James Fisher uses a number of recognised sustainability frameworks for reporting: 

Science Based Targets (SBTi):

To support our target setting exercise and emissions reduction commitments in alignment with the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2°C (preferably to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels), we have chosen the SBTi criteria as the standard for James Fisher.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol:

The GHG protocol is the guiding reference for our emissions footprint consolidation and validation exercise. This allows us to assess the emissions impact of our operations across the entire value chain and identify where to focus reduction activities. The standards have been used in the development of our scope 1, 2 and 3 identification, measurement, and reporting methodology. 
 

UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR):

We have calculated and reported our emissions footprint and energy consumption in accordance with the UK SECR regulation. 

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP):

The CDP reporting structure promotes visibility and accountability in our management of risks and opportunities around climate change, water security and deforestation. We responded to the CDP disclosure in 2020 and 2021 and are committed to reporting in 2022 and onwards.  

Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD): 

The framework provides a structured approach for effective climate-related disclosures to better inform our stakeholders on risks, opportunities, and business resilience to climate change. We are committed to reporting our climate-related risks based on the recommendations of the TCFD. 

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 

Enables the mapping of our strategy execution impact to reflect our corporate social responsibility efforts.
