Project Objectives

The objective of the GreenPlus project was to co-create and develop a well-informed and clear pathway to deliver our environmental commitment to Net Zero emissions in our operations by 2025 and across our value chain by 2035. 

As a professional services company, over 80% of our emissions are in our people or "work-related" emissions. Developing an Environmental strategy and timebound Climate Action Plan needed to be underpinned by an active employee engagement programme to enable behavioural change.

Results

• A time-bound Climate Action Plan with over 25 separate initiatives and targets
• Monthly employee engagement programme
• B Score in our first CDP response

Impact

“By coming together to face the biggest challenge of our lifetime, we can make a difference. With a little input from a lot of people, we can create real and tangible change. We hope that our efforts to reduce emissions and collaborate to be part of the climate solution will prove that Version 1 is not just a company setting targets, but setting the standard.”
