href="https://www.climateimpact.com/global-projects/clean-water-and-cooking-guatemala/">Water Filtration and Improved Cookstoves</a>. As well as providing offsetting, these projects contribute to supporting various elements of the <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals">UN’s Sustainable Development Goals</a> (SDGs).</p><p>In the last couple of years, we chose to add a <a href="https://www.climateimpact.com/global-projects/community-reforestation-ghana/">Community Reforestation </a>Project to our portfolio. This removal project restores degraded forest reserves in Ghana with teak, indigenous trees and natural forest. We also chose the <a href="https://www.climateimpact.com/global-projects/vichada-afforestation-colombia/">Vichada Afforestation</a> Project, which restores land degraded by cattle raising through afforestation activities. As removal projects, these are the type that we will continue to support whilst reducing our footprint on our goal to aiming for net zero before 2030. </p><p>These are Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program projects. The VCS has become a globally recognised greenhouse gas crediting program due to its rigorous assessment and the way that it addresses new scientific, technological and regulatory developments. It’s the <span style="font-size: 1rem;">world’s most widely used voluntary program to ensure the credibility of emission reduction projects, sharing </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">transparently, the information about its projects and their activities.</span></p><p>As well as the projects themselves they contribute to numerous SDGs, including: Zero Hunger by implementing resilient agricultural practices, Gender Equality through creating more jobs and allocating more available areas to women as well as Decent Work and Economic Growth. You can <a href="https://www.climateimpact.com/global-projects/community-reforestation-ghana/">find out more through Climate Impact Partners.</a></p><p>As with all of our environmental impact work, we continue to evaluate, learn and grow. With new technologies, projects and guidelines evolving, we aim to continually improve our own practices whilst ultimately and most importantly, making further reductions to our footprint first. </p></div></div></div></div><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-db4be8e" data-id="db4be8e" data-element_type="column"><div class="elementor-widget-wrap"></div></div></div></section><section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6af40dd0 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-top elementor-section-content-top elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-height-default" data-id="6af40dd0" data-element_type="section"><div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no"><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-732daad6" data-id="732daad6" data-element_type="column"><div class="elementor-widget-wrap"></div></div><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-11a39036" data-id="11a39036" data-element_type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"><div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4be7919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="4be7919" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><div class="elementor-spacer"><div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-346a89f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="346a89f" data-element_type="section"><div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2e98ab7" data-id="2e98ab7" data-element_type="column"><div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-a75cd00 underline elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="a75cd00" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">What else have we been doing to reduce our carbon footprint?</h2></div></div><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-8bdc614 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="8bdc614" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p>In 2019 we made the switch to renewable electricity which contributed to a significant reduction in our carbon emissions.
