NET ZERO COMMITMENT STATEMENT

10 June, 2021

Good Business recognises the urgency of the climate emergency. In 2021, we became a net zero business, joining a progressive community of organisations that are taking action to create a net zero global economy, in line with what climate science and the IPCC have advised is necessary to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

In 2021 we have:

  • Completed a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory calculation of our business in accordance with the requirements of the GHG Protocol
  • Agreed an ambitious GHG reduction target in line with what the Science Based Target initiative state is required to restrict warming to less than 1.5°c
  • Purchased certified carbon credits equivalent to our entire inventory in the accounting year, composed of 60 percent coming from sequestration projects and 40 percent avoidance projects.
  • Transparently published details of all these actions and our ongoing commitment

We hereby pledge to continue to play our part in the net zero economy – taking action to reduce our climate impact, calculating our emissions annually and purchasing certified carbon sequestration credits to preserve our status as a net zero business.
