Our Environmental Commitment

At HORIBA MIRA and MIRA Technology Park, we are committed to enabling a sustainable future for mobility and beyond. Our mission is to deliver world-class engineering and test services, while continually reducing our environmental impact and setting new standards for sustainable innovation.

Commitment to Sustainability

We recognise our responsibility to address climate change, protect biodiversity, and support the transition to net zero. Our target is to achieve Net Zero emissions across our operations by 2040. This commitment drives our strategy, shaping how we invest, operate, and innovate. Sustainability is at the heart of our decisions, from energy generation to land stewardship, and from product development to everyday working practices.

Key Achievements

Renewable Energy Leadership

In 2025, MIRA Technology Park energised a 7MW solar array, one of the UK’s largest private industrial solar projects. This investment significantly reduces our carbon footprint and accelerates the transition to net zero mobility, directly powering businesses across the park and enabling greener transport solutions.
