Sustainable Energy First Sustainability Actions

Set science-based targets

We have set our own Science-Based Target (in-line with SBTi). Find out more about how we will be reducing our clients carbon footprint by 327,170 tonnes of CO2e.

Carbon neutral in 2022

This means that we will purchase “high quality” offsets to cover our current emissions. This will be as compensation until we can meet net zero through clean energy and demand reduction measures.

Office energy electrified

We have already electrified our own office’s energy usage for heating/cooling; no natural gas is delivered or used at site at all. We already purchase green only electricity for our office, and to gain greater additionality for net zero we are exploring options for onsite solar generation and battery storage.

Introduced staff EV scheme

Sustainable Energy First has introduced initiatives to help staff reduce their own carbon footprints, including a salary sacrifice electric vehicle scheme. The company continues to explore training, tools and incentives to support leadership on an individual basis.
