Turley<\/a> has become a carbon neutral company as part of its ongoing commitment to tackle the climate emergency and encourage a green economic recovery<\/h2>\n

Turley has voluntarily reported its carbon footprint since 2016, has calculated, reduced and offset all emissions associated with its activity to achieve CarbonNeutral\u00ae<\/sup> company certification in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The carbon neutral company drove down emissions through smarter and greener ways of working, Turley partnered with leading experts in carbon neutrality and climate finance, Natural Capital Partners, to develop a blend of measures.<\/p>\n

These include powering offices with renewable energy<\/a> and funding a high-quality carbon offset project to address remaining unavoidable emissions.<\/p>\n

Making clean groundwater accessible<\/h3>\n

This carbon offset project provides communities in Kenya with access to clean groundwater and is community-managed by teams with a 50\/50 gender split. This reduces pressure on nearby forests, empowers local people and improves the health of families.<\/p>\n

Turley is also funding projects to deliver tree cover growth and enhance biodiversity<\/a> through the restoration of mangroves on Mtwapa Creek, near Mombasa, as well as supporting new woodland in Cumbria under the UK\u2019s Woodland Carbon Code.<\/p>\n

Turley\u2019s carbon neutral strategy has been developed in conjunction with its market-leading in-house sustainability team which is currently advising a number of clients and projects on net zero carbon strategies.<\/p>\n

The strategy is aligned with UK climate change targets and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will see the business offset 169 tonnes of CO2<\/sub> for its first year of certification.<\/p>\n

Reducing the sector\u2019s impact on climate change<\/h3>\n

Turley\u2019s chief executive, Dave Trimingham, said: \u201cOur commitment to carbon neutrality as a business is just the first step in the evolution of our sustainability strategy.<\/p>\n

“There are interesting times ahead and we are well placed to combine our skills of place-shaping and sustainability to help clients and co-professionals look at new ways to reduce and mitigate the sector\u2019s impact on climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colin Morrison, senior director, head of sustainability at Turley, added: \u201cWorking with Natural Capital Partners, we identified UN Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> that enable us to achieve objectives we less commonly meet as part of our development consultancy.<\/p>\n

“The water infrastructure project in Kenya supports multiple SDGs across the community and surrounding environment including clean water and sanitation, and life on land.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing sustainable can no longer just be about making incremental gains, we all need to work towards achieving carbon neutrality wherever possible while supporting other environmental efforts at the same time.”<\/p>\n
