We are proud to be Carbon Neutral! 🌿⭐ Over the past few months, we have been working with Carbon Neutral Britain™ to offset our carbon emissions, through the support of United Nations, Verra, and Gold Standard certified offsetting initiatives. The digital sector is one that is often overlooked in sustainability discussions, however the industry accounts for over 10% of European energy consumption. The offsetting of our carbon emissions is an exciting step forward in our sustainability journey, and we are proud to be contributing towards the reduction of emissions within the tech/digital sector 🌎 If you would like to find out more about our sustainability journey, including our carbon reduction plan, and our journey to being carbon neutral, you can take a look here: https://lnkd.in/e7a5xQTd #Sustainability #CarbonNeutral #DigitalTransformation #DigitalAgency

Reading Room are officially Carbon Neutral! 🎉 It has been a pleasure to work with Carbon Neutral Britain™ on the calculation and offsetting of our carbon emissions over the past few months! This comprehensive process involved the calculation of our scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions, and then the offsetting of these via a range of fantastic renewable energy projects. We also worked with Carbon Neutral Britain to develop a strategic Carbon Reduction Plan, which we have begun to implement right away. Its easy to forget that both the internet, and the digital industry as a whole, are not 'virtual', they are powered by power-hungry data centres across the globe. These emissions often go unnoticed, and therefore it is vital that organisations and individuals in the industry take steps to make a positive difference. This Carbon Neutral Certification is a huge step forward for Reading Room, and is just one of the ways we are contributing towards the reduction of emissions within the tech/digital sector. Our new Carbon Reduction Plan will help us to reduce our emissions even further, in coming months and years. A huge thank you and well done to all of the team involved 👏 #Sustainability #CarbonNeutral #Marketing #DigitalAgency

The Profitability of Sustainability: Why Net-Zero is the New Bottom Line The climate crisis isn't just an environmental issue – it's a financial one. A report by the Institute of Energy (IE) warns that a 1°C rise in global temperature could lead to a staggering 12% decline in world GDP after just six years, with no full recovery even a decade later [1]. Considering the global average temperature has already risen by about 1°C since pre-industrial times, the urgency to act is undeniable [2]. The good news: transitioning to net-zero emissions isn't just good for the planet, it's good for business. Here's why: Reduced Costs: Energy efficiency is a key pillar of net-zero strategies. By investing in renewable energy sources and optimizing operations, companies can significantly reduce their energy consumption and dependence on fossil fuels, leading to long-term cost savings. Enhanced Brand Reputation: Consumers are increasingly making purchasing decisions based on a company's environmental commitment. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability strengthens brand reputation, attracts environmentally conscious customers, and fosters employee loyalty. Future-Proofing: Regulations around carbon emissions are constantly tightening. By taking proactive steps towards net-zero, companies can avoid the risk of being penalized for non-compliance and ensure long-term operational viability. Becoming net-zero isn't just about saving the planet, it's about securing your company's future. What can you do? Set ambitious sustainability goals: Don't just aim for compliance, aim for leadership. Invest in renewable energy: Explore solar, wind, or geothermal options to power your operations. Optimize your operations: Identify and address inefficiencies that contribute to waste and excess emissions. Offset your remaining emissions: Support high-quality carbon offset projects to neutralize your unavoidable emissions. Let's work together to build a profitable and sustainable future for all. #NetZero #Sustainability #ClimateAction References: Institute of Energy (IE) Report: https://lnkd.in/ec5R4dYp Link to a source on Global Mean Temperature Increase: https://lnkd.in/e4GBtZKj Book a free call with Green Mentor today and powerup with sustainability: https://lnkd.in/e345PnAW

International Telecommunication Union and World Benchmarking Alliance report released last week "Greening Digital Companies 2024: Monitoring emissions and climate commitments" provides great insights 👇🏾 🌱 Empowering a Greener Digital Future: As the digital sector continues to grow, energy consumption and GHG emissions are increasing across 200 companies. We must reverse this trend! 📉 Need to Improve Transparency for great impact: Only 75 companies fully disclose Scope 3 emissions, which are six times greater than operational emissions, highlighting a critical gap in reporting. 🤖 AI Innovation & Sustainability: The rapid development of AI presents challenges, but also exciting opportunities to innovate energy-efficient solutions. The digital sector can lead the way in optimizing AI’s environmental impact. 🌍 Stronger Commitments to Climate Goals: 42 companies are already committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions across all categories. By building on this momentum, we can accelerate our progress toward a net-zero future. 🔋 Renewable Energy Disparities: Companies like Amazon and Microsoft source 100% renewable electricity but often can't access it where it's needed most. A global, balanced approach is essential. The future is digital and sustainable—it's time for the digital sector to lead the way to net-zero!
