Commitment
The potential environmental impact of global greenhouse gas emissions for all of us is well documented. The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) developed the first global science-based standard for emissions reductions, with the goal, aligned with the Paris Agreement, of 50% reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
It is important to understand how carbon emissions are characterised and dealt with, not least to avoid double counting. Typically, we use the terms Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions in line with the Green House Gas Protocol.
Carbon Neutral
Whilst we have an established plan in place to meet our SBTi aligned targets, we are aware that all of the reductions we are making will not happen immediately. Studies by the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) have highlighted the importance of businesses making a difference in the next 5 years before changes to the climate are irreversible, and so by Carbon Offsetting we are able to make an immediate impact now – when and where it is most important, by sponsoring carbon reduction in developing nations through United Nations certified reduction schemes.
Our promise is to offset all of our annual carbon emissions, and remain carbon neutral, as we continue on our journey to Net Zero.
