Now in its fourth year, the audit measures our company’s carbon emissions for the 2024 calendar year, drawing on data from across the business including; travel, transport, working from home, our digital footprint, office utilities and office purchases - including the biscuits! 🍪

2024 was a pivotal year for us as we transitioned towards constructing our own solar projects in the UK. Despite this growth, we maintained a stable carbon intensity of just 0.01 kg CO₂e per £1 million of expenditure 📉

As we move into the delivery phase of our projects, we can stand proudly behind the positive impacts of our projects to offset our emissions. Our UK solar projects will not only generate clean electricity but also deliver significant biodiversity and habitat enhancements — including collectively planting over 39,000 trees and achieving over 700% biodiversity net gain across our UK portfolio 🌱

‍

Other 2024 audit highlights include:

✅ Enhancing our data accuracy with even more granularity and more accurate data sources

✅ Aligning our pension investments with our sustainability commitments

✅ Strengthening waste management, procurement, and energy efficiency practices

✅ Setting out next steps to consider construction-phase and supply chain emissions in future reports
