Case Study Offsetting Policy

Last year we release our corporate NZC pathway which detailed our approach to achieving NZC by 2035 to address the impact that our business and managed strategies have upon people, planet and communities.

Within this target we have established individual goals for each strategy and for our corporate emissions.

We recognise that we have a responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint to help mitigate climate change. While we are committed to reducing our emissions wherever possible some emissions remain unavoidable, at least in the near term. To address this, we have developed a carbon offsetting policy that focuses on UK-nature based carbon offsets. To further support our decarbonisation, we commit to offset a maximum of 10% of our operational 2021 baseline emissions from 2030 at the earliest.

We believe that investing in UK-nature based carbon offsets is an effective way to support local ecosystems, promote biodiversity and mitigate climate change. By investing in resources, we can help to sequester carbon and offset our currently unavoidable emissions while also supporting the UK’s ecological health.
