An update on our carbon emissions reporting

At Business Moves Group (BMG), we are committed to transparency and continuous improvement in our sustainability journey. We have a carbon reduction plan and are externally audited each year by Achilles.

One of the key takeaways from this year’s report is that improved data collection allows us to make more informed decisions. This is the third year of our carbon reporting, and each year we refine our methodology to gain a clearer picture of our environmental impact. As a result, our latest figures of 940.58 tCO2e include more comprehensive tracking of energy use, vehicle emissions, and waste management. This more wide-ranging reporting means that on paper our emissions have increased, but in reality, we simply have a more holistic view. They also give us a more precise benchmark for reducing our footprint in the years ahead.

More comprehensive reporting now also means that reductions from past emissions aren’t captured in the figures. For example, our teams used to rack up tens of thousands of miles a year in car journeys for meetings and site visits. With the shift to online meetings, this number has dropped significantly, cutting emissions that were never officially recorded. This demonstrates an important aspect of sustainability: meaningful reductions can happen even if they don’t always appear in formal reports.

Balancing client-focused sustainability with internal reductions

Historically, we have prioritised helping our clients reduce their environmental impact. Whether through sustainable office moves, furniture reuse, or improved logistics, we’ve focused on making their operations greener. While this remains a core part of our mission, we continue to take steps to address our own emissions. From investing in more energy-efficient vehicles to reducing waste sent to landfill, we’re ensuring our internal sustainability efforts align with the support we provide to clients.

The road ahead

Sustainability isn’t about achieving perfection overnight - it’s a journey of continuous improvement. This year’s figures give us a clearer understanding of where we stand and where we need to focus. With better reporting, we can set realistic targets, implement smarter strategies, and ensure that our growth doesn’t come at the expense of our environmental commitments.

BMG remains committed to reaching net zero by 2040. By refining our processes, embracing new technologies, and making strategic changes, we’re not just reducing our own impact - we’re helping to create a more sustainable future for the businesses we support.
