We have carefully chosen projects to invest in that not only contribute to our Net Zero ambitions, but support developing countries’ economic and social evolution.
The chosen project was the Sichuan Miyaluo Hydroelectric Station – (Accredited by the United Nations). This project is strategically located in the economically disadvantaged Tibetan region of Sichuan Province, China, contributing to regional development and sustainability. Two percent of the power station’s annual income is allocated to environmental protection, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainable practices.
Placing a high priority on ecological conservation by safeguarding fish migration pathways and ensuring minimal harm to the local ecosystem, this commitment reflects a balance between harnessing energy and preserving nature, whilst actively supporting local schools by donating funds, fostering educational development within the community. This project establishes scholarships to support underprivileged students, with a specific focus on Tibetan students, breaking down barriers to education and contributing to a brighter future.
The initiative has created 14 job positions for residents, contributing to local employment opportunities and local infrastructure development, particularly in the improvement of transportation, enhancing overall community well-being.
By investing in the project, we have offset our carbon emissions for 2023-24 (197 tonnes of CO2e), which is the equivalent of 100 return flights rom Manchester, UK to New York, USA.
