What is a Carbon Commitment?

At Lemongrass, we advocate for carbon pledges, personal commitments to reduce emissions within our organisation. We believe in collective efforts to combat climate change and aim to achieve net zero by 2038. Each team member has pledged specific actions to reduce carbon emissions, reinforcing our shared commitment to sustainability and bringing us closer to our net zero goal. You can find out more about carbon literacy on the Carbon Literacy Project website.

Abi’s Carbon Commitments:

  • Implementing Lemongrass’s Green Travel Policy for clients and team. We will be prioritising train travel over flights and reducing the number of trips taken as an agency. These policies will apply to all partners we work with.
  • Carbon budgets for the team and our clients so that we can keep a close eye on where our carbon emissions are coming from and hit our reduction targets YOY. Education and discussion with our partners on what these budgets are and why we are doing them.
  • Allocating budget for team education and training on the topics of carbon emissions. Every team member will go through Carbon Literacy training. Education is key for the whole team so that we can take our clients on this journey with us.
