Kohler Mira, parent company of Mira Showers, is celebrating a 3% drop in GHG emissions, as detailed in its 2025 ESG Report.
The company reports it is on track to achieve net zero by 2035, having achieved a 3% Scope 1 and 17% Scope 2 reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the last year.
Within ESG reporting, Scope 1 accounts for emissions released directly from activity across its sites. Increasing recycling to 86% and reducing waste to energy by 10% helped reduce emissions.
Scope 2 (location) data relates to indirect GHG emissions associated with purchased energy. By increasing on-site solar energy production and reducing energy consumption a 17% drop in GHG emissions was achieved in 2025.
In addition, transitioning its company car fleet, which is now 65% fully electric and 35% hybrid, compared to 2022 when there were zero fully electric cars, helped towards the reduction in GHG.
Emma Foster, managing director at Kohler Mira, said: “Today ESG is deeply embedded, it shapes how we run the business, how we design and manufacture products, how we show up in our communities, and how we look after our people.
“This year’s report reflects the fantastic progress we are making against our sustainability strategy. The greatest opportunity for positive change lies in helping customers reduce their own daily footprints. In 2025, our commitment to sustainable, user-led innovation was recognised with eight international design awards.”
