Gattaca has been working in partnership with Furthr since 2022. Together, they have significantly broadened the company's emissions measurement scope to cover all relevant categories within Scopes 1, 2, and 3 globally. In 2023, Gattaca became one of the few organisations in the recruitment sector to have both Near-Term and Net-Zero science-based climate targets validated by the SBTi.

The company also introduced its sustainability strategy internally to its team, with Furthr conducting regular webinars to clarify Net Zero concepts for employees, and giving them access to its Employee Engagement Platform.

In parallel to their emission reductions, Gattaca have fully offset their entire footprint with Furthr, each year, with high-quality projects, and have involved their employees to choose those offsets, as part of an engagement programme. Gattaca have since been awarded the 'Sustainability Impact of the Year 2024’ award by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation, and hope to inspire other recruitment firms to follow their lead.

Portfolio Deep Dive

The Problem

When opening in 2009, Brusque’s landfill emitted methane (CH4) - a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than CO₂ - directly to the atmosphere, along with odours that affected neighbouring businesses and residential areas. Local utilities lacked incentives to invest in gas collection infrastructure, and municipal budgets offered no dedicated climate funding.

The Solution

Since 2022, this project has allowed both the collection of landfill gas before it enters the atmosphere, and its destruction in a high temperature enclosed flare. Since 2024, some of the gas is also used to fuel an electricity generation infrastructure, with electricity produced being sent into the national grid. The project therefore promotes real, permanent and measurable greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions as well as cleaner air.

The Problem

From 2002 to 2023, Panama lost 19% of its total tree cover. This includes large areas of primary forests, cut down to make way for agriculture and mono-cropping. These changes to the landscape limit the country’s carbon sequestration capacity, threaten biodiversity and leave parts of Panama at much higher risk of erosion, soil degradation, and contamination from agricultural runoff.

The Solution

ForestFinance are reforesting land previously used for cattle ranching with a mixture of native species, species used for sustainable timber production and organic agriculture. This combination promotes biodiversity in the area, improves carbon sequestration, and supports economic growth in the region.

The Problem

In Malawi, solid biomass is used as cooking fuel, but supply does not adequately meet demand, and over harvesting of wood is leaving the country vulnerable to land degradation. The solid biomass releases GHGs into the atmosphere when burned, contributing to global warming. It also created air pollution in homes, creating health risk, especially for women and children.

The Solution

The project provides energy efficient clay stoves - called ‘Chitetezo Mbaula’ in Malawi - to villagers. By reducing the amount of fuel needed by thousands of families, it leads to important emission reduction. It also contributes to 9 out of 17 UNSDGS!

The Problem

Over 21 million people in Uganda are without access to clean water. Communities often rely on unsafe wells, lakes and other open water sources that are highly susceptible to contamination. Community groups own many existing boreholes across Uganda that have fallen into disrepair because maintenance programmes have been poorly managed or have proven too expensive.

The Solution

The Lango Safe Water project aims to resolve this issue by restoring existing boreholes and providing training for their continued maintenance. In addition to improved access to clean water, this will serve to reduce the emissions associated with boiling water to sanitise it. The initiative also addresses gender inequality and has become the first ever Gold Standard Gender Responsive certification project.

The Problem

In Pakistan, 34% of mangrove forests were lost between 1990 and 2010, leading to floods, land erosion, and significantly lower sequestration of atmospheric carbon. Mangroves wetland serve as a carbon sink, stabilize coastal regions, and have a wealth of biodiversity, including large numbers of migratory shorebirds. They are also home to thousands of people who rely on the trading of shellfish and crab for their living.

The Solution

This 60-years project is implemented over an area of 350,000 ha. It will deliver GHG removals through afforestation, reforestation and revegetation of 226,000 ha of degraded tidal wetlands.
