Biggest win: 69% emissions cut (early)
The challenge
In 2021, Scott Logic committed to aligning with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5℃ goal, aiming to cut emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2040. They also set a carbon neutrality target for 2028 to accelerate action.
What we did
Scott Logic partnered with Earthly to bring their sustainability ambitions to life, supporting high-quality projects in climate-affected regions and UK-based initiatives, including pioneering Voluntary Biodiversity Credits through the Iford Estate project.
The results
By 2024, Scott Logic had reduced emissions by 69%, well ahead of their 2030 target, and achieved carbon neutrality earlier than planned. These steps have safeguarded nature in the UK and beyond, cementing their role as a climate leader.

Why Scott Logic chose Earthly
Scott Logic chose to work with Earthly for our rigorous project verification, which measures not just climate impact but also benefits to biodiversity and local communities. This aligned closely with their belief that environmental action should be guided by broader social values and long-term ambitions.
They wanted a partner who could help build an impactful portfolio, incorporating high-quality, verified carbon offsets in regions most affected by climate change, alongside forward-looking UK-based projects that support local nature. Earthly’s approach gave them confidence that their investments would deliver measurable impact and help them demonstrate climate leadership to peers, industry and clients.
