PR Network

Following our B Corp certification in June 2023, we’ve partnered with climate consultancy Furthr to develop our sustainability strategy. With Furthr's assistance, we've gained a clear picture of our carbon footprint. We're now taking proactive measures to lower our emissions and counterbalance any that remain.

We are also committed to making meaningful investments in projects on the frontline of the climate crisis. This year, we’re supporting projects in Myanmar and Uganda, promoting nature-based carbon removal solutions, as well as community-focused emissions reduction schemes.

We’re also funding monthly protected reforestation projects and have given our employees access to the Furthr Platform to help them live more sustainably.

Watch this space to see our company forest grow as our team takes steps to live greener each day.

Mitigating for unavoidable emissions

A carbon offset is a mechanism by which a company can compensate for its unavoidable emissions.

Furthr's offsets come in two forms:

Carbon Reduction Offsets, where we protect nature & fund technologies that drive carbon reduction.
Carbon Removal Offsets, where we fund nature and tech-based projects which remove emissions from the atmosphere.

Furthr's Due Diligence and Independent Verification

Furthr's in-house due diligence process rigorously assesses each project for its long-term impact (permanence), unique contribution to carbon reduction (additionality), and broader environmental, social, and economic benefits and safeguards (co-benefits).

We also carefully consider potential unintended negative impacts (leakage) and ensure robust greenhouse gas reduction calculations for the integrity and effectiveness of our projects. The latter is done by ensuring third-party auditing and governance are robustly managed by project developers, who themselves have experience and track record in delivering the highest quality carbon projects.

In our commitment to ensure the highest quality of carbon offsets, we collaborate with leading third-party agencies such as BeZero, Sylvera, and CCQI. These agencies specialize in meticulously evaluating carbon offset projects, offering an additional layer of validation to our selection process.

The Problem

In the Ayeyarwady region of Myanmar, mangroves are being destroyed at an alarming rate due to unsustainable agricultural and industrial practices, compounded by poverty and lack of access to education in local communities.

The Solution

The Myanmar Blue Carbon project aims to restore and protect 2,065.87 hectares of degraded mangroves. Their community-based approach to conservation will include educating and employing locals, supporting schools and families, promoting gender equality, and ensuring continuous maintenance and protection of the mangroves. This will enhance biodiversity, provide new income sources, and increase resilience against extreme weather for the 2,482 households in the project area.

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.
