​Vertas Group is proud to announce that we have been awarded Gold Level Carbon Charter Certification, recognising our commitment to environmental sustainability and our significant progress in reducing carbon emissions.

The Carbon Charter, administered by the Carbon Charter Panel, is awarded to organisations that demonstrate best practice in monitoring, reducing, and reporting their carbon emissions. The Gold level is reserved for those who exemplify leadership in environmental responsibility and champion the drive towards a more sustainable future.

Following a rigorous assessment, the Panel commended Vertas Group for our impressive achievements, including:

  • A 27.2% absolute reduction in emissions since our previous submission.

  • Clear evidence of commitment, demonstrable progress, and engagement across the organisation, positioning Vertas as an exemplar in our sector.

Peter Frost, Environment Strategy Officer on behalf of the Carbon Charter Panel, commented: “An impressive submission, with clear evidence that meets all of the criteria in terms of commitment, demonstrable progress, engagement and acting as an exemplar.”

Sarah Layton, Group Head of Sustainability and Social Value at Vertas Group, said: “We are delighted to receive the Carbon Charter Gold Certification, which is a testament to the dedication of our teams and our ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental impact. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Vertas Group, and this recognition motivates us to continue driving positive change for our clients, colleagues, and communities.”

This certificate is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our colleagues across Vertas Group. We are committed to building on this success, sharing best practice, and supporting our clients and partners in their own sustainability journeys.

As a Carbon Charter Gold organisation, Vertas Group will continue to lead by example, striving for innovation and excellence in environmental stewardship.
