NET ZERO

At SO Sustainability, we take full responsibility for our environmental impact. We set ambitious sustainability targets, continuously measuring our progress to ensure we stay on track.

Net Zero sits at the heart of our sustainability strategy. But what does this challenge look like? And is it even achievable at SME level? We think it is. For sure it won’t come easy but nothing of this magnitude ever does. Part guided by our amazing sustainability partners, part learning from our journey to date and with the massive sense of optimism that we bring to all big challenges we have drawn up our 10 Steps to Net Zero. Not quite a blueprint that guarantees success; more a signal of intent, with a bit of detail!
