Cala Sustain is at the forefront of a groundbreaking initiative to decarbonise UK defence equipment. We have helped the Ministry of Defence (MoD) achieve its Net Zero commitments.
Over the past two years, our team of seven consultants has successfully led a broader multi-disciplinary, multi-organisational effort to tackle one of the UK’s most pressing sustainability challenges. As we look ahead, this programme is set to expand significantly over the next five years and beyond.
Defence equipment, encompassing everything from ships and aircraft to food and clothing, accounts for 35% of government emissions. Addressing emissions on this scale requires a holistic, integrated approach that aligns with the defence acquisition process and considers the full lifecycle of equipment—spanning design, production, operation, and disposal.
