Reporting year: 2024

Emissions Reduction Targets

We project that carbon emissions will decrease to 20 tCO₂e by 2030, a reduction of 50% from our 2023 baseline.

We aim to halve our emissions by 2030 and fully offset remaining residual emissions annually from 2040, achieving net zero by 2050.

Our Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed carbon reduction initiatives (since 2023 baseline):

- Transition to a hybrid remote-first model, reducing commuting and office energy use.

- Adoption of virtual-first meetings with clients and staff to minimise travel.

- Audit of cloud services to encourage sustainable software development practices and reduce unnecessary compute time.

- Migration to cloud providers with 100% renewable energy commitments (i.e. Amazon WebServices – Marino Software is an AWS Partner).

Estimated reduction from these measures: 7 tCO₂e (a 17.5% reduction from baseline)

Future carbon reduction initiatives:

- Adoption of energy-efficient workspace lighting and heating controls.

- Regular developer training on sustainable software engineering practices.

- Implementation of a formal Green Travel Policy to favour rail over air where feasible.

- Offset remaining emissions using high-quality verified carbon removal schemes? Annual review and publication of emissions data and progress.

- Annual review and publication of emissions data and progress.
