Our Impact

At Positive Planet, our purpose has always been to help businesses create a better future for people and the planet.

Since launching, we’ve grown into an expert-led, tech-powered sustainability partner, helping organisations understand their impacts, make informed decisions and turn sustainability ambition into meaningful action.

But creating positive change starts with us, too. We believe in leading by example, taking responsibility for our own impact and continually looking for ways to do better. That means being transparent about our progress, investing in our people and contributing positively to the communities around us.

“We launched Positive Planet because we could see both the challenges climate change presented to businesses and the opportunities that came with doing things differently. We wanted to help organisations navigate that change, future-proof their operations and make sustainability work for them. That purpose continues to shape everything we do.”

Adam White & Stephen Henry, Co-Founders of Positive Planet

Our Commitment to Transparency

Understanding our own impact is an important part of the work we do. Our annual Impact Reports give us the opportunity to reflect on our progress, recognise what’s working and be honest about where we need to improve.

They cover our environmental footprint, our people and culture, and our social impact, helping us hold ourselves accountable to the same principles we encourage our clients to embrace.

As Positive Planet grows, so does the importance of measuring our impact consistently, learning from the data and using those insights to inform what comes next.

Our Environmental Impact

We help businesses understand and reduce their environmental impact, and we apply that same principle to our own operations.

Measuring our carbon footprint helps us understand where our emissions come from, how our business activities influence them and where we can focus our reduction efforts. As our team and services evolve, it’s important that we continue to improve the quality of our data and look beyond headline emissions to understand the wider picture.

Our Impact Reports share our carbon footprint data, highlight changes over time and explore the opportunities to reduce our emissions as we continue to grow.

For us, progress means being honest about the challenges as well as recognising the improvements we make along the way.

Our People & Culture

Our people are at the heart of Positive Planet. Their expertise, curiosity and commitment make the difference in how we support our clients and contribute to a more sustainable future. We want to create a workplace where people feel valued, supported and able to develop. That means encouraging collaboration, sharing knowledge and creating opportunities for our team to learn and grow together.

As our business develops, our culture develops with it. We’re committed to building an inclusive, supportive environment where different perspectives are welcomed and everyone can play a part in our collective impact.

“At Positive Planet, diversity and inclusion are key to our success, fostering creativity, innovation, and better problem-solving. Our diverse team strengthens our connection with clients and communities, driving our impact. The passion and commitment of our team have been central to our success, and we empower growth through continuous learning, teamwork, and open communication in the dynamic carbon consulting sector.”

Lewis Parker, Project Delivery Executive, Positive Planet

Our Social Impact

Positive change extends beyond our work with clients. We want to make a meaningful contribution to the communities around us, too.

Through our company-wide volunteering initiatives, we’ve supported local community projects focused on improving green spaces and creating places for people to connect with nature.

Our previous volunteering activities have included working with Lakeside Community Interest Company to help transform a neglected space into a community allotment, and supporting Hulme Community Garden Centre in its work promoting sustainability, horticulture and respect for the environment. We’ve also supported Mustard Tree, who create opportunities to help improve economic wellbeing and find settled homes, with a food and Christmas gift drive.

These experiences reflect our belief that small, practical actions can make a real difference. We’re proud of the time and energy our team contributes, and we continue to look for opportunities to create positive change beyond our day-to-day work.

Our impact, year by year

We know that meaningful progress takes commitment, transparency and a willingness to keep learning. Our annual Impact Reports document how we’re progressing, what we’ve achieved and where we want to do better.
