Environment
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the UK and Welsh Governments’ ambition to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.
We prepare and maintain a Carbon Reduction Plan in accordance with PPN 06/21, the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework, and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, with targets aligned to the principles of the Science Based Targets initiative. For more information, you can read our plan in full here.
Our baseline and progress
Our baseline year is FY2024 (August 2023 to July 2024), which represents the first year of reporting under this Plan. The baseline includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, together with material Scope 3 emissions relevant to a professional services firm, including procurement, business travel, employee commuting, waste, water, and downstream transport. Where complete landlord data is not available, we apply a conservative estimation approach.
Following the implementation of key initiatives during FY2025, we update our emissions assessment using the same scope and methodology as the baseline year to ensure consistency and transparency.
- Total baseline emissions (FY2024): 660.1 tCO₂e
- Total estimated emissions (FY2025): 556.4 tCO₂e
This represents an estimated year‑on‑year reduction of approximately 16% in total carbon emissions. This reduction is driven by consolidation of office space, reduced business travel, improved energy efficiency, and lower procurement‑related emissions.
Our commitments
We are committed to:
- achieving a further 20% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030
- reducing total emissions by 50% by 2035
- achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050
Our Carbon Reduction Plan is approved by senior management and reviewed annually.
