Aether’s commuting carbon footprint halved in 2014

5 March 2015

We calculate Aether’s carbon footprint annually and we offset the emissions that were not avoided.

Aether’s commuting carbon footprint halved in 2014. Near the end of 2013 we moved our main UK office to the centre of Oxford. This has contributed to a reduction of 56% in the carbon footprint of our staff commuting in 2014 compared to 2013.

We incentivise staff to make sustainable travel choices through our Low Carbon Travel Incentive Scheme. If a member of staff chooses a less convenient mode of transport but that is carbon saving, they will receive a financial incentive to do so. This is calculated by allocating a monetary value to the carbon saving between the chosen mode and the most convenient option.

“ It is always an absolute pleasure working with Aether. I always know what is expected of me. Their work ethic is of a very high standard and projects are always handled in a very professional manner. I have learnt many skills in terms of project management, quality control and workshop training styles from Aether and I hope to carry these principles forward in my own work. I look forward to collaborating with Aether more in the future. ”

I would be happy to recommend the Aether team to organisations working on analysing and presenting emissions information in the public domain. ”

“ From their winning bid to final delivery, Aether's work with North Norfolk District Council was positive and thorough. They brought a clear understanding of the challenges local authorities face regarding carbon emissions and quickly understood the unique nature of the Coastwise project. Communication was effective, and the outcomes combined a depth of research with real-world utility for the council's activities around carbon emissions and mitigation. ”

Alastair Zangs, North Norfolk District Council

“ The professional service provided by your company was of very high quality and completed within agreed timelines. ”
