Nixon Hire Commits To Environmental Industry’s ‘Pledge To Net Zero’
As part of Nixon Hire’s continued efforts to become more sustainable and help shape the future of the construction industry, they have recently been added to the list of signatories for ‘Pledge To Net Zero’, the environmental industry’s global commitment to tackle greenhouse gas emissions.
The ‘Pledge To Net Zero’ initiative has been approved as a formal partner to the United Nation’s ‘Race To Zero’ campaign – a global campaign to rally fast climate action from businesses, cities, regions, investors and universities worldwide that prevents future threats to the environment, ahead of COP26.
By becoming a signatory and making the Pledge, Nixon Hire have commited to:
Set and commit to deliver greenhouse gas reductions in line with Science Based Targets’ 1.5°C climate change scenario
Publicly report greenhouse gas emissions and progress against this target each year
Publish one piece of research/thought-leadership each year on practical steps to delivering an economy in line with climate science and in support of net zero carbon. Alternatively, signatories may choose to provide mentoring and support for smaller signatory companies in setting targets, reporting and meeting requirements of the pledge
The pledge recognises the need for those in the environmental sector to demonstrate leadership and take strong actions to mitigate the most significant impacts of climate change.
“ESG is a key component in Nixon Hire’s company wide vision and values and with great pride, Nixon Hire are committed to ‘Pledge To Net Zero’. We welcome the challenge and hard work it requires to provide a more sustainable world for future generations. We are also involved in many other initiatives which are designed to support the construction industry implement environmentally friendly solutions and I look forward to sharing more with you in the coming weeks.
