Net Zero means achieving balance between the carbon emitted into the atmosphere by human activities, and the carbon removed from it.
Reaching Net Zero is an ambitious goal, but we are committed to doing our part for future generations. The shift toward a lower-carbon future is a priority for us and for many of our clients, and it is a key focus of our Group sustainability strategy.
