Athera Healthcare is Carbon Neutral (with Newgate soon to follow!)

Embedded within our ESG strategy lies our vision for fostering transformative, positive change. By forging strong partnerships with our stakeholders and customers, we are committed to realising the UN’s SDGs, driving impactful progress towards a sustainable future.
Our ESG Environmental Lead, Brad Moss, explains how he’s helped us achieve carbon offsetting at Athera Healthcare (and how he’s tackling our latest addition to the group, Newgate).
“I started with monitoring and recording our emissions for the past year to get an idea of where we stand. Unsurprisingly, most of our emissions come from remote working and travel. Since we don’t have an office, we can’t do things such as switching to green energy suppliers or cutting down on waste, which made reducing emissions directly a challenge.”
“That’s why we went for carbon offsetting as a key way to achieve carbon neutrality”.
I found Ecologi and chose them as our supplier because they’re an ethical company, a certified B-Corp, and their projects are verified by Gold Standard or VCS, the top offset certifiers, which is just what we needed.
We opted for afforestation carbon removal, supporting the São Paulo Afforestation project. This initiative contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (listed on the project page) and we now offset enough emissions to make the FingerPrint/Netsolving side of the business carbon neutral, which I think is pretty cool!
But being close to carbon neutral doesn’t mean we’re done, I need to now consider how we can start offsetting our Newgate office and staff’s carbon output, as well as research new initiatives that we can do to further cut down our emissions!”
Thank you so much for your efforts Brad!
