ATPI Group Publishes Inaugural Global Sustainability Report RoosterPR
  • Carbon neutrality milestone achieved ahead of 2026 target

  • Over two thirds (71%) of employees believe in ATPI’s genuine commitment to sustainability

  • Scope 1 & 2 emissions reduced by almost 10% per FTE

  • 56% of leadership roles fulfilled by women

  • 23% increase in sector recruitment despite wider national economic challenges

Leading travel and events management company ATPI Group, has today published its first annual Sustainability Report for 2024, detailing the Group’s global activities, performance and outcomes against key Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting metrics.

The inaugural report – encompassing the company’s sustainability indicators for the 2023 calendar year – reveals that ATPI Group achieved carbon neutrality four years ahead of its 2026 target. This milestone was attained with the support of the company’s CO2 measurement, reduction and compensation service, ATPI Halo. In cooperation with Anthesis Group ATPI has carried out data collection, analysis and reporting on their Carbon Footprint since 2021, enabling the Group to implement Co2e reduction methods and compensate all residue Co2e emissions against the company’s ATPI Halo project portfolio.

The report also highlights the Group’s investment in local communities including the recent introduction of ATPI Inspires, an employer supported volunteering programme to increase community engagement in each office location. ATPI also succeeded in increasing employee training, with 23,000 ATPI Academy courses completed in the last year and 30% of employees completing an ESG course.

Additionally, demonstrating its commitment to advancing a safe, inclusive and respectful workplace, spearheaded by its Global Talent and Culture team, ATPI’s Sustainability Report also reveals that women in leadership roles increased by 16% last year, bringing the total to 56% globally within the company.

As part of the report, ATPI also identified its gender pay gap within the company, with the aim of addressing and closing the disparity. The Group reports an average pay gap of 9.7% in favour of males, which is notably lower than the UK national average of 14.3% in 2023.

Despite industry wide recruitment challenges and nationwide economic challenges, ATPI Group also saw a 23% increase in employees whilst reducing its Scope 1 & 2 emissions by almost 10% per full-time-employee (FTE). This totals 3,905 tonnes of emitted CO2e (Scope 1,2 and 3) across the entire global business in 2023.

To help reduce its carbon footprint, whilst also opening new office locations and managing a transition back to on-site working, last year, ATPI appointed its first Sustainability Officer, Louisa Toure to embed sustainability best practices and environmental responsibility into the company’s global operations.

Louisa Toure, ATPI’s Sustainability Officer said: “ATPI’s inaugural report showcases our exceptional journey in environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, detailing key metrics aligned with our global sustainability plan. It presents new information and data that we have not previously reported on, revealing a transparent account of both our progress and areas for continuous improvement.

“I’m proud to spearhead our internal sustainability initiatives and provide actionable, responsible solutions for the wider industry. Over the coming year, we will continue to integrate sustainability into every facet of our operation, and eagerly anticipate sharing our progress.”

To gain insights in global staff engagement, ATPI conducted its first Global People Survey, which found that over two-thirds (71%) of employees believe that the Group has a genuine commitment towards sustainability. This commitment is further reflected in 30% of employees completing ESG related courses in 2023.

Ian Sinderson, Chief Executive Officer, ATPI Group, added: “Sustainability has quickly risen as a top priority in our business and there is an undeniable need for our industry to unite in addressing the ongoing climate emergency. At ATPI, we embrace this challenge, combined with the goal of making our company a great place to work in all its facets.

“Our journey is one that continues to evolve but our strategy is based on the core foundations of environment, social and governance frameworks and is driven by a passionate team. With the publication of our inaugural sustainability report, there is no doubt that sustainability is embedded within our business, and we are proud of the contributions made daily by our employees. We don’t define sustainability as a project, a department or a service. For us, it is a philosophy that is woven into every aspect of our operation and guides our journey towards becoming a more responsible business.”
