At Adroit, we recognise the global climate challenge and its profound implications for our planet. With an eye to the future and a commitment to responsible business practices, we are committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Our carbon reduction plan represents a thoughtful approach towards sustainability, encompassing strategies designed to lessen our environmental impact. From exploring ways to optimise energy efficiency in our operations to considering investment in renewable energy, every aspect of our plan reflects our aspiration to contribute positively to the environment.
Our first baseline year was 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023.
The baseline year in our carbon reduction plan signifies the initial point from which we gauge our progress towards a more sustainable future. By carefully selecting this reference year, we’ve established a tangible standard to compare our subsequent emissions. This step enables us to quantify the effectiveness of our strategies, charting a clear and consistent path towards reducing our environmental impact. It’s more than a mere timestamp; it’s our commitment to transparency and accountability in our ongoing pursuit of sustainability.

Presently, Adroit’s two directors adhere to a home-based work routine for four days every week. On a weekly basis, they dedicate one day to in-person interactions, travelling into London to meet clients face-to-face and to engage with each other in office spaces leased on an hourly basis.
Employees and contractors occasionally commute to customer sites using public and personal transport but are encouraged to meet with clients and colleagues using video conferencing
