Our Climate Change and Sustainability (CC&S) committee has been driving internal initiatives and has made great progress, including: Baselining our carbon emissions in 2019 Creating a calculator to track our continued progress Significantly reducing our carbon emissions since 2019 Moving to hybrid working and a reduction in consultant travel Transforming to a paperless office, as well as a reduction in single-use plastic Continuing WEEE (Waste, Electrical and Electronic Equipment) waste collection. Our Head Office move at the start of 2023 further enhances our alignment with climate- related activities, as our new building comes equipped with a solar panel roof, full recycling services and electric car chargers – which aligns to our introduction of tax efficient salary sacrifice electric vehicle and cycle to work schemes.
The Climate Change and Sustainability agenda remains one that is going to command significant corporate investment to enable businesses to reduce their carbon emissions and drive up their levels of sustainability. The change and transformation agenda that will be formed to address this topic will be complex and will require project and programme management skills and experience to orchestrate the required execution. Our focus is on supporting our customers with actioning their Climate Change and Sustainability agenda. We have launched a comprehensive sales campaign and will continue to develop this throughout 2023. In Q4-2022, we published an article and video in the Business Reporter and The Independent newspaper in ‘The future of responsible business’ report. You can read this here. We continue to play an active role sitting on the BiTC Net Zero Carbon Taskforce and the Tactical Advisory Group since 2019. BiTC is a British business-community outreach charity promoting responsible business and is one of the Prince’s Charities of King Charles III. BiTC works with companies in the UK and internationally, who are committed to improving their impact on society. The role of the taskforce is to shape the executional agenda for their members. Our position within BiTC enables us to have access to several senior stakeholders within our target customer base. 2022 saw our first Climate Change and Sustainability related customer engagement, where we led the introduction of programme management, governance and planning for the BAE Systems Net Zero Carbon Transformation Programme.
Climate Change and Sustainability
Climate change has become the defining priority of our time. All organisations must play their part in this journey over the coming decades. COP27 made little progress, with Nations backtracking on their targets and previous commitments. Project One continues to focus on this enterprise-wide topic, taking both an internal and external perspective. Our plans for 2023 and beyond are to grow a portfolio of Climate Change and Sustainability related transformation engagements, supporting our customers on their carbon reduction journey.
