Tilney Smith & Williamson, the leading integrated UK wealth management and professional services group, announces its commitment to achieve ‘Net-Zero’ greenhouse gas emissions in its corporate operational footprint in support of the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Agreement aims to limit the rise in global temperature to well below 2°C (preferably 1.5°) above pre-industrial levels. To achieve this goal, global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG’s) need to fall by half by 2030, and to reach Net-Zero no later than 2050 according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Work towards achieving Tilney Smith & Williamson’s goal of becoming a ‘Net-Zero’ business with regards to its corporate operational footprint is ongoing and being overseen by the Group’s Corporate Responsibility Committee. The Group is working with an international climate consultancy to support it in the development of a sustainable roadmap with science-based targets and a credible transition plan for achieving Net-Zero corporate emissions. Following this, the Group intend to register with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) as a self-selected company by 31 December 2022.
