RECENT NEWS
We're minimising our adverse environmental impact, maximising our positive impact and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero - by setting hard targets, promoting sustainable choices and collaborating with like-minded businesses to tackle environmental issues.
Our goal is to reach net-zero by 2040 with science-based targets that are ambitious, achievable, and industry-leading.
Approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) our near- and long-term GHG emissions reduction targets go beyond the (SBTi) recommendation that businesses halve their emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero before 2050.
With an 88% reduction in our Scope 1 & 2 (market-based) emissions since 2019 - hitting our target six years early.
To ensure we can accurately record, manage and act on our GHG emissions data, we have invested in a new platform and now incorporate sustainability screening for suppliers. We actively encourage employee engagement, sharing knowledge and driving change, so that our people can have positive environmental impacts within and beyond the workplace.
- We have employee-led sustainability forums in every region, with 74 active members
- Our Glasgow office is in Cadworks, Scotland's first net-zero office, while our Manchester office has moved into Eden, Manchester's most sustainable building
- We're partnered with a growing list of like-minded organisations, including Belmont Estate and Forest Green Rovers
- We support the Ministry of Eco Education, who help 5,500 schools embed sustainability across curriculums
- We've achieved the international standard ISO 14001:2015, that sets criteria for an effective environment management system
- 100% renewable electricity is used across our offices
- We support The Chancery Lane Project, a charity that helps organisations reduce emissions using the power of legal documents and processes
