Why is Talaria Capital committed to being a carbon neutral business?
We recognise that Climate Change is an existential threat to humanity and there is a strong will across the entire organisation to act. Becoming a carbon neutral business is an important step in the journey of energy transition. We are especially excited to see the proceeds from the carbon offsets we have purchased, going to support green tech development and other carbon capture and biodiversity initiatives.
What sustainability initiatives and targets have you implemented/are you working on right now?
We are still in the early stages of our broader sustainability roadmap. With Trace’s help we are becoming more aware of our carbon footprint especially our water usage and waste generation. We are in the process of setting out targets that will drive an absolute reduction per $ of revenue of our CO2 emissions, water usage and waste.
What is your team’s and customer’s reaction to Talaria Capital’s approach to sustainability?
Overwhelmingly positive - our team has been very supportive of the commitment. Understanding how carbon credits work and how they act to support decarbonisation efforts has been educational to some of the team, while others were more advanced with their understanding. Our clients have acknowledged our efforts and we are looking forward to building out our broader sustainability roadmap.
