The devastation and destruction we are witnessing as a result of climate change is on a scale never experienced before – and escalating fast.
The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher than they have been for over 800,000 years and planet earth is heating like never before. Our oceans are becoming more acidic, they are warming, are polluted with more waste and plastic than ever, and our sea levels are rising. Rapid changes in our ecosystems, such as rainforests, deserts and coral reef are having a profound impact on the habitats that rely upon them.
Extreme weather disasters are becoming more commonplace and the destruction they leave in their wake is becoming more devastating.
Furthermore, consumerism is placing immense pressure on natural resources and this is compounded because we haven’t designed our supply chains to be circular, so waste and pollution are growing exponentially.
Urgent action is therefore needed to reduce anthropogenic climate change, if we are to collectively avert the crisis facing the planet.
As a leading energy consultancy, Zenergi acknowledges the dual opportunity we have to deliver positive action in the fight against climate change – by minimising our own environmental impacts, whilst also maximising the benefits our sustainable solutions can deliver on behalf of our customers.
We are therefore taking full responsibility for our own impacts, including our commitment to achieve net zero by 2025 for scopes 1 and 2, and to have our plans validated by the Science Based Target Initiative and The Climate Pledge.
For our team, we are electrifying all our vehicles by 2030 and offering electric vehicles via a salary sacrifice scheme, in addition to empowering them to measure and minimise their carbon footprint through tools and training.
