Founding Director Foreword
Founding Director Foreword continued
Our accomplishments - we've expanded our services and knowledge base, adapted to working from home, and made significant progress towards our SDGs.
Project Work - We have been supporting our clients to comply with SECR and to develop Net Zero strategies. Our plans for 2021 see us branching out into new sectors as well as building on existing partnerships.
Zero Waste Scotland Energy Efficiency Business Support - We are one of Zero Waste Scotland's framework contractors and continue to support Scottish SMEs in identifying energy efficiency opportunities. In 2020, we delivered 133 Resource Efficiency Projects, for a total of 0.84 Million £ potential cost savings and 2315 tonnes of CO2 reduction.
Our collaborations - We continue to value and build on our existing relationships while starting new productive collaborations.
Our progress towards our sustainable development goals - our three most impactful SDGs are 7, 12, and 13 due to the nature of our work. We are continuing to do well in these, but we want to challenge ourselves to look beyond them to areas we can improve on.
Our progress towards our target SDGs - Last year, we chose SDGs 4, 5, 8 and 10 as our target SDGs; in 2020, we have managed to improve our score in each of them despite the additional challenges of the year.
Being a value led business, we want to go beyond what our B Corp Assessment and SDG tracker can measure. For us, this currently means focusing on improving our accessibility through our accessibility pilot and by better supporting our team's mental health with our new wellbeing policy.
Beyond Green and Net Zero - as a small business, there are three different ways in which we can support the move towards Net Zero: Our Advocacy, our support of our clients, and our performance. Our advocacy encompasses team members volunteering and using their knowledge to help drive change outside of work. Our support includes the work we do in helping businesses plan for Net Zero.
Our Progress towards Net Zero - in terms of our performance, moving to working from home has reduced our carbon impact from 7 tCO2e in 2019 to 3.7 tCO2e.
