Low Carbon Action Plan
2024 has been a milestone year. Through our close partnership with an external consultancy we have now reported on our Scope 3 emissions across all 10 categories that are relevant to the company, which has been completed for our FY23 and FY24.
This expansion in emissions reporting has enabled us to be able to submit our targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), where we are anticipating validation in H1. Our emissions reductions build on the achievements made through moving to 100% renewable electricity for our owned offices. We will also be focussing on working with our suppliers to understand and support their journeys to Net Zero, as well as backing a move to more sustainable travel.
