Our sustainability story
Since 2019, we’ve been driven by the idea that you can improve what you can measure. This is the underlying notion in all parts of our business, including our sustainability journey.
From measure to minimise.
Last year we published our very first Impact Report that was both an internal blueprint for improvement and an external commitment to a sustainable future; maintaining a level of transparency aligned with our company ethos.
With 12 months of company emissions data, our Sustainability Committee has been able to implement strategies to try to reduce our impact across our supply chain and embed sustainable initiatives across the whole company.
Measure
The Impact Report is a measure of all our company emissions across our supply chain, utility bills, employee commuting, business travel and product use. The findings served as a foundation on which we based our emission reduction roadmap.
Reduce
We've developed an internal emission reduction roadmap, which outlines steps that will be taken on our path towards net zero emissions by 2030: a >90% reduction in total emissions, minimising the use of offsets as much as possible.
Enable
Our own sustainability journey had the ripple effect of evolving the Metrikus solution as whole. We are now helping other companies to measure and reduce their own environmental impacts using our platform.
By automating the collection of real-time environmental metrics, we are able to use our data aggregation software to provide insights that reduce resource consumption across entire building portfolios.
Remove
We've worked with Patch to remove 100% of our historical emissions using high quality carbon removal projects. This includes all emissions since we started operating as a business in 2019.
