A Greener Future Starts with Us

Achieving carbon-negative status is an important milestone for businesses as it signifies a proactive approach towards environmental sustainability. A negative carbon status means an organisation removes more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits. This is a crucial step in combating climate change and minimising the adverse impact of business operations on the environment. By aiming for carbon-negative status, businesses demonstrate their commitment to mitigating climate change and promoting a more sustainable future for the planet.

tmc3 reaches a milestone in sustainability 

We are excited to share that tmc3 has officially achieved carbon-negative status, marking a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. This accomplishment is a testament to our  dedication to sustainability, as we have implemented innovative strategies, invested in renewable energy, supported carbon offset projects, and adopted sustainable practices across all our operations. It underscores our deep commitment to environmental stewardship and our relentless pursuit of reducing our carbon footprint, reflecting our ongoing efforts to positively impact the planet while maintaining our commitment to innovation and client service.

Our key initiatives for a sustainable future

We have been diligently working to implement sustainable practices that not only benefit our company but also the environment and future generations.

Here are some of the key initiatives driving our carbon-negative journey:

  • Paper-free offices: We have mandated paper-free offices to minimise paper consumption.
  • Green energy sources: All employees have committed to using green energy sources at home, supporting renewables or sourcing electricity from 100% green energy suppliers.
  • Virtual first meetings: We have implemented a 'virtual first' meeting policy to reduce business travel and associated emissions.
  • EV-only company cars: To promote sustainable transportation, we are introducing an electric vehicle (EV)- only company car scheme.
  • Sustainable procurement: We have taken a bold step by embedding sustainability criteria into our procurement process. This ensures that we prioritise environmentally conscious suppliers, thereby contributing to the larger goal of promoting sustainable business practices.

Green partnerships

In addition, we have formed a partnership with Carma. Through this collaboration with Carma, an organisation led by veterans, we are dedicated to planting 123 trees every month worldwide. These new trees will absorb 39 metric tons of CO2 and provide one working day for a UK veteran. Our goal is to have planted 1488 trees, created 12 working days with the Green Task Force for UK Veterans, and absorbed 468 metric tons of CO2 by December 2024. We invite you to join us in our efforts to build a greener future for our planet and to make a positive impact on the environment and our local communities.

Our dedicated commitment 

In the coming years, we are fully dedicated to taking meaningful steps to decrease our carbon footprint and work towards ambitious emission reduction goals. To accomplish this, we have narrowed down our focus to the following objectives:

  1. Supplier Engagement: We actively involve our key suppliers in collaborative initiatives to reduce their emissions, contributing to overall sustainability efforts.
  2. Climate-Smart Travel: We empower our employees with the necessary tools and resources to make environmentally conscious travel decisions, aligning with our commitment to climate-friendly practices.

These objectives reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and our belief in the power of sustainability to drive innovation and growth.

Our overarching objective is to surpass our Science-Based Target through sustained efforts that substantially decrease carbon emissions. By 2025, we aim to achieve a remarkable 500% reduction, bringing our carbon emissions down to -200 tCO2e.  

We are confident that with our collective commitment and innovative solutions, we will continue to lead the way in corporate sustainability.

Join us on this transformative journey toward a sustainable future. Together, we will set the standard for environmental stewardship and make a lasting impact.
