Sustainability and Social Value

At Vertas we strive to support local communities and respect our environment.

The Vertas Group understands the importance of preserving the environment. We have taken a proactive stance in reducing the impact of our operations. We are committed to improving our environmental performance continuously and positively influencing the sustainability performance of our supply chain.

At Vertas Group we acknowledge that we have an important role to play in society’s transition to a Net Zero economy as a means of mitigating the worst impacts of climate change.

Vertas Group is committed to achieving Net Zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions across the entire value chain by 2050 from a 2022 baseline year. This commitment is further supported by a near term target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2030. Net zero will be achieved by reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90%.

To further demonstrate our commitment to protecting the environment Vertas Group has a robust management system with certification to ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 50001 Energy Management. As well as this we hold Carbon Charter Silver certification and Planet Mark Business certification.

The enthusiasm and creativity shown by the Vertas team in organising and delivering fun and hugely successful fundraising activities is extremely impressive and shows no sign of slowing down. Cancer Research UK receives no Government funding so our life-saving work is entirely dependent on individual and corporate supporters.”
