Our Commitment
Net Zero by 2030
We're not trying to undo damage — we're building a business that never creates it. From day one, Block One has been designed with Net Zero at its foundation, not as an afterthought.
Most businesses set Net Zero targets decades into the future, hoping technology will catch up with their legacy emissions. We took a different approach: start clean, stay clean, and prove it's possible to build a high-performing advisory business without compromising the planet. Every policy, incentive and operational decision is designed to eliminate carbon — not offset it.
Our 10-Point Net Zero Framework
Net Zero by 2030
Block One is committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2030. Unlike many organisations retrofitting sustainability onto legacy operations, we are building with Net Zero at our core from day one — eliminating emissions at source rather than offsetting them after the fact.
Electric Vehicle Travel
All business travel is conducted via electric vehicles. Company policy mandates zero-emission transport for client visits, site inspections and inter-office travel, supported by EV salary sacrifice schemes for all employees.
Active & Public Transport Incentives
Employees are incentivised to cycle, walk and use public transport through Cycle to Work schemes, season ticket loans and mileage-equivalent reimbursements for active travel. We actively discourage unnecessary car journeys.
2-Day Home Emissions Audit
Every employee receives two paid days per year dedicated to auditing and reducing emissions in their own homes and personal lives. This includes energy assessments, insulation reviews, heating upgrades and behavioural changes — extending our impact beyond the workplace.
Education & Awareness Programme
Ongoing internal training ensures every team member understands carbon literacy, sustainable procurement and low-carbon decision-making. We believe informed people make better choices — at work and at home.
100% Renewable Energy
Our offices and digital infrastructure are powered by verified renewable energy tariffs. We practise what we advise — ensuring our own energy supply is fully decarbonised.
Circular & Low-Waste Operations
We operate a paperless-first policy, prioritise reusable and recycled materials, and work with supply chain partners who share our commitment to waste reduction and circular economy principles.
Sustainable Supply Chain
We evaluate all suppliers and partners against environmental criteria. Preference is given to businesses demonstrating genuine carbon reduction commitments, local sourcing and ethical practices.
Remote-First & Reduced Commuting
Our flexible and remote-first working model eliminates unnecessary commuting. When in-person collaboration is required, we co-locate to minimise travel distance and carbon impact.
Carbon Measurement & Transparency
We measure and publicly report our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions annually. Transparency is non-negotiable — we hold ourselves accountable to the same standards we set for our clients.
Sustainability isn't a marketing exercise — it's how we operate. If you'd like to learn more about our commitments or challenge us on our progress, we welcome the conversation.
