## What's inside

### This year’s Environmental Impact Report shares how we’re evolving our sustainability approach across three key areas:

- Sustainability and AI  
    We explore the tension between technological progress and environmental responsibility, particularly in AI. We’re one of the few organisations openly publishing AI model energy data and pushing for more transparency across the sector.
- Measuring what matters  
    From emissions tracking to stakeholder engagement, we’ve matured our reporting practices, clarified metrics, and made progress toward our Net Zero by 2030 target. But we’re also honest about what’s hard, like Scope 3 data and defining meaningful accountability.
- Investing in our workplace  
    We ran a sustainable office audit, launched a staff home improvements grant, and opened our Collingwood office to environmental organisations at reduced cost. These changes may seem small, but they’re part of a bigger shift in how we model low-impact systems.

 

 

 

> “Sustainability is not just good policy—it’s smart, ethical, and essential business.”
