Business Ambition for 1.5 C

Edge is a full service sustainability consultancy which partners with businesses to help them achieve their sustainability goals. We work across strategy, leadership and stakeholder engagement through to target setting, analysis, delivery and communication.

 

Edge Environment is committed to taking an evidence-based, life-cycle approach to tackling sustainability problems. It is this approach that underpins our own science-based targets and the work we do with clients looking to improve their triple bottom line sustainability.

 

Edge commits to maintain its scope 2 emissions close to zero by 2022, through continued use of renewable energy. In addition, the company commits to reduce scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services by 28% and from business travel by 13% by 2027 from a 2017 base-year.

 

The targets covering greenhouse gas emissions from company operations (scopes 1 and 2) are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. The renewable energy procurement target covering scope 2 emissions is consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.

 

As sustainability consultants we spend our time working with companies in a range of sectors to show them the enormous value that can be created by shifting to a low-carbon business model. But we didn’t believe that could be credible unless we were prepared to ‘walk the talk’ ourselves. One thing you realise when setting SBTs is that, increasingly, leading companies are going to be expecting suppliers to demonstrate their sustainability credentials. That means making a public commitment, like setting an SBT, represents a way to future-proof our business.

For Businesses

About committing

Innovative leaders and their businesses are uniquely positioned to accelerate the Race to Zero and can have a measurable impact on communities striving for a climate-resilient future.

Together with a climate-positive impact on communities, businesses can future-proof their growth, manage risk, build resilience against regulation, drive industry innovation, and strengthen brand reputation.

And like all meaningful progress, it starts with a commitment.

Businesses are invited to sign and commit via one of the Race to Zero’s partner initiatives.

  • Business Ambition for 1.5 Degrees – choose this initiative if your organisation wants to set a net-zero target in line with a 1.5°C future.
  • SME Climate Hub – choose this initiative if your organisation has 500 or less employees
  • The Climate Pledge – choose this initiative if your organisation wants to reach net zero carbon by 2040, reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement 10 years early.

Once committed, businesses have 12 months to plan strategies and actions that will achieve their interim and long-term targets of net-zero emissions by 2050. With shared resources and communications material at their disposal, businesses will spring into action and make public an annual progress report to showcase their ongoing efforts and commitment to a sustainable climate-resilient future.

If your business is ready to commit to the Race to Zero in Australia at the head-of-organisation level, you’re in the right place!
