Working closely with Carbon Neutral Britain™, our organisation’s 2024 emissions have been measured in line with the ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol Accounting Standard. While reducing emissions remains a priority, we are also offsetting our impact through internationally certified carbon projects, supporting renewable energy, solar lighting, and sustainable agriculture worldwide.

Our latest report highlights the progress we have made. Waste related emissions fell by 4%, company vehicle emissions by 3%, and we have significantly upgraded our fleet. Last year we had just one fully electric vehicle and two hybrids. Today, we have six fully electric vehicles and four hybrids.

Our Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) commits us to halving emissions by 2030 and achieving Net Zero by 2050. By accurately measuring, offsetting, and committing to reduce our emissions each year, Clifford Devlin is not only Carbon Neutral today but also aligned with both Science Based Targets and UK Government requirements for carbon reduction. This is an important step forward, and we will continue to take action to reduce our carbon emissions as a business.
