Tackling climate change and biodiversity loss are two key priorities of ALG’s responsible business strategy. Our emissions reduction targets, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, use 2019 as a baseline year and commit us to:

Reducing our overall carbon footprint 50% by 2030

Reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions 66% by 2030

Reducing scope 3 emissions 46% by 2030

Using 100% renewable energy for our Dublin, Belfast and London offices by 2030

Top 83% of our suppliers by emissions to have set science-based targets by 2028

Our commitment to climate and nature

Our long-term goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In the meantime, we are focused on:

  • improving energy efficiency and reducing waste across our operations
  • reducing emissions associated with business travel and commuting
  • decarbonising our supply chain through supplier engagement and collaboration
  • strengthening emissions reporting and transparency
  • supporting nature-positive initiatives through our partnerships and operations

We publish our greenhouse gas emissions data and independent verification statements annually as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability.

Our environmental management systems

We recognise that high standards of environmental management are required to support our business management objectives and clients’ needs.

Our policies are supported by, and form part of our environmental and energy management systems, which are certified to ISO14001 and ISO50001 respectively. We achieved certification of both these management systems in 2016 and have been reaccredited for both management systems since.
