Sustainability in research

The research sector is increasingly stepping up to address the global climate crisis. As professionals, we have a dual responsibility: to minimize the environmental impact of our own operations, and to empower our clients with the insights they need to understand and reduce the footprint of their products and services.

Research organizations can demonstrate their commitment by signing up to the Climate Pledge, which now brings together over 80 signatories dedicated to reducing emissions. A wide range of resources and best-practice guidance is available to support organisations on this journey. Additionally, a Carbon Calculator has been developed to help yo nmeasure and compare the emissions associated with different research projects and methodologies — enabling more informed, sustainable decisions across the sector.
