Projects

We have our market-based carbon footprint independently calculated and assessed by an external body – Carbon Footprint Ltd – and choose to offset it on an annual basis. 

In 2025, our carbon footprint was 16.5 percent lower year-on-year at 641 tonnes of CO₂e, 69% of which was from air travel. 

We chose to offset our carbon footprint through four projects in Türkiye, Bangladesh, and Indonesia that also fulfil several of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals: 

  • Bursa-Hamitler Landfill Gas Collection and Energy Utilisation Project, Türkiye (385 tCO₂e): This Gold Standard project captures methane generated from the decomposition of municipal solid waste at the Hamitler landfill in Bursa Province and uses it to generate renewable electricity. Prior to the project, landfill gas was released directly into the atmosphere. The project now collects and combusts this potent greenhouse gas, significantly reducing emissions while supplying clean electricity to the Turkish national grid and displacing fossil fuel-based power generation. Additional benefits include improved local air quality, reduced fire and explosion risks associated with landfill sites, and the creation of local employment opportunities. This project supports SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). 
  • Reducing Gas Leakages within the Jalalabad Gas Distribution Network, Bangladesh (85 tCO₂e): This Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) project reduces fugitive methane emissions from the natural gas transmission and distribution network in the Jalalabad region of Bangladesh. By introducing an advanced Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programme, the project identifies and repairs thousands of leaks that would otherwise release methane into the atmosphere. Alongside reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the project improves local air quality, conserves valuable resources, enhances safety, and provides skilled employment and technical training for local workers. This project supports SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). 
  • Reducing Gas Leakages within the Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Network, Bangladesh (44 tCO₂e): This Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) project focuses on reducing methane emissions from the Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Limited network in south-eastern Bangladesh. Using advanced leak detection technologies and modern repair methods, the project prevents the release of methane, a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than carbon dioxide, whilst conserving natural gas resources that would otherwise be wasted. The initiative also builds local technical capacity through training programmes and improves the safety and reliability of gas infrastructure. This project supports SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). 
  • Katingan Peatland Restoration and Conservation Project, Indonesia (128 tCO₂e): Located in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, this Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) REDD project protects and restores 149,800 hectares of tropical peatland forest, one of the largest remaining intact peat swamp forests in the world. The project prevents deforestation, peat drainage and fires, thereby avoiding significant greenhouse gas emissions while conserving critical habitats and biodiversity. It also works closely with local communities to develop sustainable livelihoods, reduce poverty and strengthen resilience to environmental and economic challenges. This project supports SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on Land). 

In choosing these projects, TT’s Environment Working Group prioritised initiatives that combine measurable climate impact through methane abatement and biodiversity protection. 

In addition to offsetting our carbon footprint, we contributed to tree planting efforts in the United Kingdom in Peterborough, which is one of the most biodiversity depleted areas in England.
