Bowmark-backed Focus Group announces plans for carbon neutrality

Focus Group is undertaking a six-month audit of all the material greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within its business, including ‘Scope 3’ emissions. The audit will deliver a detailed carbon footprint report produced in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting & Reporting Standard.

Ralph Gilbert, Focus Group co-founder and director said: “As a group we have already done so much to try and minimise our impact on the planet. It’s great to now have a framework to recognise that work and drive even more effort towards becoming carbon neutral.”

“We recognise that our day-to-day operational activities and those of our customers have some impact on the environment. By partnering with Auditel we are making a clear statement of intent to reduce our own carbon footprint in a credible, meaningful, and measured way and to provide our customers with sustainability solutions that will benefit everyone.”

Robert Allison, carbon solutions director at Auditel, added: "We are delighted to be working with Focus Group, a genuine champion of sustainability in the IT, telecoms and connectivity sector. We look forward to working with the team and their supply chain to help them achieve an industry recognised standard of carbon neutrality."

Tom Keen, investment director at Bowmark said: “We are proud to support Focus Group in taking this important step on the journey to net zero.”
