Netwatch Global

Sustainability

Here at NetWatch, we are committed to a more sustainable future.

On this page you can learn about our commitments, our aims and our metrics, as well as the challenges we face as a business and our next steps to tackle these. NetWatch has prioritized commitments which are evidence based, as well as following the lead of global experts, such as the United Nation's Division for Sustainable Development Goals (UN DSDG).

Our sustainability aims

We have the following sustainability aims as a company:

  1. To improve energy efficiency and reduce overall GHG emissions in line with our SBTi targets. This will be measured annually by kWh.

  2. To reduce overall wastage and improve performance against the waste hierarchy and specifically to reduce the use of single-use plastics in our office environment. This will be measured by total tonnes of waste to landfill, percentage of waste recycled, water consumption by m2 and our embodied carbon emissions.

  3. To deliver a safe, healthy and inclusive environment for all employees. This will be measured by health and safety incident statistics and employee responses to our annual satisfaction survey.

  4. To drive decarbonization of our operations towards a 2050 net-zero goal in line with our SBTi targets. This will be measured annually by our total emissions in scope 1, 2 and 3.

Science Based Targets Initiative

In July 2023, NetWatch joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which seeks to ensure that all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets are science-based, feasible and will meet the 1.5°C goal.

NetWatch has committed to reducing scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, and to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions. We have also committed to reaching net-zero by 2050 and therefore have committed to reducing scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year.

ESG Report

We report our annual progress towards these goals through our ESG Report, which includes our emissions data for the previous year, our health and safety metrics, labor and diversity metrics, and relevant updates to our Employee Assistance Programme.
