Commitment

Central to our corporate ethos is our steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. Across all Aetheria Group Companies, we are pledged to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. With a strategic roadmap in place, we aim to curtail carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, in alignment with both the Government’s initiatives and the Aetheria Group’s ambitious environmental targets.

Carbon Emissions Baseline and Inventory

To accurately gauge our environmental impact, a thorough carbon emissions inventory will be instituted across all Aetheria Group entities. This inventory will encompass direct emissions from our varied operations, indirect emissions arising from energy consumption, and those associated with our extensive supply chains. This baseline will be re-assessed annually, serving as a pivotal touchstone for monitoring and measuring our progress.

Energy Efficiency and Technological Advancements

Aetheria Group recognises the transformative potential of energy-saving technologies. Accordingly, we are committed to retrofitting and refining our facilities across all verticals. Key initiatives include adopting energy-efficient lighting solutions, recalibrating HVAC systems for optimal efficiency, responsibly recycling technology at the end of its utility phase, and integrating state-of-the-art heating mechanisms.

Embrace of Renewable Energy

Our journey towards a greener tomorrow hinges on the adoption of renewable energy. Our pledge is to either directly procure renewable energy, invest in on-site renewable energy generation, or purchase renewable energy credits. Our strategic vision entails broadening the renewable energy footprint across all our facilities.

Sustainable Procurement and Strategic Office Streamlining

In our endeavour to bolster our environmental aspirations, our procurement strategy will have sustainability at its core. We shall collaborate with partners and vendors that reflect our green commitments. Moreover, the Aetheria Group sees merit in office consolidation, aiming to maximise space utilisation whilst minimising energy overheads.

Carbon Offsetting

Aware of the challenges that complete emissions eradication presents, we are pledged to endorse certified carbon offset initiatives. We will channel investments into projects that not only balance our carbon footprint but also offer wider societal and environmental benefits.

Staff Engagement, Training, and a New Working Paradigm

To ensure a holistic and unified approach, we will launch comprehensive sustainability training modules, aligning our teams with our environmental ethos. Embracing the future of work, we shall introduce a hybrid operational model, reducing commute-related emissions.

Transparency, Oversight, and Communication

As we progress towards a sustainable future, transparency remains paramount. We are committed to meticulous monitoring, underlined by annual disclosures of our carbon performance. In line with international standards, our reports will be crafted following the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.

By amalgamating the core tenets of our existing policies with the successful green strategies championed by Aetheria Group Ltd., we are confident that this enhanced Carbon Reduction Plan positions us ideally to meet our sustainability milestones comprehensively.
