At Zühlke, we focus first on reducing our emissions across scopes 1, 2, and 3. Key carbon reduction initiatives include:

• Renewable electricity: we continue to transition to renewable energy sources across our locations. Where we are not able to use renewable electricity, we purchase Energy Attribute Certificates (EAC’s). In 2024, we achieved 100% renewable electricity usage all our locations using these combined methods.
• Resource efficiency: we are evaluating our energy, water, and waste efficiency to understand where and how improvements can be made to reduce unnecessary or wasteful resource consumption. We promote responsible procurement and circular economy principles.
• Office utilisation: We’ve evaluated our ways of working and have a roadmap to reduce unused office space by subletting floors or downsizing.
• Responsible travel: We are moving away from petrol and diesel company vehicles to hybrids and electric vehicles. We take a technology-first approach over face-to-face meetings and we encourage emission conscious travel wherever possible.

To address our remaining emissions, we invest in projects that protect nature, and fund technologies that drive carbon reduction and remove emissions from the atmosphere. Find out more on the projects we have invested in with our carbon mitigation partner Furthr, here.

We recognise the importance of preserving and protecting our planet’s resources for present and future generation. Zühlke has adopted an Environmental Policy that guides our actions to conserve resources, reduce carbon emissions, and avoid waste.

We also have an Environmental Management System certified according to ISO 14001:2015.
