Sustainability

The FT is committed to reducing our emissions as a business, advancing sustainable behaviours in the workplace, and providing trusted information to readers through initiatives like Climate Capital and Moral Money.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS

We have science-based targets in place to reduce our total emissions through 2030, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5C, and to pursue a path to ‘net zero’ emissions by no later than 2050.

Our 2023 impact report includes a breakdown of our latest verified emissions data and how we plan to further reduce our emissions.

PRODUCTS

Our paper supplier, Holmen, is in the top one percent of sustainable companies worldwide. The FT newspaper is fully recyclable and FSC certified.

Home deliveries are wrapped in compostable film made from a material based on potato starch, suitable for domestic and industrial composting. FT Group magazines are printed on paper from suppliers who focus on efficient and responsible use of resources and sustainable forestry practices.

HEADQUARTERS

Bracken House, the site of our global headquarters in London, is supplied by 100 percent renewable electricity. We are working with OakTree Power to modulate the consumption of non-essential electricity and ease congestions on the local electricity network. Gas and electricity in Bracken House is optimised to take hybrid working into account.

We also work closely with our waste management company, and anything that cannot be recycled goes for incineration in an energy from waste plant and supplies electricity to the grid.

EDITORIAL INITIATIVES

Climate change crosses every beat and every section, and we have several initiatives dedicated to covering the topic. Climate Capital is a hub that draws together the resources of our global journalist network, plus our data, video and audio teams, to cover the climate story from all angles. Moral Money is a twice-weekly email on socially responsible business, impact investing and environmental, social and governance (ESG) trends. Sustainable Views helps professionals navigate through the ever-expanding rules, frameworks and policy decisions shaping the environmental, social and governance space.

PARTNERSHIPS

The FT is a member of Business Declares, a network of more than 100 businesses that stand for urgent climate and ecological action and social justice.
