As an ESG and business ethics specialists, our vision is to align the interests of business, society and the planet. We are committed to protecting the environment in our own operations and take steps to consider the environment in all our business activities, managing our use of energy and other resources responsibly.
We have the greatest potential to make a positive impact through the services we offer our clients. We work with businesses and clients across several sectors to provide actionable and strategic recommendations, aligned with best practices and international frameworks, that improve the sustainability of businesses and accelerate the just transition to a net-zero society
fp Frank Partners strives to uphold the same high environmental standards for our own company’s operations that we recommend to our clients. As part of the consulting sector, our main environmental concerns are linked to high carbon emissions from frequent business travel and office use, and e-waste as a result of regular IT equipment replacement. We have a responsibility to minimise our own impact and we are committed to ongoing efforts to understand and reduce our impact.
Our distributed work model limits our environmental impact as video calls are the primary form of communication between employees, external partners and with clients, where intercity or international travel might otherwise be required.
When in-person meetings are of sufficient benefit to our obligations to our clients and stakeholders to warrant travel, we will do so in moderation and using the lowest-impact mode(s) of travel appropriate to the undertaking, as well as compensating our travel emissions.
fp Frank Partners is mindful of e-waste and aims to utilise IT equipment to the maximum before replacing it with new items. We consider the most environmentally friendly means of disposal or recycling of defunct hardware, and prioritise buying refurbished or second hand IT equipment where the medium-to-long-term environmental benefits outweigh purchasing new.
fp Frank Partners integrates sustainability into our daily practices and assumes responsibility for maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of climate science and environmental regulations, which we adopt in our recommendations to clients and in our own business conduct at every opportunity.
We will work towards sourcing 100% green energy for our own office and choose coworking spaces that share the same commitment to reducing their environmental impact as our own.
We implement energy-efficient technologies, reduce paper consumption, and adopt sustainable sourcing practices. By setting clear targets for waste reduction and energy efficiency, we continuously improve our environmental performance.
fp Frank Partners will conduct a baseline GHG emissions assessment to reduce our carbon footprint and explore appropriate ways to offset our remaining carbon emissions through reliable and trustworthy schemes.
Our employees are encouraged to adopt these same mitigating practices in their home environment.
We understand that achieving true environmental stewardship is an ongoing process that requires dedication and collaboration. At fp Frank Partners, we are steadfast in our commitment to creating sustainable practices that minimize our environmental impact and contribute positively to our ecosystem.
We are currently developing our Environmental Strategy and have initiated a process for collecting and analysing data to calculate our baseline which will inform our KPIs and targets. The Environmental Strategy will be overseen by our CEO, Jakob Ravnborg, but every member of our fp team will receive training on our commitments and policies, and take personal responsibility for ensuring they are implemented. We are available to answer your questions and/or provide any further information or assistance at risk@frankpartners.eu.
Together, we will continue to build a greener and more sustainable fp Frank Partners.
