Senior management first committed to the reduction of our impact on the environment in 2015 with the inception of the project to become ISO14001 certified. A dedicated team within the business has maintained our focus and engagement on the topic ever since. Each year the business has signed up to reduction goals covering recycling, waste, energy, water and paper among others. For 2022 the team have upped the ante and set a target of becoming Carbon Neutral (for scope 1, 2 and 3) by Q1 2023.

Looking ahead, what are the longer-term company goals?
We will capture raw data from suppliers, staff, print systems, expense and travel management systems, third parties and financial systems on a monthly basis and populate our cloud-based carbon calculator tool for all scopes. The team will track progress vs agreed goals on a monthly basis and feed back to senior management and the broad organisation quarterly. The data will be independently verified by our chosen carbon neutral audit partner. During this time we will continue to focus on the reduction of usage and the increase in sustainable energy sources. For 2022/3 our goal is corporate carbon neutrality, by 2028 we aim to become product carbon neutral.
