We believe that sustainable working is not only essential for our business’s growth, but is also a key part of our responsibility to the planet.
Climate change is currently having a dramatic effect on the planet. Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are pushing up average global temperatures, resulting in major environmental damage and threatening food security for millions. To safeguard future generations, we all have an obligation to tackle this problem.
To do this, humanity needs to adopt a Net Zero approach to its activities. This means making sure that the total amount of GHGs we emit is equal or less than the amount we remove from the environment. If we could do this, global temperature would stabilise for the future.
To help us achieve our Net Zero goal by 2045, we have developed a detailed Carbon Reduction Plan. We have produced this in accordance with PPN 06/21 and using UK Government guidance.
While CO2 is the most well-known greenhouse gas, it’s important for us to reduce emissions of others. These are often measured in carbon dioxide equivalent units (CO2e).
Despite growing significantly since 2019, we have reduced our emissions by 19%. This equates to somewhere in the region of three average UK households’ annual emissions. We predict that by 2030 our overall reduction will be 30%.
