Ategi’s ambition to be Future Fit!

We're developing of a new Carbon Reduction Plan, a strategic initiative designed to enhance our sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our commitment to this cause is reflected in a plan that outlines clear steps towards achieving our goals. We have completed our baseline assessment, which measures our carbon footprint across all operations. This step provides us with a clear understanding of our starting point and the areas where we can make the most significant impact.

Our immediate objective is to reduce emissions by 10% within the first year. Looking further ahead, we are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with government targets. These ambitious goals reflect our dedication to a sustainable future.

We are revamping our recycling programs across all offices and pushing towards digital documentation to minimise paper use. This shift not only reduces waste but also streamlines our processes, making us more efficient. To optimise energy use, we will upgrade to LED lighting, improve building insulation, and install smart thermostats. These changes will significantly reduce our energy consumption and contribute to our carbon reduction targets. We are actively seeking funding to install solar panels and transition to 100% renewable energy providers. This shift will reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and promote the use of clean energy. We are encouraging the use of public transport and car sharing is another critical aspect of our plan. By promoting these options, we aim to reduce the carbon emissions associated with employee commutes.

We are embracing the principles of a circular economy, we will prioritise local sourcing. This approach supports local businesses and reduces transport emissions, furthering our sustainability efforts. We recognise the importance of engaging our team in our sustainability efforts. To this end, we will form a "Green Champions" team dedicated to supporting sustainability practices across all areas of our work. Their leadership will be crucial to our success.

Accountability and transparency are key to our approach. We will conduct regular reviews and publish annual sustainability reports to track our progress and ensure we stay on course. Collaboration is essential to driving widespread change. We plan to work with other organisations to spread awareness and promote sustainable practices within the community.

We are committed to being "future fit". Our Carbon Reduction Plan is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and our role in building a greener future.
