What we’ve been doing.
We absolutely understand that we have a part to play in ensuring the environment’s long-term sustainability. Let's make a positive impact together.
Conservation.
As part of our charitable and community activities, we support environmentally focused charities. Our EMEA team has collaborated with Reforest’Action, a scheme that aims to combat the impacts of deforestation, preserving, restoring and planting forests around the world. So far, 1,005 trees planted or preserved – estimated to produce 4,020 months of oxygen and store 151 tCO2 – equivalent to over 30 years.
Climate change disclosure
The global landscape for sustainability legislation and reporting is evolving rapidly. Recognising the importance of sustainability in corporate governance, we continue to develop our approach to sustainability, reporting and goal setting for our Group environmental and decarbonisation ambitions. We’re engaging with internal and expert third-party resources to set clear roadmaps and pathways.
Carbon reduction.
We’ve been working on establishing a clear picture of our Group “controllable” carbon emissions: Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and Scope 3 emissions relating to business travel, commuting and outbound logistics.
Within the Group we have established a virtual team to monitor the collection of global emissions and in February 2024 a new sub-committee was established to increase our focus on this area.
Working environment.
We put people and relationships along with multiple stakeholders at the heart of our people-first sustainability approach to deliver change. We’re taking practical measures to drive a circular economy, improving waste management at our facilities and increasing energy efficiency, such as using motion sensors for lighting, heating and air conditioning.
Simple approach to using digital assets reduce our need to print, demonstrating how our sustainable approach is embedded throughout our everyday operations.
