Sustainability Isn't a Side Project. It's the Standard.
At The Professional Fundraiser, environmental responsibility isn't a policy document. It is embedded in every decision we make — from board-level strategy to the coffee in our mugs.
Held to a Higher Bar
We don't simply "try" to be green. We hold ourselves to the Gold Standard.
Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001 — reflecting our structured and accountable approach to measuring, managing, and continuously improving our environmental impact.
Goals That Drive Action
Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2035 or Sooner
We have set a clear and ambitious goal, and this commitment drives decisive action across our business as we accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.
A 50% Reduction in Scope 1 and 2 Emissions by 2030
We are actively working to reduce emissions through improvements in infrastructure, energy use, and travel — investing in cleaner, more efficient systems and behaviours.
Cleaner Energy, Cleaner Transport, Cleaner Future
Green heating via a sustainable biomass boiler, and a full electric and hybrid vehicle transition — aiming for a 100% low-emission company fleet by 2028.
Every Purchase is a Decision.
Every purchase we make is guided by our environmental and ethical standards. We aim for 100% of procurement to meet high sustainability criteria, supporting responsible suppliers and products.
The Power of Us
Our sustainability strategy only works because of our people. We believe in collective responsibility and everyday action — shared habits that build shared accountability.
Mandatory environmental training for all new starters during induction — building awareness from day one.
Our office lights are motion-activated, so they only use power when they’re needed. We also encourage everyone to be mindful of their energy use and switch off equipment and lights whenever they’re not in use, helping us reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
We strive to make climate-conscious decisions wherever possible. From the products we use to our recycling and green policies in the office, everything is considered.
Our in-office team are encouraged to commute together and cycle or run to work when not working from home.
Each member of our team is encouraged to support causes that are close to their heart. Many of us get involved in green initiatives and volunteering projects, helping to protect and improve our local environments while making a positive difference in our communities.
An Ongoing Journey
Sustainability is not a destination; it is an ongoing journey. We continually review our performance against targets, ensuring we learn, adapt, and improve year on year. Our approach is not static, it evolves as we strive for better outcomes.
