Our commitment to sustainability is not just a statement, it’s a principle that guides our business ethos. As a proud signatory of the Market Research Society (MRS) Climate Pledge, we are committed to taking decisive and measurable steps towards addressing the climate crisis and are so proud to announce that we have delivered on this promise again, cutting our carbon footprint by 32% over the last financial year.
We saw our total emissions fall from 437.2 to 294.96 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, with the biggest success coming from our Scope 2 emissions (electricity) declining by an impressive 95%. This reduction was driven by a strategic transition to renewable energy sources and embedding greater energy efficiency into our daily practices.
This trend continued across the rest of our business, where we have also achieved a 20% decrease in our Scope 3 emissions, covering our value chain from suppliers to business travel, which evidences our company-wide dedication to social responsibility and our responsible partnership. Additionally, our Scope 1 direct emissions remained at zero.
All these numbers are more than just data, they represent a concerted effort across our organisation to operate responsibly. By taking this decisive action, we are not only minimising our environmental impact, but proudly upholding our commitment to the MRS Climate Pledge and contributing to a more sustainable future for the research sector.
