Mane Frame / Our commitments
Net zero strategy
Lower-impact consulting. Responsible technology.
We aim to reduce the environmental impact of our own consultancy operations and work towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, aligned with the UK government’s national ambition. Our approach is to understand our footprint, prioritise practical reductions and be transparent about progress.
Our long-term ambition / UK alignment
Work towards net zero emissions by 2050.
This is a forward-looking company strategy, not a record of achieved reductions. A verified emissions baseline and interim reduction targets are not yet published. This page is not a PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan.
Our reduction priorities
Practical priorities for a technology consultancy. Reductions come first; claims must be supported by evidence.
- 01 //
Understand our emissions
Establish an appropriate reporting boundary covering direct emissions, purchased energy and relevant indirect emissions. Identify data needs for business travel, commuting, purchased services, equipment and waste before setting a baseline.
MeasureAn emissions inventory in tonnes of CO₂e, with the reporting period, boundaries, methods and data limitations disclosed.
- 02 //
Reduce unnecessary travel
Use remote collaboration where it meets client needs. Where site attendance is necessary, consider rail and public transport where practical, while respecting security, accessibility and delivery requirements.
MeasureBusiness travel activity and associated emissions, rather than unsupported claims about journeys avoided.
- 03 //
Use technology responsibly
Consider energy efficiency, supplier environmental information and right-sized digital services. Extend equipment life where secure and practical, and use responsible reuse and recycling when devices reach end of life.
MeasureEquipment purchases, reuse and disposal records, together with available energy and digital supplier data.
- 04 //
Make informed purchasing decisions
Consider environmental impact alongside security, quality and value when selecting suppliers. Seek proportionate evidence rather than assuming every cloud service or purchase is carbon neutral.
MeasureSupplier information and documented environmental considerations in purchasing decisions.
Evidence and accountability
- 01 //
Baseline before percentages
Set measurable interim reduction targets once a reliable baseline is available. The UK’s national target uses a 1990 baseline; we will not present that national baseline as our company’s own.
- 02 //
Review and report
Our intended reporting approach is an annual review of emissions, reduction actions and data quality, with progress published when supported by reliable records. We will distinguish estimates from verified information.
- 03 //
Meet contract-specific requirements
Where a procurement requires a Carbon Reduction Plan, prepare a separate plan against the applicable PPN 006 requirements, with the required emissions disclosures and approval. This strategy alone is not evidence of procurement compliance.
Policy alignment
UK government references informing our approach. Alignment is not an accreditation or endorsement.
