Sustainability Policy

Acclaro Advisory is an independent sustainability consultancy, excelling in helping organisations achieve their climate ambitions while effectively managing climate risks and materiality considerations. We collaborate with our clients to maximise their performance by improving environmental and social outcomes and support them to achieve zero carbon and positive social impact. As a values-driven company, we are committed to embedding sustainability principles into our daily business operations. This commitment includes sourcing environmentally and socially responsible suppliers, offsetting work-related CO2 emissions, and encouraging employees to actively engage in their communities. By fostering a culture where sustainability and quality are integral, we support a lasting positive impact in everything we do.

Acclaro Advisory is committed to conducting its business responsibly, with careful consideration to the impact on the environment, economy and society. We aim to meet all legal requirements as well as align with current best practices. In areas within our control, we strive to minimise adverse effects by focusing on reducing carbon emissions and waste, optimising resource efficiency, fostering community engagement and promoting awareness and understanding.

In order to achieve this commitment Acclaro Advisory will:

1. Integrate the management of sustainability into our strategic and operational business processes.
2. Adopt a systematic approach to managing our sustainability performance in line with the requirements of ISO 14001 and the UN Global Compact.
3. Fully comply with all relevant environmental legislation and other requirements as a minimum.
4. Set targets for improving our sustainability performance and measure against these.
5. Be open about our sustainability performance both internally and externally with regulatory authorities and with the community at large.
6. Adopt a Net Zero target supported by a carbon reduction plan and report progress annually, through our SME Hub Climate commitment.
7. Ensure that our employees and suppliers are competent and trained to carry out their work safely and with due regard for the environment and are familiar with our systems.
8. Promote the value and benefits of improved sustainability performance to the communities we operate within.
9. Share knowledge and information to help foster an understanding and awareness of sustainability within the built environment.
10. Recognise the contribution to Acclaro Advisory’s sustainability performance delivered by our associates and suppliers through specialist technical advice and support to our business activities.
11. Provide employees with 2 days paid leave per annum for volunteering activities which align with Acclaro’s core values.

This policy will be reviewed periodically to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
