The Royal Academy of Engineering harnesses the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone.
Achieving the Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations by measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and engaging its stakeholders.
By being more strategic about its environmental responsibility, the Royal Academy of Engineering will be able to significantly increase its positive impact and hope to encourage continual improvements within its community.
Through Planet Mark, the company is protecting an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Its pledge through Cool Earth goes directly towards supporting the Asháninka community in Central Peru.
It is also helping the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.
To recertify next year Royal Academy of Engineering must reduce emissions by 2.5%.
A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
