Scope
We measure Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased electricity, market-based) and material Scope 3 categories including business travel, purchased goods and services, and homeworking emissions across our UK, Lithuania and US offices.
Reduction Commitments
Renewable-tariff electricity in UK and EU offices, hybrid working as the default, a supplier code of conduct preferring lower-carbon vendors, and reduced-paper card issuance via virtual-card and digital-wallet provisioning.
Offsetting
Residual unavoidable emissions are offset annually through Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Gold Standard projects. Offset volumes and project references are published in our annual ESG disclosure.
Card Materials
Where physical cards are issued, we offer recycled-PVC and bio-based PLA card body options as standard for new programmes. Our cards are produced using 76% recycled post-industrial waste, and are Mastercard eco-friendly certified.
