Activities
 We have joined the Go Climate Positive certification programmeWe have joined the "Go Climate Positive" carbon certification programme and achieved the "Carbon Footprint" certificate, which attests that we have calculated our full Scope 1, 2 & 3 carbon footprint and have defined a carbon reduction plan aligned with the global goal to limit global warming to 1.5℃ |  We will fit a timer to office heatingWe have committed to fit a heating time to ensure the heating is turned off when the office is not in use to enable us to save energy through the night and over weekends. |
‘Go Climate Positive’ is a membership programme that makes it easy for businesses to calculate, reduce and offset their carbon emissions. It is designed to adhere to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and Corporate Value Chain Standard.
