Green Pledge

In 2021 we made 5 Green pledges. We updated these 6-Sep-2023 and intend to now update annually.

We’d like your feedback on our pledges as we continue to learn how to be even Greener.

And our consultants have created a shared list of the personal changes they are making.

Our two company directors currently mainly work from home, and their offices use 100% renewable electricity and 100% carbon neutral gas. They are in the process of converting their house to remove the use of gas.
In Sep 2023, we calculated our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions as being almost zero.
In September 2023, red¹⁰received a Bronze Certificate from EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted Business Sustainability Rating.

Aug 2021: We changed our two company cars to be 100% electric. Whenever possible, we aim to fill them with renewable electric.
Sep 2023: We committed to:
A Encourage our clients to use virtual wherever possible.
B Carbon offset travel.
Sep 2023: We chose 2019 as our base year the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).
We committed to a 46% reduction of our CO2 from 2019, by 2030, and to publishing our emissions annually.
We calculated our scope 1 and 2 emissions as negligible.
Using their GHG formula, we calculated:
2019 scope 3 emissions as 43.5 tCO2e.
Apr 2024: we recalculated using their updated GHG Conversion Factor:
2019 Scope 3 emissions as 160.5 tCO2e. We calculate 46% as 73.8t.
2023 scope 3 emissions data as 50.1 tCO2e
In May 2024, we calculated:
2024 Q1 scope 3 emissions as 17.8 tCO2e

Update: Jan-2024

All of red¹⁰‘s directors and staff bank with organisations that get a green rating on https://bank.green/
In red¹⁰‘s 2022-23 financial accounts, 13 suppliers accounted for the majority (76%) of red10’s cost-base. Of these:
• 8 have already switched to banks that get a green rating on https://bank.green/
• 2 have plans to switch banks
