Q3 achieves Planet Mark certification

Q3’s commitment to Net Zero confirmed with Planet Mark certification

Having a sustainability strategy is no longer a ‘nice to have’ for businesses. It is becoming an imperative, in conjunction with a commitment to, and a plan for achieving Net Zero.

Q3 chose to work with the Planet Mark organisation to ensure a rigorous analysis of our carbon producing activities, the establishment of our carbon footprint benchmark and development of plans for attaining a carbon neutral status. Certification was confirmed in March.

It is a credit to the Q3 organisation that through our early adoption of agile working, the impact of our corporate buildings is small, and the challenge now lies with addressing travel and scope 3 supply chain CO2 reduction. Our plan will be published shortly with a target date for Net Zero by 2035.

Commenting on the certification, CEO Martyn Freeman said, “This is a great step forward for Q3. The climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges of our time and FM companies need to lead by example, given that so much of our CO2 emissions are generated by the buildings which we look after and maintain.”
