Net Zero progress for another year

Planet Mark

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

Since Q3 started measuring its carbon footprint in the base mark year of 2020-21, the company year, has delivered a 32% reduction in CO2 emissions.

The achievement is even more remarkable, as the company has expanded significantly during this period, both through organic growth and the acquisition of the Hard Services business (formerly Newtons Group), which was also included in a full year audit for the first time.

Commenting on the result, CEO Martyn Freeman said, “I’m pleased with the progress we are making on our Net Zero journey. Having the hard services expertise within our own operation means we have the in-house skills to not only tackle the challenges we face as a business, but also support our clients, who are on the same journey.”

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