Actions

Changing how we travel

  • Reducing our emissions from business travel is one of our priorities. We operate a hybrid and home-based working model, and generate carbon emissions through travel to our offices, conferences, and training events. These provide networking, team development, and learning opportunities for our employees. We are reducing non-essential travel and pursuing the use of low-fossil fuel options where we can.
  • We offer employees the option to join our Electric Vehicle Leasing Scheme with Octopus Energy.
  • Our employees have access to a Cycle to Work Scheme reducing reliance on motor vehicles in their professional and personal time.

Electronic Waste Management

  • WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) disposal is a priority for our sector.
  • We have engaged National IT Disposal to dispose responsibly of our data and electronic equipment that has reached the end of its life.
  • Items that we purchase must meet ICO standards.
  • We are purchasing products with longer warranties.

Our work spaces

  • Green energy suppliers where available for our rental spaces.
  • We have begun collaborating with office owners to understand how we can do more to reduce the environmental impact of our rental spaces

Carbon offsetting

As we work to eliminate our carbon impact, we offset our GHGs (greenhouse gases) through purchasing internationally approved carbon offset credits. The categories are aligned with the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and in 2024 our purchases were steered by a vote which identified the SDGs that our employees felt were a priority.

The projects supported through our annual carbon offset purchases are detailed in our Annual Impact Reports.
