We want to protect the climate. Today, DEPT® is a carbon neutral company. By 2023, we will be carbon negative. 

• Our carbon footprint: We’re a certified Climate Neutral brand. We have measured and offset 100% of our 2021 carbon emissions of 10,535 tonne Co2. We offset our carbon footprint via partner Terra Neutra. In 2021, the offsetting projects we supported included a wind farm in Turkey and a reforestation project in Uganda. Looking forward, we also intend to get our reduction goals verified by the Science Based Targets Initiative and submit publicly to the Carbon Disclosure Project.
• Green building: We set goals to have the majority of our office spaces Green Building accredited and while we continue to grow through acquisitions (which includes acquired buildings), we want to ensure ⅔ of moves or extensions are green building certified year over year. We also want to ensure that 90% of offices are powered by renewable energy by the end of 2023, and increase the amount of low impact renewable energy in our offices by 10% year over year. Examples of other initiatives to create low-impact offices are: meatless Mondays in our catered offices, recycling e-waste by donating laptops to charities, working with reclaimed materials in new construction projects, and using energy efficient appliances and LED lighting. 
• Green travel: Based on our measurements, travel is one of our largest sources of carbon emissions. We are working to reduce our emissions from travel 7% per FTE year over year with initiatives such as subsidies to incentivise public transport and a flexible work from home policy.
