SUSTAINABILITY
We want to build AI that’s good for the world
Committing to net zero carbon emissions in 2022 is, really, a no-brainer.
As a global community, we must collectively remove at least 8 billion tonnes of carbon
per year from the atmosphere by 2050 to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
1. Measuring our emissions
As always, we’re starting with the data, closely monitoring and calculating our annual carbon footprint.
2. Offsetting our emissions
As a short to medium term measure, we balance every ounce of carbon we produce by purchasing carbon removal offsets – measurable, verifiable emission reductions from climate action projects.
3. We’re working to actively limit our emissions over time
We’ve switched to a renewable energy provider in our office and are exploring zero carbon initiatives like sustainable cloud computing. As we grow and expand, we will ensure we keep our carbon per head constant.
The commitments we’re making
In partnership with Technation and Bulb, we’ve joined 14 other fastest-growing tech companies in the Tech Zero Taskforce to commit to net zero and take climate action.
As part of our net zero pledge, we are committing to:
- Measure our organisation’s emissions each year
- Purchase carbon offsets in the short to medium term to achieve net zero
- Appoint a dedicated member of our leadership team to be responsible and accountable for our net zero target
- Report our progress annually to our board and on our website
- Communicate our climate commitments with our customers
Our work in tackling climate change with AI
From optimising energy usage to monitoring the emissions of individual
assets, AI can play a key role in protecting the environment.
