We are committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2040.
We have prepared a statement which records our baseline emissions footprint, and also outlines the actions, dependencies and barriers which we believe are directly linked to our ability to achieve our commitment.
In summary, over the next two years we will:
- Request our key suppliers to share their emission data and plans, providing high-level guidance to enable them to understand their next steps.
- Review the emissions from our hardware and software commitments and identify where cost-effective improvements can be made now or planned for in the future.
- Review our marketing and advertising emissions, identifying where cost-effective improvements can be made now or planned for in the future.
- Establish clear sustainability criteria when selecting and evaluating suppliers.
- Educate employees about the importance of sustainability and train them on best practices to reduce emissions in their daily activities.
- Regularly review (6 monthly) and update sustainability goals based on new information and advancements
- Review and adapt our communication strategy internally and externally to further drive stakeholder engagement. Included within this review would be further certifications/frameworks that fit our broader strategy.
Our tactical priorities for emission reductions within our control include the review and identification of improvements to:
- energy usage, including heating and lighting
- waste recycling
- employee commuting
