We are committed to becoming a Climate Positive Workforce
Elucidat is a Software as a Service business, using cloud hosting to support our software platform. We have a team based across the UK.
Climate emissions are an unavoidable part of our business activities. However, we are determined to minimise our impact on the environment wherever possible, and offset our emissions whenever we are unable to eliminate them. At Elucidat our company values are ‘Learn, Care, Share’. Our ‘Care’ value is a commitment to care for our people, our customers and the world around us.
Our mission is to become Climate Positive as soon as possible.
This means we will take more CO2 out of the atmosphere than we put in.
How we will do it
We will become Climate Positive by following the guidelines of https://www.theclimatepledge.com/ which are:
Regular reporting
We have undertaken an initial carbon footprint audit mid-2021 as a starting point. We receive reports at the end of each year to assess our carbon emissions.
Carbon elimination
We are committed to implementing decarbonization strategies through real business changes and innovations. This includes:
- Maintaining a paperless business
- Using green companies for our office recycling and waste, energy provider, and cleaning services
- Minimizing business travel and using sustainable transport where possible
- Responsible purchasing, opting for second-hand office goods where possible
- Working with clients and suppliers to encourage high environmental standards
- Raising awareness and training employees on environmental issues
Credible offsets
We are committed to neutralizing any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially-beneficial offsets to achieve net zero annual carbon emissions. We have partnered with Ecologi and are exploring further projects to partner with, both locally and in regions where they can have the greatest impact. To date, we have planted over 45,000 trees, resulting in 1,570 tonnes of CO23 avoided as of November 2024.
Since switching to a green energy provider, we have also saved 13,706kg of CO2 emissions as of November 2024.
Our Climate Pledge
These actions are also underpinned by a mindset of continuous improvement where we always look to implement best practices in our business to meet our goals.
The Climate Pledge suggests that businesses aim to reach net zero annual carbon emissions by 2040, however as a business we believe we can achieve this much sooner, and go even further to become Climate Positive.
