We're Planet Mark Certified
19 January 2024
We are proud to have achieved Planet Mark certification, marking another important milestone in our sustainability journey. This certification reinforces our commitment to reducing environmental impact across our operations and building a more responsible, transparent business.
What Planet Mark certification means
Planet Mark is an internationally recognised sustainability certification that supports organisations in measuring, reducing, and reporting their carbon footprint.
It focuses on continuous improvement rather than one-time compliance, helping businesses take meaningful and measurable action.
The certification process is built around three core principles:
- Measuring environmental impact
- Engaging employees across the business
- Communicating progress transparently
This approach ensures sustainability is embedded into day-to-day operations rather than treated as a standalone initiative.
Measuring our carbon footprint
As part of the certification process, we have measured our carbon footprint across key operational areas, including:
- Electricity usage
- Business travel
- Waste management
- Water consumption
- Procurement and supply chain activity
This comprehensive assessment provides a clear baseline for understanding our environmental impact and identifying opportunities for reduction.
We will continue to take responsibility for these emissions and work towards meaningful reductions year on year.
Setting clear reduction targets
As part of our ongoing commitment, we have set a target to reduce carbon emissions by 5%, measured across our core operational categories and per employee.
This forms part of a wider strategy to continuously improve efficiency, reduce waste, and lower our overall environmental impact.
Carbon reduction is not a one-off goal, it is an ongoing process integrated into how we operate as a business.
Alignment with global sustainability goals
We are also contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
These global goals provide a shared framework for addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges, including climate action and responsible consumption.
By aligning our strategy with the SDGs, we ensure our sustainability efforts contribute to wider global progress, not just internal improvements.
A business-wide commitment
Achieving Planet Mark certification has been a company-wide effort.
Every part of the organisation has played a role in measuring impact, improving processes, and supporting more sustainable ways of working.
This collective responsibility ensures that sustainability is not driven by a single team, but embedded across the entire business.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on:
- Reducing carbon emissions across all operations
- Improving efficiency in sourcing and logistics
- Increasing transparency in reporting
- Encouraging sustainable practices across our supply chain
