A global IBM partner has achieved carbon-neutral status two years ahead of its initial goal.
Meridian Group International (MGI), which operates in the UK through its Meridian IT subsidiary, claims to have offset all its greenhouse gas emissions via two carbon offsetting projects. Meridian specialises in managed services and equipment leasing and financing.
MGI CEO Jeff Murray said: “We committed to our employees to be Carbon Neutral by 2025 and I am thrilled that we have been able to accelerate our commitment and announce that we are Carbon Neutral today.”
Meridian assessed and calculated its baseline global carbon footprint via a certified third party in August 2022, before appointing a global environmental officer to lead its carbon-neutral initiatives in December.
In January 2023, it partnered with accredited carbon neutral offset programmes, including VCS and Verra, to immediately begin offsetting its footprint.
Spoors said: “We like to say that the day you start working for us you start improving the environment. And, for as long as you’re here, your impact will be felt everywhere, by everyone, every day.”
