Our Commitment to Net Zero
We are committed to removing carbon from our operations and wider business activities consistently each year and aim to reach a net zero position by 2040.
Our passion for people is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the engine that keeps us ticking and inspires us to do our best. This philosophy has long been a part of who we are; we’ve supported the communities we work and live in, via charitable giving and social responsibility initiatives, for many years. As a fast growing and entrepreneurial firm, we recognise that our social responsibility extends to doing all we can to reduce our impact on the climate and protect the environment.
Our Net Zero Journey: Progress Update 2024
Our journey towards becoming a Net Zero business began in 2020, with baseline figures independently recorded by Go Green Experts.
Since 2022, we have published an annual report detailing the steps we’ve taken over the previous 12 months. This report highlights key metrics and evaluates our performance against our targets.
In 2022, we set an ambitious goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 72% by 2032. The annual report tracks our progress towards this target and our ultimate aim of becoming a Net Zero business by 2040.
Our latest annual report identifies our Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, with all data independently recorded and verified by Go Green Experts.
2024 Audit of Carbon Emissions and Decarbonisation Strategy
For the 2024 reporting period, we recorded a 6% decrease in emissions over the past 12 months, and emissions per employee have reduced by 34% since our baseline measurement in 2020.
Throughout 2024, we have implemented several carbon reduction initiatives. These included major office refurbishments guided by sustainability principles, as well as an electric vehicle leasing scheme available to all staff members.
One key metric in our annual report is carbon intensity, measured by carbon dioxide emissions per million pounds of turnover. Against a backdrop of business growth, we recorded a 25% year-on-year reduction in carbon intensity.
The latest data confirms we are on track to meet our target of reducing Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 72% by 2032.
We thank Go Green Experts for their assistance in auditing our greenhouse gas emissions and support in setting out our commitments.
