Base year: 1st April 2025 to 1st April 2026

Status

Clean Market Group Limited is a service business headquartered in the United Kingdom.

We do not manufacture and therefore do not purchase or utilise raw materials, produce emissions through manufacturing, or require a physical supply chain.

Data and application hosting:
100% renewable energy

Software application efficiency:
clean-market.co runs on a proprietary web application developed in .NET. The application is highly efficient,, as demonstrated by the website homepage producing 0.08g of CO2 per view - currently cleaner than 93% of websites tested worldwide.

Business IT equipment:
We purchase reconditioned hardware where possible, including laptops, monitors, tablets and desktop hardware. Our printers use refillable ink resevoirs rather than disposable cartridges.

Business travel:
We plan to invest in EV fleet vehicles, and are targeting the 3rd quarter of 2026 for this switchover. We use the train for business travel where practical.

Business energy (electricity):
We use a 100% renewable energy provider for our electricity at HQ and encourage staff to do likewise to minimise work from home emissions.

Business energy (heating):
We currently have to use Gas. Alternative energy sources are being explored.

Minimal water useage:
We actively promote water waste awareness

Waste and recycling:
Our operations do not produce industrial waste. Any waste that we do produce from day to working and living is recycled through local authority recycling schemes. We exhaust our IT equipment before it is processed through a licensed IT recycling partner. We have a company sewing machine which is available for staff use (for clothing repairs).

Financial partners:
We currently bank with Monzo, who are one of the cleaner banks, and e-commerce payments are handled through Stripe online payments solution

Investment:
When we require business investment for growth and improved sustainability, we will not partner with any institution that holds a fossil fuel position

Charity donations:
We have pledged to distribute 5% of revenue generated from Standard and Premium listing package sales to nominated charities

Year 1: 1st April 2026 to 1st April 2027

Our base year + year 1 results will enable our board of directors to approve science based mid and longer term real zero targets.

That's the summary so far, and when we have data to publish, we will be fully transparent, whatever our progress.
