3.0 Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Digital Works Consulting Limited (t/as Digital Works Group) is committed to achieving Net Zero for our Company and through our primary supply chain as soon as it is feasibly possible (estimated to be 2028).

Our continuation of our full ‘Working from home/Remote working’ policy ensured we started at a low baseline, therefore our emissions are all in Scope 3, and are orientated to the goods and services we purchase and business travel to clients (we have no travel to our offices).

As of July 2026, the following ongoing and additional environmental management measures and projects have been implemented since the 2023 baseline – with the carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 17.5 tCO2e, a 10.8% reduction and has allowed us to meet our 2025 reduction target.

Reducing Business Travel

  • As part of our ESG policy we have implemented strict guidelines for business travel and have trained the team as part of our annual policy review and audit to prioritise virtual meetings where a physical one is not necessary; and where remote is not possible, encouraging car-pooling.
  • We have also supported the team in this by providing them with appropriate digital solutions to be able to remote work effectively – such as M365 Teams and Miro collaboration boards – reducing the need for commuting and physical office space.
  • This is an approach we have also, where possible, trained and empowered our clients to adopt to improve their ways or working and to benefit their own ESG targets. Having embedded this into our transformation methodologies to ensure ESG commitments are ensured as part of the change process.

Purchasing Goods and Services

  • As part of our supplier selection and management policy, we only engage with strategic suppliers who assess their own carbon footprint and agree to work collaboratively with us to reduce emissions throughout the supply chain (as reflected in our terms and conditions and contracts). For example, we have worked collaboratively with Entelect (a strategic engineering partner) to minimise unnecessary data centre usage when working with us, and ensure the use of suppliers in this area who are committed to emission reductions and ISO14001 best-practice processes.
  • We have trained our team to favour local traders who source goods and services locally to each consultant’s home to minimise transportation emissions. This is reflected in our BYOD (bring your own device) policy.
  • Our team has also been trained in how to identify and purchase eco-friendly products and services – such as eliminating single use plastics.
  • Forming part of our annual ESG policy training approach, adopting a process of continuously improving our EMS (environmental management system), and placing the fulfilment of this approach and plan as part of the executive remit our Chief Executive Officer of our consulting business and to act on behalf of our Board of Directors – who have signed our published carbon reduction plan here (Carbon Reduction Plan · Welcome to Digital Works Group) as of July 2026.

Through 2026 and beyond we hope to implement further measures such as:

  • By the end of 2026, we are committed to achieving ISO14001 certification. We believe this will place us on the right footing to aggressively reduce our emissions inline with our targets from 2026 through 2028.
  • As part of this process, we will also apply ESG performance measures as part of the reward targets of the teams, incentivising them further to adhere to our future certification best-practices.
  • We also plan and have budgeted to use a carbon offset credits approach, paying for ethical service projects to reduce our emissions to zero by the target timeline – where our emissions prove too stubborn to achieve in time.

This is so we can achieve the more substantive reductions we expect in 2026 and beyond and ultimately meet our Net Zero target by our committed timeline.
