SOLACE: Shaping a Sustainable Legacy
At Errigal, sustainability is more than just a commitment—it’s a responsibility. Through SOLACE—our pioneering sustainability programme—we are driving change by integrating data-led insights, circular thinking, and forward-looking innovation into everything we do.
What is Solace?
SOLACE stands for Sustainability, Circularity, Leadership, Alternative, Carbon, and Environment. This framework is the foundation of our approach, ensuring that our decisions not only meet today’s needs but also secure a sustainable future for generations to come.
A Data-Led Approach to Real-World Impact.
To ensure accountability and measurable progress, we have partnered with SustainIQ to implement a comprehensive data capture system, allowing us to:
- Accurately measure our carbon footprint and set Science-Based Targets
- Develop strategic capital investments that drive emissions reductions
- Integrate social value into our sustainability initiatives
- Report with transparency using an ESG Framework
Following our participation in the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), we have identified key opportunities for energy efficiency. These insights are shaping our Capital Investments Programme, ensuring that sustainability is embedded in our long-term strategy.
Circularity & Innovation: Rethinking Resources
We are committed to designing out waste and embracing circularity of materials, ensuring that resources are reused, repurposed, and regenerated. Beyond operational sustainability, we support local artists and creators, providing them with repurposed materials to inspire new works—demonstrating that sustainability can be both practical and artistic.
Thought Leadership & Academia: Turning Vision into Action
At the heart of SOLACE is a deep commitment to thought leadership and academic collaboration. Thought leaders are the informed opinion leaders and the go-to people in their field of expertise. They become the trusted sources who move and inspire people with innovative ideas; turn ideas into reality, and know and show how to replicate their success. We bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application, working alongside universities, industry experts, and sustainability pioneers to explore the next generation of environmental solutions. We don’t just follow best practice—we define it.
Looking Further, Thinking Smarter
Sustainability isn’t just about meeting today’s challenges—it’s about anticipating what’s next. We look beyond the horizon to create long-term solutions that will stand the test of time, ensuring that businesses, communities, and ecosystems can thrive together.
