A Merseyside-based environmental consultancy has secured a contract with pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca to help it cut its carbon emissions.

Based in Birkenhead, Inteb comprises an expert team of energy managers, surveyors, utility and environmental specialists. They help businesses across the UK to reduce carbon emissions, optimise energy costs and meet regulatory obligations.

AstraZeneca, which has suppled millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine for people across the country, has hired Inteb to focus on a number of sustainability initiatives at its site in south Liverpool.

Inteb director Tom Kelly said: “As environmental specialists in supporting UK businesses to reduce carbon emissions, energy usage and costs, we at Inteb place great importance on our collaboration with AstraZeneca to support their vision of being a leader in environmental sustainability to protect our planet for future generations.”

Throughout the coming year, Inteb will be working with AstraZeneca at the Speke site to set minimum sustainability requirements for its local engineering and supplier needs and to ensure regulatory compliance on environmental training.

A new post has been created by Inteb – that of a ‘site champion’ – who will work on site to manage the company’s environmental target performance and work on global sustainability initiatives.

For the whole of 2021, the progress of sustainability objectives at the Speke operation will be monitored by Inteb along with the creation of other environmental initiatives including monitoring utility invoices, a waste audit.

Mr Kelly added: “Our work with AstraZeneca will help accelerate initiatives which will tackle climate change.”
