Establishing the baseline
This is the biggest challenge for any company looking to measure, record and reduce their ongoing impact on the environment. We are currently looking at the standards that are being set internationally, and the technology that is available to find simple approaches to gathering the information. As noted above, we are planning to measure our current outputs/uses of:
- Office waste and recycling
- Corporate travel
- Commuting to the office
- Philanthropy in our community through donation, volunteering and mentorship
- Understanding and committing to a carbon offsetting mechanism
- Setting targets for 2023
