our sustainability plan
At eco-g, sustainability is central to our identity, influencing every decision we make. As dedicated sustainability consultants, we understand the critical importance of leading by example. Our approach goes beyond merely advising others—we believe deeply in embedding sustainable practices into our own business model.
Transparency, accountability, and action form the core of our strategy. By openly sharing our environmental impacts and the concrete steps we take, we strive not only to enhance our credibility but also to inspire our clients and community to embark on their own meaningful sustainability journeys. Our commitment extends beyond compliance; it reflects our genuine drive for innovation and improvement in reducing environmental harm and promoting responsible business practices.
We are proud to already belong to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) community and to be recognised as a Better Business. We are in the process of gaining B-Corp certification, committed to proving our social and environmental impact meets the highest verified standards. Our website is carbon neutral, and in the coming year, we will also enrol in the 1% for the Planet initiative to further strengthen our contribution.
Measuring Our Footprint
We started operations in 2024 and have just completed our first full year of emissions data collection, forming our baseline for future improvement. As a fully remote consultancy, eco-g has no direct Scope 1 emissions (fuel combustion or company vehicles) or Scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity for company premises). Instead, our primary focus is on Scope 3 emissions, which cover indirect emissions related to our business operations.
Methodology
Our calculations follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, ensuring accuracy and comparability. For home working, we used the UK Government’s Environmental Reporting Guidelines methodology for Category 7 (Employee Commuting/Homeworking).
This included data on electricity, heating, and internet use from our team members, adjusted for renewable energy adoption where applicable. For digital infrastructure, we relied on data provided by our cloud service partners, who disclose energy sourcing and efficiency. Supplier emissions were estimated using spend-based data, prioritising suppliers with published sustainability data. Business travel emissions were calculated using distance-based emission factors for each mode of transport.
We are committed to refining this methodology each year as better data and tools become available, ensuring our reporting remains robust and transparent.
