Our ESG Statement
A summary of our environmental policy
We’re always striving to do business the right way. Building a supportive workplace full of happy people, while making a positive impact on the communities and planet around us. It’s at the core of all we do. That’s why we measure our success against our social and environmental performance. And we love working with people who feel the same way.
Building a responsible business is a core value of Little Motel. This means understanding the impact on our people, the communities we operate in, and the global environment. We believe our business success shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet or our team. So, we’ve partnered with leading organisations to help us make sure we’re doing things the right way. They hold us to account, helping us understand and monitor how we operate.
As a business we are committed to monitoring our Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint by the end of 2025, with a retrospective benchmark year of 2024. We then aim to be measuring our Scope 3 emissions by the end of 2027 with the ultimate target of being net-zero by 2033.
We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainability to our clients, suppliers and peers. To help guide us, we maintain a Good Business Charter accreditation. We have green hosting for our website with Krystal Hosting and our electricity is 100% renewable via Octopus Energy.
The company also provides opportunities for management to attend conferences, training and workshops to further learn about best industry practices.
Members of our team have undertaken Carbon Literacy training and have been certified as Carbon Literate Citizens. This underlines our commitment to relevant climate change learning that leads to positivity and action towards reducing carbon emissions. Our production team have also undertaken Albert Sustainable Production training, providing the knowledge and skills to create productions in a more sustainable way.
Through online video conferencing and digital delivery, the team can work effectively with clients and stakeholders remotely. Where the team needs to travel for projects, we prioritise lower-carbon transport options such as cycling, public transport or car-shares.
We bank responsibly with a leading ethical bank. They believe good business and ethics go hand in hand. As a financial institution, they reflect our personal ethics and business goals and are committed to pursuing ecological sustainability and combating climate change, as well as gender equality and inclusivity.
As members of SAIL – Sustainable Arts In Leeds, we collaborate with the wider creative community to combat the climate emergency. We have also taken the Clean Creatives pledge that shows our commitment to refusing any future contracts with fossil fuel companies, trade associations, or front groups.
We also demonstrate our commitment to prompt payment by being a signatory to the Prompt Payment Code. This means we’re committed to paying suppliers or partners promptly and within the agreed payment terms.
