Oxford Innovation Space Commits to Net Zero Emissions by 2050
In celebration of Earth Day, Oxford Innovation Space is proud to announce its commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, reinforcing its role in building a sustainable and resilient future.
Aligned with this year’s Earth Day theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” which calls for global action to triple renewable energy generation by 2030, Oxford Innovation Space, the UK’s largest network of innovation centres, is dedicated to contributing to this goal by:
- Procuring 100% renewable electricity by 2027
- Halving Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030
- Driving sustainable innovation through its ecosystem of entrepreneurs and researchers
Our Path to Net Zero
The newly published Net Zero Report outlines Oxford Innovation Space’s strategy to reduce emissions across its operations and value chain. Through renewable energy adoption, operational efficiencies, and collaboration with clients and suppliers, the organisation is taking meaningful steps toward decarbonisation.
Key milestones include:
- 2025: Establish a comprehensive emissions baseline and launch initial reduction strategies
- 2030: Achieve a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by embedding sustainability across centres
- 2040: Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 50%, working with partners to lower supply chain impacts
- 2050: Reach Net Zero emissions, neutralising any remaining impact with verified carbon offsets
