Carbon Neutral Certification
We are proud to announce that we have achieved a CarbonNeutral® company certification from Climate Impact Partners for the second year in a row in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol. In 2023, we reduced and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 emissions1, including business travel and purchased goods and services.

Neutrality
We engaged a third party advisory firm to conduct a comprehensive measurement of our firm-wide GHG emissions covering Scope 1, 2 and 3, using both location and market based methods. We then identified a series of carbon reduction initiatives across our global offices, including leveraging energy efficient utilities and improving global recycling practices. To offset the unreducible portion of the firm’s footprint, we provided financing to a portfolio of three sustainable development projects across multiple countries, all of which are verified to ICROA-approved standards.

About CarbonNeutral® Certification
CarbonNeutral® certification was created and is managed by Climate Impact Partners. It was the first clear set of guidelines for businesses to achieve carbon neutrality back in 2002, and every year since then Climate Impact Partners has continued its commitment to providing a robust framework for clear, transparent and high-quality carbon neutral action. The CarbonNeutral Protocol is a publicly available document that sets out the requirements for companies to achieve CarbonNeutral® certification. It is updated annually with input from an Advisory Council of external experts to ensure it reflects the latest industry and scientific best practice.
