Marking Earth Day 2024, the Focusrite Group has announced that it has achieved the Ecologi For Our Planet Gold Award and has committed to setting science-based emission reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

In the past year, The Focusrite Group claims to have calculated its environmental footprint down to individual component level on products and communicated transparently about its emissions in the Environment and Climate Report. This represents a baseline for how the Group aims to continue to decarbonise. This commitment to the environment has won the Group the Ecologi For Our Planet Gold Award, signifying its successful reporting, target setting, decarbonisation work, and substantial funding of climate action projects.

Focusrite secures Ecologi For Our Planet Gold Award‘We are thrilled to collaborate with Focusrite Group as a sustainability partner, aiding the company’s support for a portfolio of high-quality, validated climate projects from around the world,’ says Ecologi Key Account Manager, Joshua Price.

‘Additionally, it is our pleasure to honour them with a For Our Planet award. Focusrite Group is advancing impressively towards net zero through ambitious emissions reduction goals and a robust net-zero strategy.’

Focusrite Group has responded to the urgent call for corporate climate action by committing to align with the 1.5°C and net-zero targets through the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign. ‘The Group has committed to set near-term and net-zero company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the SBTi,’ the company says, with work underway to develop near-term and net-zero targets to be submitted for validation within 24 months.

‘Aligning the Focusrite Group with this effort has been a key part of our environmental strategy,’ says Focusrite Group Global Head of Sustainability, Andy Land. ‘We started by looking at our internal operations, then our products, and now how we fit within our industry and beyond.

‘By committing to setting science-based targets for decarbonisation we are following the latest climate science and plan to publish our ambitious targets in full. These will include annual reduction goals, ultimately forecast towards achieving net-zero emissions as early as possible. However, any actions we take on our own will not prevent global temperature rises, so we call on other companies to take the same action by committing to science-based 1.5°C and net-zero targets.’

The SBTi, a corporate climate action organisation with notable partners such as CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, and WWF, provides the standards and tools for companies to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets in line with the latest climate science.

‘Focusrite Group encourages other companies to join in this imperative endeavour by also committing to science-based 1.5°C and net-zero targets, reinforcing the collective call for a sustainable and equitable future.’
