Carbon reduction statement
Our vision is to improve lives and minimise our impact on the planet.
It is our responsibility to make sure that future communities can thrive, so we will lead by example, and demonstrate how to make choices that are both people and planet centred.
We’re committed to reducing our impact on the planet
dxw operates in an energy intensive industry. We know how important it is for us to embed sustainable ways of working. We also know how important it is to achieve this collectively, by influencing change amongst the organisations we work with.
We measure the company’s carbon footprint and offset our emissions annually. We’re committed to continuing to do this.
We have an established Earth Working Group who focus on how we need to change and reduce our impact. This group has refreshed our carbon reduction plan, ensuring it’s feasible and enables genuine carbon reduction.
We’re not just thinking about our impact as a business, but as employees, each with a responsibility to take action to reduce our individual impact.

Our dxw Earth Group
We have an internal group who meet regularly to talk about how dxw can respond to the climate and ecological crisis as an organisation and reduce the impact on our planet.
So far this group has:
- calculated our carbon emissions for 2022-2023
- calculated our carbon footprint
- helped dxw become carbon neutral
- held a series of events during Earth Week
- offered advice for staff on making ethical and sustainable choices outside of their work at dxw
