Where possible, primary data has been sourced (meter readings and supplier invoices), but where actual energy figures are not available a reasonable approximation has been used to estimate energy usage. There has been a continuation of the existing strategy to reduce the physical number of computers to consolidate into more efficient servers where possible. A senior manager has been appointed to head up and implement group-wide sustainability initiatives, including to reduce energy consumption across the Groups offices. The Company continues to partner with Ecologi, the platform that facilitates the funding of carbon offset projects and tree planting around the world, to offset its carbon footprint. Since October 2021, the Group has been working towards compensating for the environmental footprint of every employee in their work and personal life. At work, the Group is implementing policies to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 footprint such as sourcing renewable energy and low-carbon travel, and is talking with supply chains to measure and push down on Scope 3 carbon footprint. Through the partnership with Ecologi, the Group offsets the carbon footprint of all Group employees, whether at home or at work.
