Carbon Reduction Statement

Window

As a principle of culture and policy, PGI embraces our responsibility to the environment beyond just legal and regulatory requirements.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating models.

As a hybrid working business, we are already taking steps to reduce our carbon emissions and environmental impact.

PGI - Protection Group International Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Baseline Year: 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 (first assessment) 372.83 (tCO2e)

 

Baseline Calculations

Our first baseline calculations were taken for the 12-month period 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 against all applicable scopes: Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) and Scope 3 (business operations). 

 

Emissions reduction targets/commitment to achieving Net Zero

PGI is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

In order to progress to achieving Net Zero by our target date, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:

  • Year 5 – reduction to 250 (tCO2e)

  • Year 10 – reduction to 180 (tCO2e)

  • Year 15 – reduction to 100 (tCO2e)

  • Year 20 – reduction to 5O (tCO2e)

 

Carbon Reduction Projects

The following environmental management/carbon reduction measures are examples of projects have been completed or will be implemented following our initial baseline assessment:

  1. Maintaining a hybrid working pattern (unless home-based). 

  2. Offering a cycle-to-work scheme to all employees.

  3. Changes to policy resulting in environmentally responsible company travel, where possible.

  4. Review operational costs associated with the delivery of customer/client services including.

  5. IT/technology initiatives including:

    1. Replacing company laptops, when required, with more energy efficient models. 

    2. Reducing/updating data centre equipment e.g. servers, transferring to more energy efficient models whilst optimising efficiency and performance. 

  6. Investing in carbon offsetting projects through the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) and Certified Emission Reductions (CER) programmes. For example, contribution to the planting of sustainable trees/woodland and investment in green energy sources to support the offset of carbon emissions. 

  7. Suppliers:

    1. At initial engagement and supplier re-assessment, prioritise suppliers that have a published Carbon Reduction Policy and/or are already demonstrating that they are carbon-neutral and/or have committed to achieving net zero and/or deliver services in an energy-efficient manner over those that do not. 

Our published Carbon Reduction Policy and Plan are available to interested external parties upon request.
