Our Net Zero Commitment, Targets & Actions
Running Carbon Footprint Ltd sustainably is core to our fundamental values and ethos. We believe in leading by example, which is why we are aligning our own operations with the latest climate science.
Evolution of Our Climate Strategy
From Intensity Reduction to Absolute Net Zero
|
2009 – 2023 Results
Since our original 2009 Baseline (focused on Office and Travel), we have been reducing emissions and offsetting those we couldn't.
>90% Reduction
in emissions per £M turnover
This achievement marked the completion of our primary intensity-based reduction phase. |
2023 Forward Strategy
We have expanded our scope to include Full Scope 3 emissions (including Purchased Goods & Services).
New 2023 Baseline
Absolute Emission Targets
Our new comprehensive targets are focused on absolute reductions across our entire value chain to reach true Net Zero. |
Our Official Carbon Reduction Targets
(from a 2023 baseline)
Reduce our absolute carbon emissions by >43% by 2030. |
Achieve a >90% reduction in absolute emissions and reach true Net Zero by 2050 . |
How We Are Reducing Our Emissions
To hit our net zero targets, we are actively decarbonising every aspect of our business operations.
What we already have in place:

Tackling our largest emission sources
We have identified our primary emission hotspots and are taking direct action to decarbonise them.
A significant portion of our footprint arises from our team travelling to work and for on-site energy audits at customer sites.
The Action: Launching an EV Salary Sacrifice Scheme to support the transition to electric vehicles.
|
Decentralised energy use for hybrid working represents a core emission challenge.
The Action: Providing guidance and support for staff to switch to 100% renewable energy tariffs at home.
|
Our largest Scope 3 source sits within Purchased Goods & Services.
The Action: Moving from spend-based estimates to primary data pulled directly from suppliers, and then working with our key suppliers to help reduce their emissions.

Taking Responsibility Today
While we are intensely focused on reducing our own emissions and our long-term Net Zero journey, we recognise the vital importance of taking full responsibility for the emissions we generate today.
As an industry leader, we have moved our carbon management beyond traditional claims of "Carbon Neutrality." Every year, we make a proportionate financial contribution to global climate action. We do this by purchasing high-integrity, verified carbon credits to match the amount of carbon we have calculated, supporting vital environmental and community projects around the world.
Projects We Supported This Year
Investing in verified carbon removal and community based carbon avoidance projects globally.

Qianbei Afforestation Project
Located in Guizhou Province, China, this project focuses on restoring forest cover to sequester carbon and protect local biodiversity through large-scale afforestation efforts. |

Zambia Western Province Safe Water
Providing clean, safe water to rural communities. This reduces the need for wood-fired boiling, preventing deforestation and improving local health outcomes. |
... and we have funded the planting an additional 49 trees in Kenya - one to match each tonne of CO2e we emit. As these trees grow they will continue to remove additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for many years to come!
