Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Aireavu is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

Emissions reduction targets

As a small business (10-49 employees) we are working towards how best to measure and report baseline emissions, including greenhouse gases. We are assessing the SME Climate Commitment, an internationally recognised public commitment you can make to halve business emissions by 2030, reach net zero emissions by 2050 and report yearly on progress towards these goals.

As an SME, we are not required to report on Scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions. However, to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability we have had our climate impact independently verified by Impact Forecast. They have determined that our technology can save us and our clients over 1 million tonnes of C02 every 5 years.

In order to continue progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reducing practices. We project that carbon emissions will decrease by 35% within the next five years.

Carbon Reduction Projects

The following environmental management measures have been completed or implemented since establishing the business in 2023. We are a fully remote team so do not have a central office in regular use.

1. Adoption of Energy-Efficient Equipment: All employees have standards for energy-efficient laptops and monitors, reducing overall energy consumption.
2. Switch to Renewable Energy: The company has recommended green energy tariffs, ensuring that all electricity used by home-based workers is sourced from renewable energy.
3. Reduction in Business Travel: Policies have been implemented to minimise business travel, encouraging virtual meetings instead. This has significantly reduced emissions from travel.
4. Waste Reduction Initiatives: A company-wide initiative to go paperless has been successful, reducing waste and the carbon footprint associated with paper production and disposal.
5. Employee Engagement Programmes: Awareness sessions have been conducted to encourage sustainable practices among employees, such as energy-saving tips and waste reduction strategies.

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

1. ISO 14001 Certification: We plan to achieve ISO 14001 certification to ensure our environmental management systems are robust and effective.
2. Enhanced Energy Management: Implementing advanced energy management systems to monitor and reduce energy consumption further.
3. Carbon Offsetting: Investing in verified carbon offset projects to neutralize any remaining emissions.
4. Sustainable Procurement Policies: Ensuring that all office supplies and equipment are sourced from sustainable and environmentally friendly suppliers.
