海角视频

As a growing international design and advisory business with sustainability at the core of what we do, at 海角视频 we are committed to reducing the carbon impact of our work in line with the science-based decarbonisation goals of the Paris Agreement.

Our climate impacts result from both our client projects and our internal business operations. Our goals and commitments for reducing the operational and embodied carbon emissions of our client project portfolio is set out in our Net Zero Routemap. Through the routemap we will lead and support our clients to unlock the financial and sustainability benefits of designing and delivering the net zero built environment we need to secure a safe and equitable future.

We also want to lead by example, by measuring and working to reduce all aspects of 海角视频 business operations that add carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. These emissions include energy use and waste generated in our offices and homeworking, our commuting and business travel, and the goods and services we procure.

海角视频 has adopted the Greenhouse Gas Protocol corporate accounting standard for measuring and reporting our emissions. We include direct emissions from fossil fuel combustion for office heating (Scope 1), indirect emissions from the electricity we directly procure to power, heat and cool our office buildings (Scope 2) and other indirect emissions from our business and supply chain (Scope 3).

What are our goals for our own operations?

We have set a target to achieve net zero operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2045. As a route to this long-term goal we have also set a number of near-term targets which have been verified by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) as being in line with the SBTi corporate Net Zero Standard.

For Scope 1 and 2, our targets will see the reduction of absolute GHG emissions by 21% by FY2025 compared with FY2020, and the sourcing of 100% renewable electricity by the same year.

In Scope 3 we are targeting a 52.6% reduction in business and commuter travel GHG emissions intensity per full-time equivalent staff member by FY2028 compared with FY2020.

We have also set a target for 50% of our suppliers by spend to have committed to science based GHG reduction targets by FY2028. Our Scope 1 and 2 targets have been classified by the SBTi as being consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5C by mid-century and form part of our support for the  through the Business Ambition for 1.5C campaign.

How are we doing?

Our emissions performance for the most recent full financial year 2024-25 is shown below. Our GHG accounts have been independently audited by Carbon Footprint Ltd in accordance with the ISO 14064 Part 3 (2019): Greenhouse Gases: Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements standard.

Scope 1 and 2 emissions

Overall, we have reduced Scope 1 and (market-based) Scope 2 emissions by 21% since 2020 through energy efficiency measures, office moves and increased purchase of renewable electricity. For FY 2024-25, 100% of our directly purchased office electricity consumption is covered by renewable energy certificates. Across our offices, we continue to take opportunities to reduce energy consumption as part of our regular maintenance schedule including energy efficient lighting and equipment replacement and upgrades. Responsibilities for 海角视频 employees to reduce energy consumption and emissions are set out in our Sustainability Policy and included within mandatory employee training on our Environmental Management System which is certified to the ISO14001:2015 standard.

Based on energy audits carried out across 海角视频 UK offices in line with Phase 3 of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), we have developed an action plan of measures to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions across these offices where we have operational control. This action plan has been submitted to the UK Environment Agency portal and a progress report will be submitted in December 2025.

We are continuing with several energy efficiency and emissions reduction initiatives including:

• Carbon awareness training covering the main sources of emissions and how employees can make positive contributions to reducing these through their roles. 
• Including energy efficiency and GHG emissions as key material factors in the selection of new or replacement office space/buildings and conducting post-occupancy evaluations of energy use to identify opportunities for improvement.  
• Managing our office capacity across the UK to ensure that we are utilising our offices to the most efficient levels by regularly monitoring energy consumption. We are in the process of gaining NABERS UK accreditation for our London Featherstone office.  

Scope 3

Around 65% of our GHG footprint relates to the embodied emissions from the goods and services we buy, including from sub-consultants engaged in project delivery. We have established that 34% of our spend on goods and services in FY24-25 was from suppliers that have science-based GHG emissions reduction targets in place, up from 33% for the previous year. In line with our own SBTi target we will continue to engage with our sub-consultants and suppliers to encourage and support the remainder to set targets of their own.

As a global design and advisory business, connecting with our clients is key for us. The way that we travel to meet with our clients and to stay connected between our growing number of offices will continue to require us to travel. Driven by global business growth our business travel emissions have increased compared to our baseline and since the low of 2020-21. However, actions to review and control business travel emissions has resulted in a reduction in overall emissions compared to the previous financial year. Business travel emissions intensity per employee FTE has also reduced from our baseline year (1.6 compared to 2.4 tCO2e) and remains on target. We will continue to minimise travel where possible through smarter, virtual ways of meeting. We will work through regional management teams to review business travel emissions and continue to encourage 鈥榗limate-conscious鈥� business travel choices, including through improved guidance within our relaunched Global Travel Policy.
