Our Net Zero commitment
Our Tech Zero pledge – We’re committed to net zero
At Giki Social Enterprise, we’re committing to reach net zero emissions. We did it in 2020 and we intend to keep doing it!
This means limiting our company’s carbon footprint in line with keeping global warming to below 1.5°C – the critical level of heating to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
The commitments we’re making
As part of our net zero commitment, we will:
- Measure all our global organisation’s greenhouse gas emissions, including scope 3, and report them publicly each year.
- Publish more details about how we plan to reach net zero by the end of 2021.
- Appoint a member of our executive team to be responsible and accountable for our net zero target.
- Communicate our climate commitments in other meaningful ways, including to our customers.
- Report our progress on short and medium term targets to our Board annually, and on our website.
