Reducing Our Carbon Footprint: Hatmill’s Continued Commitment to Sustainability

In a groundbreaking partnership with Flotilla, we’ve developed a robust carbon compensation strategy to address our travel-related emissions from the last financial year. We’re proud to announce that we’re compensating for all our FY 2023 travel-related emissions through investment in high-quality, verified carbon removal projects.

Our collaboration with Flotilla and Cloverly, the carbon market platform of the year has been instrumental in this initiative.

The projects we’ve invested in are not just any carbon compensation schemes. They are carefully vetted to ensure they effectively lock away and remove carbon from our atmosphere. Here’s a brief overview of these initiatives:

• S&J Taylor Forest Carbon Project, USA: This project in south-central Arkansas conserves 18,000 acres of diverse hardwood and pine forests, protecting the Upper Saline River. It focuses on improved forest management to sequester carbon and provide co-benefits like enhanced water resources and biodiversity protection.
• Agreena Carbon Project, Denmark: Spanning over 17 European countries, this project supports farmers in transitioning to regenerative agriculture. It enhances the storage of soil organic carbon (SOC), improves soil fertility, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable land management practices.
• CarbonApp – Igloo Project, France: The Igloo project in France utilises bio-based materials from recycled wastepaper to create cellulose fibre insulation. This insulation stores CO2 in buildings for at least 50 years while also providing significant energy savings.
• Carbon Removal in Bio-Based Construction, Austria: This Austrian project repurposes sawmill waste from sustainably managed forests into innovative building materials. It locks carbon away for at least 60 years, reducing the construction industry’s environmental footprint and promoting eco-conscious growth.

These projects are more than just carbon offsets; they are a testament to our commitment to the planet and future generations.

At Hatmill we believe it’s imperative to lead by example. Our efforts go beyond compensation; we have a carbon reduction plan approved by SBTi, ensuring our actions align with science-based targets and are not merely greenwashing.

We’re on a journey to not just reduce our footprint but to leave a positive impact, with the ambitious goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2039, while also helping our clients move towards green logistics. Read more about how we can help you work towards net zero.
