News: Lesniak Swann first B2B agency to achieve PAS 2060 carbon neutral certification

Specialist B2B marketing agency Lesniak Swann is among the first agencies in the country – and the first in its sector - to be awarded certification to PAS 2060, the only internationally recognised standard for carbon neutrality.

Working with clients such as Michelin, Polypipe and Finning Caterpillar, the accreditation complements the award-winning work produced by the agency, meaning clients can be confident they are working with a partner who is taking the challenge of climate change seriously.

PAS 2060 requires the agency to measure contributions to its carbon footprint and pledge reductions - not just offsetting. Some of the actions Lesniak Swann has taken to achieve this include:

• Using local suppliers.
• Work from Home scheme.
• Green tariff on energy bills.
• Car shares.
• Recycling.

Founder of Lesniak Swann, Alex Swann comments:

“Climate change is the most critical and consequential issue facing our planet. The UK government has committed to reaching net zero by 2050, and we all have a part to play in getting there. By taking the right and responsible actions now, we will lessen the effects.

“The main benefit to our clients is offering a competitive edge with a greener service that few agencies are accredited with; in the B2B space we believe we’re the first to have achieved PAS 2060.

“As one of the top B2B marketing agencies it is important for us to demonstrate our commitment to being carbon neutral so that our clients don’t need to make the choice between performance and the environment.

“Many businesses are now starting to opt for partners who act sustainably and future-orientated - this means they are assured of that when working with us.”
