Chemicals relied on short-term purchasing . Additionally , Briar leverages ICD ’ s expertise to gain insights into the carbon credits market , empowering us to make informed decisions on when to buy ( before prices rise ) or wait ( when prices fall .) Looking ahead , we plan to utilize ICD ’ s support in determining the efficient operation of our CHP ( Combined Heat and Power ) unit and optimizing the load on the system during periods of low energy demand . Lastly , ICD also reviews all energy shippers ’ invoices , diligently challenging any discrepancies identified . Overall , ICD has been an invaluable partner to the success of our business ,” Chris expresses .
Aware of the impacts of chemicals manufacturing on the environment , Briar places a strong emphasis on eco-friendly practices . “ Spanning over 100 acres , our site is located in the outskirts of Norwich , just north of the Sweet Briar Marshes , currently owned and managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust . The Trust has recently presented an overview of its vision and plans for development , which
we are keen to support as we recognize the importance of this wetland , Hence , Briar will collaborate with the trust to ensure that the marshes can be enjoyed by anyone looking to experience this unique environment . Besides , to uphold our environmental responsibilities , our site possesses its own water treatment plant and works extensively with Anglian Water and its commercial partner , Wave , for efficient wastewater treatment . Furthermore , we are actively engaged in two projects aimed at reducing our wastewater discharges from the site . These efforts not only enable us to maintain our current Silver sustainability classification from EcoVadis but could also potentially improve our ratings in the future .”
Looking to the future , Briar is poised to continue leading the way in agrochemical innovation while safeguarding local ecosystems . ■
