Ground Control is proud to announce its continued progress towards achieving its net zero target by 2038. The company has seen a significant reduction in t Co2e emissions for the 2024/25 financial year, with a 16% decrease in total emissions and a 17% decline in the emissions intensity ratio over the past two years despite rapid corporate growth.

This reduction has been achieved through a focus on best practices in emissions reduction across all scopes, including direct activity and operations (scope 1 and 2) as well as supply chain emissions (scope 3).  This improvement in carbon intensity suggests that emissions growth has been partially decoupled from business expansion, as turnover rose by 74% over
the same period.

Since the baseline year (2020/21), Ground Control has implemented and continuously improved on sustainable initiatives such as the use of battery-powered tools and electric vehicles, holding contractors accountable for sustainable waste management, and optimising routes to reduce travel time and emissions.

This is a remarkable achievement and a clear demonstration that growth and sustainability can thrive together when guided by purpose. Cutting our emissions by over 16% while scaling our operations is no small feat. It reflects the dedication of our people, the strength of our partnerships, and the accountability we expect across our entire supply chain.
For us, reaching net zero by 2038 is both a target and a promise. A commitment to doing what’s right and driving meaningful change through action, innovation, and accountability every single day.

Ground Control's verified carbon reduction targets include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FYE 2030 and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% by the same year. The company aims to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by FYE 2038 and maintain at least a 90% reduction in emissions from 2030 through 2050. 

With a strong focus on sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint, Ground Control is dedicated to leaving the world in a better place for future generations.
