Global claims services provider McLarens has achieved the Planet Mark Business Certification, recognising its efforts in carbon footprint measurement and reduction, and underlining its commitment to sustainability.

McLarens engaged Planet Mark to externally validate its carbon impact as a company, measuring and benchmarking the global business’ impact, engaging all staff, and credibly communicating its progress.

The company is now working with Planet Mark towards an annual carbon reduction target of 5%. It is also contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through its annual certification. By completing Planet Mark Business Certification, organisations can contribute to 9 of the UN SDGs annually.

McLarens’ scope 1, 2 and core elements of scope 3 carbon emissions have been measured, reported and verified by Planet Mark. McLarens is continuing to work with Planet Mark to calculate its full Scope 3 emissions.

Liz Tubb, group general counsel and head of McLarens’ Sustainability Committee said: “We are proud to announce that we are now a Planet Mark Certified Business. Sustainability and business go hand in hand. We care about our planet, and our actions speak louder than words.

“With the help of Planet Mark, we achieved significant milestones in the measurement our current emissions and set targets for carbon reduction. This is an incredible achievement involving the entire business.

“At McLarens we acknowledge that we are on an ESG improvement journey. We are realistic yet we are ambitious. There’s a lot of discussion about sustainability and what appealed to us about the Planet Mark certification was its focus on making a tangible difference.”
