Introduction

This report outlines the sustainability initiatives undertaken by Interparts (Drumalee) Ltd to ensure environmental, social, and economic responsibility across its operations.

As a leading provider of commercial vehicle parts, servicing, repairs, tachograph and speed limiter services, chassis plating, and accredited CVRT testing, Interparts is committed to reducing its environmental impact while supporting sustainable business growth.

Company Overview

Mission Statement

Our mission is to keep every customer's vehicle safe, compliant, and performing at its best by delivering expert repairs, tachograph and speed-limiter services, chassis plating, and accredited CVRT testing.

Business Activities

Interparts provides commercial vehicle parts, nationwide delivery services, workshop servicing and repairs, tachograph and speed-limiter installation and calibration, chassis plating, and accredited CVRT testing.

Environmental Policy

Interparts is committed to responsible environmental management, pollution prevention, compliance with applicable environmental legislation, and continual improvement of environmental performance.

Environmental Objectives

• Reduce carbon emissions from business operations.
• Improve waste management and recycling performance.
• Enhance energy efficiency across all facilities.
• Promote sustainable resource use and environmental awareness.

Waste Management

Interparts works with approved waste management contractors to ensure environmentally responsible disposal and recycling practices:

• Enva Environmental – Waste oil and battery recycling.
• Oxigen Environmental – General waste, paper, and cardboard recycling.
• Wilton Waste Recycling – Steel and metal recycling.

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

In late 2025, Interparts invested in on-site solar photovoltaic (PV) panels at its Cavan headquarters and workshop facilities. The installation generates renewable electricity, reducing dependence on conventional energy sources and lowering operational carbon emissions.

Environmental Targets

• Achieve a 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2030.
• Reach a 90% recycling rate by 2028.
• Continue reducing operational greenhouse gas emissions through efficiency improvements and renewable energy generation.

Environmental Management System (EMS)

Interparts operates an Environmental Management System (EMS) aligned with the principles of ISO 14001. The EMS supports the identification, monitoring, and management of environmental impacts while promoting continual improvement.

Legal Compliance

The company complies with all relevant environmental legislation and regulations relating to waste management, emissions, pollution prevention, and water protection.

Environmental Performance

Energy Efficiency

Energy-efficient LED lighting has been installed throughout facilities, and renewable energy generation has been introduced through the installation of solar PV panels.

Water Management

Water consumption is monitored and managed through improved workshop and vehicle washing procedures designed to minimise waste.

Waste Management

Recycling programmes have been expanded, resulting in increased recovery of paper, cardboard, steel, waste oil, and batteries while reducing landfill disposal.

Emissions Management

Vehicle-related emissions are being reduced through improved route planning, efficient logistics management, and the evaluation of low-emission vehicle technologies.

Environmental Objectives and Progress

Current Objectives

• Reduce waste generation.
• Lower energy consumption.
• Improve environmental reporting and emissions tracking.

Progress Achieved

• Energy consumption reduced by 12%.
• Recycling performance increased by 18%.
• Renewable energy generation introduced through solar panel installation.

Future Targets

• Introduce hybrid and electric vehicles where operationally feasible.
• Increase renewable energy generation capacity.
• Work towards achieving net-zero operational emissions.

Sustainable Practices

Interparts continues to implement sustainable business practices, including:

• Comprehensive recycling programmes.
• Sustainable procurement practices.
• Efficient logistics and delivery planning.
• Digitalisation of administrative processes.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

Employees are encouraged to use public transport, car-sharing arrangements, and other sustainable travel options where practical. Carbon reduction measures are incorporated into operational planning and business decision-making.

Net-Zero Strategy

Interparts has established a long-term carbon reduction strategy focused on reducing energy consumption, increasing renewable energy generation, improving operational efficiency, and monitoring emissions performance.

Renewable Energy Production

On-site solar photovoltaic panels have been installed at the Cavan facility and workshop buildings. These systems generate renewable electricity for operational use, reducing reliance on grid-supplied energy and contributing to the company's carbon reduction objectives.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

As part of ongoing test centre renovations, charging infrastructure is being installed to support the future transition to hybrid and electric company vehicles.

Paperless Environment

Digital systems and electronic record management are progressively replacing paper-based processes to improve efficiency and reduce paper consumption.

Climate Risk Management

Environmental risk assessments consider potential impacts from flooding, extreme weather events, overheating, and other climate-related risks.

Transition Risks

The company monitors emerging environmental regulations, carbon pricing developments, technological advances, and supply chain sustainability requirements.

Business Resilience

Measures are being developed to strengthen business continuity, improve resource efficiency, and ensure resilience to environmental and economic challenges.
