ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance
Vision Arch believes that growth through sustainability, social awareness and strong governance allows for a stronger future.
Our ESG considerations relate to many areas such as diversity, inclusion, honesty and integrity, at every level of our organisation.
Our ESG strategy for our business activities also includes many environmental factors, and includes who we trade with, the supplies we use and the ESG scores of organisations with whom we partner.

Our Commitments
Our carbon footprint
As part of our ESG strategy and policy, we are pleased to say we are a carbon neutral company.
What is Carbon Neutrality? Carbon Neutral - is a term used to describe the state of an entity (such as a company, service, product, or event), where the carbon emissions caused by them have been balanced out by funding an equivalent amount of carbon savings elsewhere in the world. These savings are generated through helping to fund renewable energy projects and energy efficiency projects, many of which bring additional social and community benefits in developing countries as well as reducing greenhouse gases.
As an organisation we want it to be known, that we take our corporate and social responsibilities very seriously; by ensuring we do all we can to limit our impact on the planet; for ourselves and for the future generations to come.
Using Carbon Footprint Ltd to off-set our emissions, to the highest standards and supporting local communities. After going through a company assessment to ascertain exactly what our emissions are, we have now off-set all our emissions, to achieve carbon neutrality – you can see our certification here.
