Decarbonising our supply chain
We launched our Net Zero Standard in 2025, to invite and engage our top suppliers to join us on the transition to Net Zero. In 2025 we were recognised with an A rating by CDP for our Supplier Engagement Assessment.
The Net Zero Standard is a set of three key asks
As an organisation committed to decarbonising in line with a 1.5 degree trajectory, we require our suppliers - who represent a significant proportion of our global carbon footprint - to do the same.
We will be engaging our 250 top suppliers in the first half of 2025, with a plan to engage a second tranche of suppliers in the second half of the year.
Set a goal to reach Net Zero by 2050 or sooner
Calculate and report their emissions data across scopes 1-3
Set science-aligned decarbonisation targets, to serve as credible milestones to meeting their Net Zero goals
“We are delighted to launch our new Net Zero Standard, a set of three ambitions for our suppliers to support and accelerate their transition to Net Zero. At Serco we have set out plans to decarbonise in line with our Science-Based Targets, so it is imperative that we work in partnership and collaboration with our supply chain, collaborating with them, as we transition to Net Zero together.”
