Reesink UK Ltd

 

Reesink Turfcare UK is committed to robust environmental management and continuous improvement of its carbon footprint performance. The wider Royal Reesink Group – of which Reesink Turfcare UK is a part – has established a strong foundation of carbon measurement and energy management practices that directly support our UK operations.

Royal Reesink has been measuring its corporate carbon footprint since 2014 and has implemented certified energy management processes across the organisation. The Group’s Dutch and Belgian operations are certified under the NEN‑ISO 50001 Energy Management System, and this framework is being applied across all subsidiaries, including Reesink Turfcare UK, to ensure structured energy performance improvements and transparent monitoring.

In 2024, the Group initiated preparations to comply with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). As part of this programme, in 2025 a Group-wide sustainability reporting tool was deployed to improve data completeness, enhance data quality controls, and support consistent reporting across all entities. During the same year, the Group also renewed its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions baselines and associated reduction targets to ensure continued alignment with current methodologies and regulatory expectations.

In preparation for forthcoming reporting obligations under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Group undertook a detailed review of its climate strategy in 2025.

Under ESRS E1, organisations must disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets in absolute terms, referenced to a clearly defined base year, and must indicate whether those targets are consistent with a 1.5°C global warming trajectory. To meet these requirements, Royal Reesink comprehensively re‑evaluated its climate targets, baselines and underlying methodologies in 2025.

To support the updated Group‑wide target of a 35% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 (base year 2024), Royal Reesink has identified four primary decarbonisation initiatives. These form the core of the Group’s carbon reduction programme and will be embedded across all subsidiaries, including Reesink Turfcare UK.

1. Switch to Zero – Fleet Transition

Royal Reesink is accelerating the transition of its passenger and operational vehicle fleets toward electric and hybrid vehicles. This initiative focuses on reducing fuel consumption and lowering tailpipe emissions, contributing directly to Scope 1 reductions.

2. Clean Power Transition – Renewable Fuels


The Group is gradually introducing renewable fuels to decarbonise energy use and internal logistics. This includes exploring biofuels, low‑carbon alternatives for machinery, and other renewable energy carriers.

3. Pure Energy – 100% Renewable Electricity


A core element of the strategy is the transition to renewable electricity across Group operations. This shift will significantly reduce Scope 2 emissions and supports a cleaner overall energy mix.

4. Smart Buildings – Energy‑Efficient Facilities


Royal Reesink will implement a range of facility efficiency upgrades to reduce energy consumption across its buildings. Measures include insulation improvements, LED lighting, and efficiency enhancements incorporated into planned renovations. Reesink Turfcare UK will adopt these improvements as part of its ongoing maintenance and refurbishment plans.

This ongoing programme ensures that Reesink Turfcare UK is aligned with robust, internationally recognised environmental management practices and is progressing toward full publication of a CRP in line with evolving regulatory and tender requirements.
