Active IQ’s ‘Healthy People, Healthy Planet’ sustainability strategy recognised for its outstanding commitment to making a positive impact on society.
Active IQ is delighted to announce it was named winner of the Social Responsibility initiative of the Year at the 2023 FAB Awards, which recognise the contributions made by awarding organisations and their employees to education and skills in the UK over the past year.
The Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year is awarded to an operator which introduced initiatives demonstrating outstanding commitment to making a positive impact on society. Active IQ's 'Healthy People, Healthy Planet' sustainability strategy outlines an ambitious plan to become a more sustainable business, with the goal of becoming a carbon-neutral organisation by 2024. Active IQ has made significant progress, reducing its estimated CO2 emissions from 207.46 tonnes in 2019 to 142.66 tonnes in 2022, reflecting its dedication to a more sustainable and responsible approach.
Dave Erasmus, Chairman of carbon management platform, Our Carbon, who helped Active IQ develop its strategy, commented: “Active IQ's success at the FAB Awards is a rightful recognition of their deep commitment to carbon responsibility, far beyond mere lip service. Their approach is considered, consistent and clear and focused on deep cultural change in sustainability. At Our Carbon, we take pride in having equipped Active IQ with an approach grounded in transparency and accuracy, guiding their initial steps on this meaningful shift. Their progress serves as an inspiring example for others to follow.”
Managing Director of Active IQ, Jenny Patrickson further added: “We are honoured to be recognised for our sustainability strategy, a testament to Active IQ's unwavering commitment to building a sustainable future. As we journey towards carbon neutrality by 2024, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of a more sustainable and responsible approach, inspiring others to join us on this crucial path. I extend my gratitude to the entire Active IQ team for their dedication and to Our Carbon for guiding us on this meaningful shift toward a brighter, greener future."
