We’re proud to announce that Ecologi | B Corp™ have presented the Focusrite Group with a Gold Award, signifying our successful reporting, target setting, decarbonisation work, and substantial funding of climate action projects.
🌍 🌿 As we mark Earth Day, we’re proud to announce that we have achieved the prestigious Ecologi | B Corp™ ‘For Our Planet’ Gold Award and have committed to setting science-based emission reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In the past year, we have calculated our environmental footprint down to individual component level on products and communicated transparently about our emissions in our first Environment and Climate Report. This has established a solid baseline for how we will decarbonise moving forwards. This steadfast commitment to the environment has led to us being honoured with the Ecologi ‘For Our Planet’ Gold Award, signifying our successful reporting, target setting, decarbonisation work, and substantial funding of climate action projects. Also, we have proudly responded to the urgent call for corporate climate action by committing to align with the 1.5°C and net-zero targets through the ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C’ campaign. We have committed to set near-term and net-zero company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the SBTi, with work underway to develop near-term and net-zero targets to be submitted for validation within 24 months. “Aligning the Focusrite Group with this effort has been a key part of our environmental strategy,” says Andrew Land, Global Head of Sustainability at Focusrite Group. “We started by looking at our internal operations, then our products, and now how we fit within our industry and beyond.” “By committing to setting science-based targets for decarbonisation we are following the latest climate science and plan to publish our ambitious targets in full. These will include annual reduction goals, ultimately forecast towards achieving net-zero emissions as early as possible. However, any actions we take on our own will not prevent global temperature rises, so we call on other companies to take the same action by committing to science-based 1.5°C and net-zero targets.” 📣 We encourage other businesses to commit to science-based targets, joining us in this critical endeavour for a sustainable future. 📣 #EarthDay2024 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FocusriteGroup #ProAudio #MusicalInstrumentIndustry
