As part of its ongoing journey towards a more sustainable future, Wyboston Lakes Resort has announced its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
This major step forward in their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy reaffirms its dedication to tackling climate change and achieving Net Zero emissions across all areas of the business.
Wyboston Lakes Resort is committed to being a leader in sustainability within the hospitality and events industry, and by joining the SBTi it strengthens its ability to reduce carbon emissions in a meaningful and science-backed way. Setting science-based targets ensures that sustainability goals are in line with the global effort to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
Driving Impact Through ESG
The decision to align with the SBTi fits seamlessly with its broader ESG strategy, which has already led to impressive sustainability milestones across the business. As part of their pledge, it will:
- Set ambitious targets for carbon reduction: This includes reducing emissions across all areas, from Scope 1 (direct emissions) through to Scope 3 (value chain emissions), ensuring that the entire business contributes to the Net Zero journey.
- Embed sustainability into the business operations: Wyboston Lakes has always been forward-thinking in terms of green energy and environmental stewardship, evidenced by the Green Energy project, zero-to-landfill commitment, and initiatives like Room 2 Grow. The SBTi provides a framework to measure, monitor, and reduce the carbon footprint, while scaling up these impactful programs.
- Be transparent and accountable: As part of the SBTi commitment, the business will regularly report on progress, showing stakeholders and customers accountability to the targets set.
Louisa Watson, Marketing Director & Sustainability Lead at Wyboston Lakes Resort says “Transparency is key in our approach to sustainability, and we aim to share our successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
“We are proud of our commitment to the SBTi as the next step in our ESG journey. At Wyboston Lakes, we recognise that sustainability is not just an option, but a necessity. We’re determined to do the right thing, and setting science-based targets ensures that our Net Zero goal is both ambitious and achievable.”
