Four Years of Planet Mark

PM 4th Year

There is no doubt we are living in a crucial moment in time. Action on the climate crisis has never been more critical. With our net-zero targets, we are paving the way for more sustainable operations, adapting our business for a brighter future.

We are pleased to announce our 4th-year certification with Planet Mark – our partner in sustainability consulting and certification. The Planet Mark certification recognises continuous improvement surrounding sustainability and carbon reduction. As part of our yearly renewal, we must present in-depth data on our operations and reduce our carbon emissions by a minimum of 5% year-on-year.

Ending our fourth year (2022) with total carbon emissions of 18.7 tonnes was a great achievement. This represents a 58.44% reduction from where we first started in 2019.
