Q5's commitment to achieving Net Zero

At Q5 we are committed to Net Zero emissions by 2035.

Our Net Zero target includes long-term and interim reduction targets created in line with science-based principles.

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

• Improving the quality and accuracy of our carbon data, using an automatic integration to Flotilla’s emissions calculation platform
• Refreshing our business travel policy, to ensure essential travel only and continuing virtual working where possible
• Maximising recycling and reducing waste across our offices
• Building awareness through our sustainability materiality assessment & report
• Refreshing our offsetting approach to focus on investing in removal technologies rather than neutrality
• Reducing individual impact through:
  • Continued partnership with Octopus Electric Vehicles for EV leasing
  • Reducing car use through the Cycle to Work Scheme

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

• Validate our reduction targets through SBTi
• Introduce a travel cap
• Improve supplier data gathering, including hotels and travel, to move from spend-based to activity-based measurement
• Develop a low-carbon procurement policy & supplier list for our top five spend categories, including:
  • Continue building sufficient scale in all offices to reduce the need for international travel
