Net Zero means reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level that keeps global temperature rise below 1.5°C, in line with the Paris Agreement. This involves setting science-based targets to cut emissions across three scopes:
☑️ Scope 1: Direct emissions from our operations.
☑️ Scope 2: Emissions from purchased energy.
☑️ Scope 3: Indirect emissions from our value chain.

New Society Publishers is committed to halving Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050, with Scope 3 targets to follow. Our targets are approved by Science Based Targets, guiding us toward a sustainable future.

☀️🌊 "We had a Summer Staff Party at the beach! Since we mostly work remotely these days, it’s rare for us all to be together. And, well, this time was no exception. Some local staff couldn’t join us, and others live a plane ride away. But they were with us in spirit (although they might not have felt that was enough after seeing all the fun we had in the sun...and the giant-sized connect four!). A few of us even had a dip in the always-cold waters of Drumbeg!
