In the world of ESG and Sustainability it is important to share positive outcomes and progress, sometimes news in this space can be far from encouraging, so it is with great pride that I can share the encouraging results of Cloud’s first annual ESG report.
My colleagues and our whole business from supply chain partners, through to our client-facing teams, have made great strides.
Cloud is building a resilient business that has a positive impact on the environment and its people.
Attached here is the full annual report and our fresh targets for 2024: Cloud ESG Report 2023
– 8% reduction in full scope tCO2e – the majority of our footprint is in scope 3 but we reduced across all scopes
– 4% reduction in gas usage – we are electrifying our heating and installed a heat pump at our Head Office
– 27% reduction in electric CO2 emissions –due to securing a 100% REGO backed renewable electricity supply
– 7% reduction in scope 3 purchased goods and services emissions – the data quality here is poor but we are on the path to collecting this data and have now obtained better quality data for a quarter of our supply chain, things can only get better!
