WE'RE REDUCING OUR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT


BY IMPROVING OUR ABILITY TO HELP THE PLANET AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON IT

Love what you do



WHAT'S OUR PLEDGE? 

We, along with the rest of the world, are taking steps to reduce the impact that
business has on the environment and help the planet and the people who live on
it. Inspired by our purpose "to help our people, community and partners get
further, faster with better ways to live, work and play", our pledge is
underpinned by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is our
commitment to ongoing sustainability initiatives to help improve long term peace
and prosperity for people and the planet.




OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY 

At Etch, we take sustainability seriously. Our policy wasn't created overnight -
it took a systematic process of understanding the need, developing a policy, and
then learning and evolving it.  Watch our interview with Head of Innovation,
Seth Campbell, to understand more about our journey.


STAGE ONE:


WHY DO WE NEED A POLICY?




STAGE TWO:


WHAT DOES OUR POLICY LOOK LIKE?




STAGE THREE:


HOW WE'RE EVOLVING OUR POLICY?




WHAT ARE WE DOING?

As part of our ongoing journey to make our business more sustainable, we have
signed up to three initiatives that commit us to action:


SME CLIMATE HUB

This commitment enables Etch to join the United Nations Race to Zero campaign,
which brings together an unprecedented coalition of real economy actors and 120
governments committed to achieving net-zero emissions by no later than 2050.


CLIMATE NEUTRAL NOW

This commitment supports Etch and other interested stakeholders to act now in
order to achieve a climate-neutral world by 2030 as enshrined in the Paris
Agreement. It is a tool to promote additional voluntary action on climate and to
provide recognition for it.


UN GLOBAL COMPACT

The world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, this commitment
supports the mobilisation of a global movement of sustainable companies and
stakeholders to align strategies and operations with universal principles on
human rights, labour, environment, anti-corruption, and action to advance
societal goals.


OUR COMMITMENTS 

Our collective commitments are aligned with those of the three initiatives.
These include: 

 1. 1. Quantify (measure) our greenhouse gas emissions.
    2. Halve our greenhouse gas emissions before 2030.
    3. Plan and implement actions to reduce those emissions to achieve net zero
       emissions in our organisation by 2030 or earlier.
    4. Contribute to further global emission reductions and sustainable
       development through the use of credible carbon credits.
    5. Support the UN Global Compact initiative and its principles. 
    6. Describe practical actions (i.e., disclosure of any relevant policies,
       procedures, or activities) that Etch has taken (or plans to undertake) to
       implement the UN Global Compact principles in each of the four issue
       areas (human rights, labour, environment, anti-corruption). 
    7. Commit to report on yearly progress by measuring outcomes (i.e., the
       degree to which we met targets/performance indicators or other
       qualitative or quantitative measurements of results).

 


DEVELOPING OUR SUSTAINABILITY POLICY.

As part of our pledge, the most recent focus for Etch has been the development
of a sustainability policy and carbon emissions reduction strategy.  The first
step has been to understand the impact our business has on the environment and
our current contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Partnering with
Carbon Analytics:

 1. We have calculated our organisation's carbon footprint, intensity ratios and
    key contributing areas.
    
    
 2. We have set initial targets and begun planning ways to reduce our carbon
    footprint.
    
    
 3. We will report on our initiatives, measurement and reduction at least once a
    year.

We measure our footprint including Scopes 1, 2 and 3 (currently for our upstream
supply chain) using the world's most widely used greenhouse gas accounting
standard the GHG Protocol.


OUR CHARITABLE INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT THE UN SDGS

 


THE WILDMAN FUND 

In 2020 we set up and launched our own charitable initiative, The Wildman Fund,
which supports several of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each
year, Etch select three charities to support. In addition to giving ten per cent
of our net profits to the charities, Etch also offers its expertise to effect
change. Etch's criteria for charity selection is aligned to goals one, four and
five of the UN Sustainability Goals; ending poverty, improving education, and
achieving gender equality.

WHAT'S NEXT? 


CONTINUING THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

We will develop our sustainability policy as part of our ongoing commitment to
improving sustainability by combating climate change and its impact, ending
poverty, improving education, and achieving gender equality. We will continue to
help improve peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the
future.
