonnes CO2e.
This reflects an average reduction of 18% per month in the last quarter, with July showing the best performance to date—achieving a savings of 5.5 tonnes CO2e, or 26.25%.
Impressively, we have achieved as much reduction in the last quarter as we have throughout the entire project to date.
September 2024:
The game is getting exciting! Our carbon savings are now being rewarded with points! and being redeemed for rewards
August 2024:
Version 3 of the game app is launched within the factory and staff are able to redeem some of their first points!
July 2024:
We are saving Carbon! Every ton of carbon saved is equivalent to 100 trees.
29.09 x 100 = 2909 Trees so far.
The goal is to save up to 75T by the end of the year.
June 2024:
The game app has received a huge update to give staff access to their battery level, new languages and tap to reveal game cards.
The team are working hard to prepare visual dashboard displays for production.
Screens are set up and the front and end of line for product confirmations - teams are currently finalising their functionality and troupleshooting
May 2024:
Gamification was kick off with a full staff meeting to introduce the new Game App, KPIs and the introduction of PerkBox as a benefits platform for game players
April 2024:
The Mesh was fully completed to include external areas and linking the 2 Raynor's buildings.
We've shared the Universal KPIs with the teams, this is how everyone across the business can gain points
March 2024:
Internal gamification app version 1 has been launched, we aim to gather feedback in order to develop further.
We learnt that since December 2022 the project was able to save 38 Tonnes of carbon, this is equivalent to removing 10 cars off the road.
February 2024:
Game links are issued across the factory with Dr Ergun (head of gamification) presenting a 20 minute introduction to staff on how it is to be used and why we are using the technology at work.
The Game App is being developed and version 1 will be shared with all staff Mid March.
Carbon Labelling
We have just started to produce our first release of the carbon labelling on patient line. The patient line range is the test bed for the project.
Game links are issued to factory staff
January 2024: The S3 project celebrated our 1 year anniversary since launch.
Dashboard production screens being set up to display energy consumption, products per minute, and weekly overs
We have results!!
Since project launch we have achieved a 60% reduction in our waste-related carbon use over the last year.
This is 39 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions saved since October 2022.
1 Year Project Anniversary!
