SPC Sustainability Actions

Cut carbon footprint by a third

SPC says that over the past six years it improved its social and environmental performance and cut its carbon footprint by one third. It also says it became more accountable in how it runs its business and raised awareness of social and environmental issues among regional partners. The company presents this as part of a wider effort to manage its impacts more carefully across operations and partnerships.

Published a social responsibility policy

SPC says it developed a Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) Policy with its climate and sustainability team and its human rights and social development team. The policy sets out guiding principles for handling social and environmental risks and benefits in a more structured way. It also says the approach is people-centred, meaning it tries to consider human rights, gender equality, social inclusion, youth, and disability issues in its work.

Tracks emissions each year

Under its operations pillar, SPC says it carries out an annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, which is a yearly count of emissions that helps a company monitor its climate impact. It says this is used to track all emissions more accurately and to spot trends over time. The company also says it uses the results to guide actions on energy, travel, water, waste, events, and procurement.

Added project risk checks

SPC says it has set up an environmental and social management system for its programmes and projects. This system checks environmental and social risks before projects are approved, and it calls for deeper review if major risks are found. It also includes monitoring during delivery, stakeholder engagement, and grievance channels for people who may be affected.
