Our Net Zero Commitment

How we're playing our part to save our planet

We will reduce our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in line with climate science to limit warming to 1.5°C as the world transitions to a zero-carbon economy through working with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

We will reduce our absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2025 from a 2020 base year and measure and reduce our scope 3 emissions.

As a certified B Corp, minimising our negative environmental impact is a priority. In 2022, we joined the B Corp Climate Collective and committed to achieving net zero by 2030. This is 20 years ahead of the 2050 target set out by the Paris Agreement.

So, what is a B Corp?

Practising what we preach

B Corporations (or B Corps) are a growing group of companies who are reinventing business, by pursuing purpose as well as profit. Optimised has been certified by B Lab (the not for profit behind the B Corp movement) as having met rigorous social and environmental standards which represent its commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit.

Simply put, certified B Corps are companies who are committed to prioritising the environment and society in the way they do business.
