Q3 makes excellent progress towards Net Zero

Following an audit by the Planet Mark organisation, Q3 has recorded another substantial year-on-year reduction in its CO2 emissions, putting the organisation well on target to achieve its objective of reaching Net Zero by 2035.

Since Q3 started measuring its carbon footprint in the base mark (financial) year of 2020-21, the company has already delivered a 77% reduction in measured CO2 emissions.

The achievement is even more remarkable, as the company has expanded its operations significantly during this period. Rationalisation of fixed office facilities and reduction in vehicle fleet accounted for significant amounts of these savings.

Commenting on the result, CEO Martyn Freeman said, “I’m delighted with the progress we are making on our Net Zero journey. Working as we do in FM, and responsible for hundreds of client buildings, means that we have a duty to lead by example and address the climate change issue as a matter of urgency.”

Q3’s updated carbon reduction plan may be viewed and downloaded from our website: Carbon Management and Reduction Plan.
