Carbon Reduction Plan
Our commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint
Our Environmental Commitment
Our planet has been impacted by long term shifts in temperature and weather patterns which keep variating for the past two centuries. This phenomenon has been caused by what we now know to be climate change. Clover Support Group Limited is committed to reducing its emissions from 245.62 tCO₂e to zero by 2040, achieving Net Zero.
The reduction will be achieved through combined efforts across all scopes, with a primary focus on Scope 3, which constitutes the largest share of emissions (over 97%). For further information in relation to our plan to achieve Net Zero by 2040, please refer to our Carbon Reduction Plan.
