Our Commitment

Man Bites Dog is a sustainable, woman-owned business, and we ensure sustainability – and ESG more broadly – is core to our purpose, culture, work and operations. We see sustainability as both an ethical imperative and an opportunity to contribute to building a greener, smarter and more equitable economy and society.

We recognise that climate change poses a significant threat to society, nature and the economy, and we are determined to play our part in minimising any negative impact and increasing our positive impact.

As a member of the SME Climate Hub, we pledge to:

• Halve our greenhouse gas emissions before 2030
• Achieve net zero emissions before 2050
• Disclose our progress on a yearly basis

In doing so, we are proud to be recognised by the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion’s Race to Zero campaign. We join governments, businesses, cities, regions, and universities around the world in sharing this mission and working towards a sustainable future for all.

To realise our environmental commitments, we undertake to:

• Track and analyse environmental data: Continuously monitor and evaluate our environmental impact.
• Ensure supplier compliance: Encourage and ensure that our suppliers adhere to environmentally responsible practices.
• Enhance environmental communications: Improve our environmental narrative and messaging inside and outside the business.
• Offset our carbon footprint: Implement measures to offset carbon emissions alongside continued efforts to reduce them overall.
