A message from our Group Chief Executive, Mark Irwin, on World Environment Day 2024: 🌎 Serco’s purpose is to impact a better future, and environmental sustainability goes to the very heart of that. Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we are renewing our commitment to drive progress in meaningful ways to address climate change. Impact is front and centre in everything we do, and as Serco’s Group Chief Executive, I see that determination to make a positive difference and have a real impact right across Serco, in every colleague I meet and every worksite I visit. We’ve recently refocused our ambitions for the environment and wider approach to ESG, pledging to measure our positive impact on People, Place and Planet. Under Planet, we’re committed to reducing our carbon emissions under the Science Based Targets initiative. I’m happy to say we’re making good progress towards our net zero goal: Our carbon emissions from our operations fell 18.4% between 2022 and 2023 📉 47% of our total electricity usage is renewably sourced, up from 27% in 2022 ⚡ Electric & hybrid vehicles now make up nearly a third of our fleet 🚗 We know there’s more to do and we’re laser-focused on continuing to drive down our carbon emissions, contributing to the net zero and nature recovery ambitions of our value chain partners, and reducing our environmental footprint. Find out more about how we’re impacting a greener future by going to www.serco.com and visiting our Impact Hub, or read about our wider impact in our Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/eWeWKVAC #ImpactABetterFuture #WorldEnvironmentDay #Serco #GenerationRestoration

For organisations who are serious about meeting their #NetZero obligations, having a #GreenhouseGas (GHG) inventory verified is critical to ensuring all emission data reported is correct - and also sets the tone for the trajectory of #decarbonisation by identifying methods of front-loaded emission reduction. To support clients through their net zero journey, Sweco can provide verification planning, 360-degree emissions reviews, record auditing, reporting and validation services for complete peace of mind – as well as documented assessments for outward credibility. Recently, CALA MANAGEMENT LIMITED commissioned #SwecoUK to provide independent verification of its annual Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions, and other sustainability data, to meet the requirements of a Sustainability Linked Loan (SLL) facility. Kathryn Dapre, Head of Sustainability at Cala Group says: "Sweco provided an excellent service throughout the verification process. Communication lines were clear, with project roles defined and a single point of contact throughout. A project plan was produced quickly and all deliverable dates were met as scheduled. The verification process was robust, but fair, with full transparency throughout the process. The final project deliverables were on time and produced to a high quality. Based on the strength of Sweco’s work, we have commissioned them to provide this service annually for the remainder of the loan period. We very much look forward to working with them In the future – I have no hesitation in recommending Sweco UK for similar projects."

🌎 To reduce the impact of its IT activities, #VINCIEnergies is seeking to increase equipment lifespan and to tighten requirements for suppliers. Repairs are systematically carried out wherever possible 💻 Dominique Tessaro, VINCI Energies Information Systems director, explains. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e6VWazJq 💬 "The IS department’s strategy is based on one key action: to extend equipment lifespan. We stretched the average renewal frequency of workstations from three years to three and a half years, then to four years, then to four and a half years… And today, there’s no limit," he explains. #VINCI has made the environment a strategic priority in a bid to address the climate emergency. It comes as no surprise that VINCI Energies has aligned with the Group’s environmental ambition across three main areas: ✅ Act for the climate ✅ Optimise resources thanks to circular economy ✅ Preserve natural environments Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ewjXZ5-e

It’s good that energy engineers are committed to energy efficiency. I assume they were already. What I’d like to understand is the real-life plans (if any) to support this worthy call. If you are an AEE member in Ohio (and elsewhere), where do you go from here? How do you take energy efficiency to those who would benefit? Goals are great, but plans for getting it done make it happen.
We have pledged our support for the call of action for Mission Efficiency. Our network of over 30,000 #EnergyEngineers are critical to doubling #EnergyEfficiency. We will continue to increase the number of certified and qualified energy efficiency professionals around the world, and together we can meet this challenge. Thanks to Mission Efficiency, Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE), and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) for the leadership on this initiative presented at #COP28. Catch up on the press conference here: https://loom.ly/XoeQPTs

We’re glad to share that Singtel is the first Southeast Asian telecommunications company to achieve the top “A” rating on global non-profit CDP’s Climate Change A List! Aileen Tan, Singtel’s Group Chief People and Sustainability Officer, said, “We are honoured to be the first Southeast Asian telecommunications company to achieve CDP’s ‘A’ rating which affirms our longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship. We have continued to build on our decarbonisation efforts, most recently refreshing our SBTi-approved targets to further reduce our carbon footprint, and moving up our net zero target to 2045, the only Asian telco to set such an ambitious goal ahead of 2050. These achievements are only possible with the support of our supply chain partners and regional associates, and we will continue to engage them closely to ensure a more liveable world for future generations.” Singtel's placement on the list is a testament to our comprehensive sustainability strategy, which focuses on reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, and transitioning to the use of renewable energy sources. Since 2015, we’ve invested S$150 million in various climate mitigation initiatives including using renewable energy, facilitating e-waste recycling, optimising its network energy usage through AI and machine learning, and transitioning to an electric vehicle fleet. In addition to reducing our own emissions, we’re strengthening climate action across its ecosystem, by engaging our supply chain partners to encourage them to strengthen their disclosures and step up their climate action, and supporting our regional associates’ decarbonisation initiatives.
