Appleby has retained its Planet Mark Business Certification for a further year, reducing carbon emissions by 37.2% and underlining the Group’s commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible business practices.
To retain its Certification, Appleby was required to measure and reduce emissions across the Group while working to improve data quality. Appleby saw significant growth during the period yet was able to achieve a 37.2% absolute reduction in measured Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 39.2% per employee reduction compared to the previous year.
As a Planet Mark Certified Business, Appleby and its clients benefit from the assurance that the Group’s carbon footprint has been independently verified. The Certification is a recognised symbol of sustainability progress which demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to measuring and reducing their carbon emissions, ultimately contributing to Appleby’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) capability.
Appleby Group Managing Partner Malcolm Moller (pictured) said: “We are delighted to have retained our Planet Mark Business Certification for 2024 and to have achieved such a significant reduction in carbon emissions. I want to extend my thanks to colleagues across our organisation who have worked on sustainability initiatives, large and small, which contributed to this success. It’s important that we continually review our progress and we know there is more to do but this is a tremendous foundation on which to build our efforts to decarbonise.”
