Our Net Zero Ambition: A Commitment to a Sustainable Future

At Grand Central Creative, we believe we have a fundamental responsibility to protect our planet for future generations. The climate challenge is the most critical issue of our time, and we are committed to being part of the solution.

That is why we are proud to announce our commitment to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain by 2035. This is not just an ambition; it is a core business imperative that will guide our decisions, drive our innovation, and define our legacy.

Our Vision for 2035

Our vision is to operate a business that thrives in a zero-carbon economy. By 2035, we will have fundamentally transformed our operations and products to be in harmony with our environment. We see a future where our growth supports the health of our planet, inspiring our industry to follow and proving that a sustainable business is a successful business.

Our Roadmap to Net Zero 

Achieving this ambitious goal requires a clear and decisive plan. Our strategy is built on three core pillars:

Transforming Our Operations

We will start by getting our own house in order. This means a complete overhaul of how we use energy and resources.

• 100% Renewable Energy: We will transition to 100% renewable electricity (where possible) for all our owned operations by 2028.
• Operational Efficiency: We will aggressively reduce our energy consumption by investing in cutting-edge, energy-efficient technologies across all our sites.
• Eliminating Waste: We are committed to circular economy principles, designing out waste and finding value in every material we use.

Innovating Our Value Chain

Our impact extends beyond our own walls. We will work tirelessly with our partners, suppliers, and customers to drive decarbonisation across our entire value chain.

• Sustainable Sourcing: We will partner exclusively with suppliers who share our climate goals and actively work to reduce the carbon footprint of the goods and services we use.
• Product Innovation: We will redesign our products and services to be lower-carbon, helping our customers to reduce their own environmental impact.

Empowering Our People & Community

Our people are our greatest asset in this transition. We will empower our team and engage our community to be a force for positive change.

• A Culture of Sustainability: We will embed sustainability into our company culture, providing our team with the training and tools to be climate champions in their roles.
• Transparency & Accountability: We will report on our progress transparently and hold ourselves accountable to our goal. We commit to sharing our successes and our challenges openly as we navigate this journey.

A Collective Challenge, A Shared Future

The path to Net Zero by 2035 is ambitious. It will require innovation, investment, and resilience. But we are confident that by working together with our employees, partners, and customers, we can achieve our goal and help build a healthier, more sustainable world for everyone.
