Our Carbon Reduction Plan
Publication date: 20th Jan 2023
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Cigniti Technologies Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past
and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline
emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
Baseline year: 2021

Emissions reduction targets
We are committed to becoming Net Zero by 2050 across our locations. Underpinning this
commitment are the following carbon reduction targets. We project that carbon emissions will
decrease over 30% tCO2e by 31st December 2030.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been implemented since
the 2021 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved in 2022 by these schemes equate
to 81327 tCO2e, a 10% reduction against the 2021 baseline.
- Implemented a travel embargo and promoted e-meetings and networking, which
reduced travel emissions. - Sourced renewable electricity for our buildings
- Commencing a rolling programme of capital upgrades to our offices (e.g. installing LEDs;
and decarbonising our heating systems) - Invested in digital technology and the development of a ‘Sustainable Delivery
Framework’ to help us reduce project-related travel emissions - Implemented sapling plantation drive called as Cignitree, where more than
100 saplings were planted by Cignitians - Appointed Midhun Pingili (Senior Director – Marketing) as Sustainability
Officer, who will look after Environment, Social and Governance initiatives
including Sustainability.
In the future we are planning to implement further measures such as:
- Raising awareness through campaigns, roadshows and awareness
programmes - Developing new practices, processes and carbon offset initiatives
- We will continue to host green building premises
- Commencing a rolling programme of capital upgrades to our offices (e.g. installing LEDs;
and decarbonising our heating systems) - Procuring 5 star rated equipment to reduce power consumption
- Invest in certified, market solutions for emissions, which we cannot eliminate
- We will progress towards Social Value Quality Mark Level 2 which includes pledge on
environment sustainability
In the future we will continue to create projects around the above themes of recycle and
renewable electricity, business travel emissions reduction, green house building optimization,
and efficient operations. We will also ensure wider sustainability decisions into our business
operations, empower our associates to lead by example, and convene ecosystems that will
enable us to reduce carbon emission across the locations that we operate.
