As a company, we are committed to minimising our climate impact, focusing on reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from our operations and supply chain.  

 

In February 2022, we signed a commitment letter to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) - a cornerstone of corporate climate action, committing to set GHG reduction targets. 

 

During the fiscal year 2024, we submitted our proposed near-term, long-term and overall net zero targets to the SBTi. Our targets have undergone the SBTi’s validation process and were approved by the SBTi in July 2024. 

 

Further information on our actions and reporting of progress made against our SBTi targets will be included annually from 2025 onwards.

Our near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets, and overall science-based net-zero target, further our commitment to accelerate our environmental journey and to contribute to achieving global greenhouse gas emission reduction.

Endava PLC approved science-based emission reduction targets

Overall net zero target

Endava PLC commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2050.

Long-term target

Endava PLC also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions 97% per full time employee (FTE) within the same timeframe.

Long-term target

Endava PLC commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by FY2050 from a FY2023 base year.

Near-term target

Endava PLC commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year.

Near-term target

Endava PLC also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy related activities and business travel 52% per full time employee (FTE) within the same timeframe.

Near-term target

Endava PLC further commits that 64% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services and capital goods will have science-based targets by FY2028.

About the Science Based Targets initiative

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organisation that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis.  

 

They develop standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set GHG emissions reduction targets in line with what is needed to keep global warming below catastrophic levels and reach net-zero by 2050 at latest.

The challenge

The race is on to limit global warming to 1.5°C and prevent the worst effects of climate change.  

 

Through the 2015 Paris Agreement, world governments committed to limiting global temperature rise to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that global warming must not exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change. To achieve this, GHG emissions must halve by 2030 – and drop to net zero by 2050.  

 

Business has a vital role to play in driving down greenhouse gas emissions and building the resilient, zero-emissions economy we urgently need. This action must be grounded in science. We need a race to the top, led by pioneering companies. This will empower peers, suppliers and customers to follow suit and drive governments to take bolder action. 

 

By the end of 2023 over 4,000 companies and financial institutions were leading the transition to a net-zero economy by setting emissions reduction targets and having them validated by the SBTi.
