Some of our Clients
Realising our own Positive Power
Our Net Zero Roadmap
We’ve worked hard to put in place mechanisms to help us understand, measure and address environmental impacts across our business.
As a signatory of Race to Zero – the UN’s global climate change campaign to rally leadership and support from businesses, cities, regions and investors – we have developed an internal Social and Environmental Sustainability Strategy, undertaken baseline emissions accounting and established clear net zero targets as follows (where * is relative to our 2019 baseline):
- A 25% reduction* in full scope emissions by 2028, our own target to ensure we are on track.
- A 50% reduction* in full scope emissions by 2030, on the road to achieving net zero* by 2045, in line with the Scottish Government’s national target.
Our approach to net zero is built on emissions and impact avoidance and reduction, rather than offsetting. We allow only 10% offsets for unavoidable emissions associated with our operations.
Our specific Net Zero Roadmap is now modelled on the learnings from our emissions baseline. For example, we now understand that while our Scope 1 & 2 operations only account for 3% of our emissions, our Scope 3 operations account for 97% and are dominated by purchases we make on behalf of our own and our clients’ operations.
As such, our Net Zero Roadmap is focused on the development of a body of internal and client engagement processes and principles relating to service and materials sourcing.

COP26 Legacy
____
As Creative Lead for the Green Zone at COP26, we developed advanced knowledge and experience in producing event and marketing collateral in a lower impact way. This experience has led us to be commissioned in producing, and continuing to update, Sustainable Marketing Guides to help clients to evolve their approach to a wide range of marketing production.
In a fast-changing world, we value meaningful progress, not perfection, and are committed to continually evolve our approach, both for ourselves and our clients.
