Thinking Bigger Than Just Ourselves

At HRW we care deeply about Accessing Reality; whether that’s accessing the reality of the healthcare landscape or the reality that climate change is here and requires urgent action.

Thinking Bigger Than Just Ourselves

We believe in inclusiveness, open communication, and supporting others. We embed this throughout our work for our clients, our development of our people and our commitment towards the community and planet around us.

Supporting colleagues, clients, and our community to build a better future for all of us on this precious planet.

Reducing our Carbon Footprint

We don’t have all the answers – yet! But we believe in transparency, and so we have taken our first step towards reaching that mountaintop.

We’ve now measured our Carbon Footprint for two years running and are in the process of calculating our third year.

We are delighted to see across those first two years, a 36% reduction in our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.  We are well on our way to meet our 42% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 as set with our SBTI target.

We have also rolled out activities at different levels of the business including reducing business travel, reducing our office footprint, and conducting companywide awareness training and initiatives aimed at raising the conversation.

If you’d like to see a detailed breakdown of our footprint and methodology, hit the link below:

Near-Term Science-Based Target

We are proud to have also set our Near-Term Science-Based Target (via the SME pathway) and look to address and reduce our footprint in line with that whilst work towards setting our Net Zero Long-Term targets in due course.

HRW commits to reduce scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, and to measure and reduce our scope 3 emissions.

A science-based target is a target for greenhouse gas emissions reductions that is set based on the level of reduction that science says is required to prevent the effects of climate change. Basing these targets on 1.5°C climate change scenarios means that they are based on the Paris Agreement’s most ambitious goal.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis.

This target was approved using a streamlined target validation route exclusive to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): https://sciencebasedtargets.org/faqs-for-smes/

We pledge to plant a tree each year for every project completed!

We are pleased to act with and contribute to reforestation in partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation focused on global reforestation to create habitat for biodiversity and make a positive social impact around the world.

So far, we’ve planted a tree for every project completed in the last 2 years.
