Our Carbon Reduction Plan

Supplier name: Cigniti Technologies Limited
Publication date: 31st April 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.

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.

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been implemented since
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
    1500+ saplings were planted by Cignitians
  • Appointed Midhun Pingili (AVP – 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.
