We are in a Climate and Environmental Emergency, with time running out to address the many challenges that lie in front of us. 

​

'Pledge to Net Zero' has been established to commit organisations from the environmental sector to take a leadership role in the transition to a Net Zero carbon economy.

​

​

Pledge signatories commit to the following:

1.    Set and commit to deliver greenhouse gas reductions in line with Science Based Targets’ 1.5°C climate change scenario.  For those in the environmental consultancy sector it must cover buildings and travel as a minimum.  
2.    Publicly report greenhouse gas emissions and progress against this target each year.
3.    Publish one piece of research/thought-leadership each year on practical steps to delivering an economy in line with climate science and in support of net zero carbon. Alternatively, signatories may choose to provide mentoring and support for smaller signatory companies in setting targets, reporting and meeting the requirements of the pledge.
