Reducing our carbon footprint
We have a well-established 5-step approach to reducing the environmental impact of our firm and work with leading organisations to support our transition to net zero. Of particular note over the past year has been the publishing of our inaugural Net Zero Transition Plan as well as SBTi approval of our new 2030 and 2050 carbon reduction targets.
Across our offices and for every project, we track the GHG emissions generated by scope, source, and location, capturing them in our proprietary carbon dashboard tool. In FY24/25, our total GHG emissions were 103 tCO2e. They were almost entirely scope 3 and driven by business travel, primarily air travel. Our FY24/25 scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions were negligible (less than 1%). Our carbon data and reporting have been audited and externally verified by Carbon Action in accordance with ISO 14064-3 and GHG Protocol standards.
We remove 100% of our remaining emissions. We have adopted a £100/tonne CO2e levy on all the emissions and invest this in high quality, accredited nature-based carbon removal credits through specialist carbon removal marketplaces, following the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting. In addition, we invest in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to offset the equivalent to 10% of all flight emissions over the year.
