Climate Action

Responding to the climate crisis is a core priority of our ESG & Sustainability strategy, as we recognise its potential to have far-reaching impacts on our colleagues, clients and communities. We recognise our role in supporting the global transition to a sustainable, low carbon economy, and aim to lead by example in our own operations.

Reduce our absolute carbon emissions and encourage clients to commit to ambitious climate action and thrive within a low carbon economy

Climate Action is a key pillar of our ESG & Sustainability Strategy. We recognise our role as a responsible business in supporting the global transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy whilst acknowledging the critical role of biodiversity restoration in managing the climate crisis. This is part of our commitment to advancing progress against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and in particular SDG13, Climate Action.

Responding to change and raising our ambition

Environmental Sustainability Journey

We have set out our ambition and are committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045 or earlier, supported by a strategy to reduce emissions across all scopes by at least 90% by this target date. This includes investment in certified carbon removal activities in respect of any residual emissions at the target date.

Our near-term targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 50% by 2030 and we are in the process of validating our net zero pathway to 2045.

Carbon Reduction Plan

We publish our Carbon Reduction Plan annually to communicate our progress against our pathway and in line with the UK Government public sector procurement requirements under PPN 06/21.
