Our Planet
Our Planet
The health of our planet affects us all. Addressing environmental challenges requires well-planned measures of substance, rather than a quick fix. Our emphasis is placed on sustainable, long-term change that builds momentum and establishes a culture of environmental responsibility.
In FY25, we strengthened Data#3’s climate reporting and compliance readiness through a comprehensive Gross greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment aligned with the global GHG Protocol. Supported by Pangolin Associates, we expanded our reporting boundaries to establish a more accurate emissions inventory baseline.
