LEADERSHIP

Suki Tea Makers are in a position to show leadership and radically change and influence both our network and consumer behaviours.  We’re serious about our responsibilities and that’s why we hold ourselves to the high standards of independent certification and publicly state our efforts for a sustainable future.

Our first step in communicating our commitment was through taking the CLIMATE ACTION PLEDGE led by BITCNI, of which we are founding members of the Responsible Small Business Network in Northern Ireland. Businesses must play their part in ensuring a livable future and to limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5°C.

By signing the Climate Action Pledge, we have committed to:

SUKI Oscar Assam Tea Plucking

1) Measure and report on Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)

2) Build the strategy as to how we plan to reduce our GHG emissions and meet the target to reduce it as a business by 30% by 2030.

3) Commit to measure and reduce our Scope 3 emissions.

We are pleased with the progress made through the combined passion and efforts of our TEAm in reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions thus far from our 2019 baseline by 15% in 2020. This is an ongoing journey for us and signing up to the Climate Action Pledge is just one measure of our commitment. Already in 2022 our Environmental Team at Suki (comprising 50% of our staff members and Directors) have undertaken the Climate Action Programme to ensure we deliver on a net zero carbon strategy and take affirmative and long-lasting action, enshrined in everything we do as a business.  Two of our team members have successfully completed the Carbon Literacy Training and we have shared that awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions with an internal training session for our entire Suki Team.
