Our net zero carBon commitments
The scientific community has clearly stated the need to reach Net Zero global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions by mid-century in order to limit global temperatures to 1.5oC above pre-industrial levels and to reduce the destructive impacts of climate change on human society and nature.
Montagu Evans is committed to being a responsible business and aims to help achieve this ambitious goal through our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy and our Net Zero Carbon (NVZ) commitments are just one element of that.
It is important to us that we share our Net Zero Carbon (NZC) Commitments, giving our stakeholders the opportunity to be involved in the journey, track our progress, and provide feedback. The report below presents our intended route to NZC and details how we are taking responsibility for our own impact on the environment whilst enhancing value to our people and our clients.
