- Switch the electricity contractAbout €880 a year saved. Move to a renewable tariff at the same time.
- Replace the gas boiler at the main siteHeat pump study in 2026. Gas is the largest single source (6.5 t).
- Engage Meridian FreightAsk for fleet data and a reduction plan, or compare alternative carriers.
- Collect more supplier dataReplace the remaining estimates in purchased goods with supplier figures.
