Commitment to the Environment
At Sergio Dias Consulting we believe that climate change is an existential threat that requires immediate, dramatic action by every individual, organization, and government. All three must be united in working towards keeping earth's climate change at below 1.5C, which means reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and by 90% by 2050.
We walk our talk... We only take on projects that can have a significant, positive effect in moving society towards those goals and work hard to make sure we exceed them. Over the past five years, we have reduced our emissions by 57% and have a commitment to become emissions free by 2028 and zero net-energy by 2030. Our past year's carbon emissions were 10,800 pounds of CO2e, a 57% reduction from our baseline year of 2017.
