Understanding and reducing our environmental impact
As a data and analytics company, our products are created and distributed digitally. Our carbon footprint is therefore considerably smaller than for many companies of a similar size.
Despite the structural benefits we have as a digital business, we are committed to minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment.
The disruptions of Covid-19 created an opportunity to reconsider the way we work and change policies and behaviors for the benefit of colleagues, the business and the planet. We are striving to reduce the use of nonrenewable resources, find cleaner energy sources, and manage our offices with maximum environmental efficiency.
We are refining procurement processes to ensure that suppliers are also acting responsibly. We continue to listen to colleagues, investors and other stakeholders to ensure our policies reflect their concerns. We monitor energy use in line with regulations, constantly seeking ways to reduce our carbon emissions.
Climate Commitments
We are committed to establishing a net-zero strategy and accelerate the roadmap of actions that will get us there.
Our first step has been to join the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), with a view to set our new targets in the coming months and join the hundreds of companies that have pledged to reduce emissions.
We have recently engaged with an independent consulting firm to undertake a global assessment of our carbon emissions across all GlobalData offices. We will be working with this team to understand how to cut our environmental impact and develop a net-zero strategy and a roadmap that will help mitigate the carbon footprint of our operations across the world.
