Environmental, Social & Governance
Welcome to our ESG Strategy; here’s how we’re working to nurture a sustainable future.
Commitment From The Board
Preserving the planet for future generations is a responsibility we take to heart at Liquid Friday.
Our ESG strategy focuses on reducing our carbon footprint, conserving resources and embracing sustainable practices across our operations.
By 2040 we are committed to achieving net zero emissions.
What is Environmental,
Social & Governance (ESG)?
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), refers to a set of criteria used to evaluate a company’s performance and impact: environmental responsibility, social practices and corporate governance.
Basically, ESG looks beyond financial performance and takes into account a business’s broader contributions to the environment, society and its own stakeholders.
What we have to say on ESG!
Colin Gunnell

“Doing what we can to preserve the planet for future generations is in our collective interest. Our ESG strategy is more than just a set of initiatives, it’s a comprehensive roadmap that guides our business decisions and shapes the Liquid Friday legacy”.
Joe Taffurelli
COO
“Building a sustainable future is in all of our hands. At Liquid Friday, ESG is not just another acronym, it’s our pledge to lead with purpose through our commitment to environmental responsibility, social empowerment and ethical governance”.

Emissions Reduction Performance
We have previously set science based targets from 2018 to 2030. We have prepared our targets in line with best practice from the SBTi Corporate Net zero standard. However, we have not validated our targets against SBTi standards.
We have committed to reaching Net Zero ahead of 2050 and have prepared a target to reach Net Zero by 2040.
Carbon Reduction Projects
At Liquid Friday we have many plans in place on how we can make the change. We have set these plans as projects in which we hope to complete by 2038. These projects can be seen in our Strategy Guide and are also highlighted below in our “Completed & Planned Initiatives” table
