Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Apache iX is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
Baseline Year: 2024
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations
Apache iX have baselined emissions in 2024, the company have not previously reported or baselined emissions. The company does not own any assets which are contributing to carbon emissions as a management consultancy. Scope 2 emissions come from the emissions of our managed offices/sites within the UK. Scope 3 captures our emissions from all other categories of emissions produced from consultants undertaking their day to day activities for the business. Some categories within Scope 3 do not have any allocated totals, i.e. are shown as 0.00 (Zero) because there are no qualifying company items to be allocated (e.g. as a consultancy we do not have any products we are purchasing component materials for or are onward distributing so upstream and downstream transportation and distribution).

Emissions reduction targets
Through the use of corporate payment cards, we have offset 60% (258.90 tCO2e) of our 2025 emissions.
To continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
- By 2030, we aspire to be offsetting 80% of our baseline (2024) emissions via credible carbon offsetting schemes – this amounts to 303.73 tCO2e. This will be in conjunction with carbon reduction projects outlined below.
- Apache iX aspires to be Net Zero by 2050, offsetting 100% of our baseline emissions.
These targets will be reviewed annually as part of our Carbon Reduction Plan and supported by the emissions reduction initiatives set out below.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented.
- Carbon Offsetting. All employees have a Business Carbon Pay card and are encouraged to use this card to incur company expenses. Carbon Pay enables us to offset our carbon footprint for each payment by distributing a percentage of the transaction into carbon offsetting initiatives. In 2025 we were able to offset 258.90 tCO2e.
- Cycling Scheme. Apache iX encourages all forms of sustainable and healthy practice and to support in this offers all employees (inclusive of those on probation) a Cycle to Work Scheme through the Green Commute Initiative.
- Paperless Office. Apache iX have no printers on site, we run a paperless office and staff must make specific requests to enable printing on their Apache iX devices limiting the amount of paper waste and enabling the company to accurately track the amount of CO2 emissions.
- Remote Working. Where possible employees are encouraged to work from home and are provided with ICT and peripherals to do this. This supports our commitment to minimise the amount of travel that our employees need to undertake, ensuring that journeys are only made when necessary. Staff are also encouraged to use public transport where appropriate and therefore show a reduction in CO2 emissions.
- Car Sharing. When car travel is the only option, Apache iX provides a monetary incentive to employees to car share.
- Good Business Charter Certification. In 2025 Apache iX achieved certification with the Good Business Charter, highlighting our commitment to sustainability.
- ISO14001. In 2026, Apache iX achieved certification of ISO14001.2015. This proves that our Environmental Management System is in place and compliant with the required standard.
- Increased accuracy of carbon accounting. Apache iX are internally reviewing the way we monitor and report on our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions – we aim to increase the accuracy of our carbon accounting to understand our emissions in greater detail.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
- Apache iX are keeping under constant review via the Apache iX ESG working group opportunities to reduce our carbon emissions.
