1. About This Policy
Ingenious Partners Ltd (“Ingenious Partners”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our business and operating in a way that supports the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy, including the UK Government’s legally binding target of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
This policy sets out our approach to identifying, managing and reducing carbon emissions across our business and supply chain. As a small business, we are not currently required by law to publish a carbon reduction plan, but we choose to set out our position voluntarily because we believe transparency and responsible procurement practice go hand in hand.

2. Our Commitment
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint year on year, and to embedding environmental responsibility into our procurement decisions and the advice we give to clients. We recognise that our greatest opportunity to reduce emissions lies not only in our own operations, but in the choices we make and influence across our supply chain.
3. Our Business and Where Our Emissions Arise
Ingenious Partners provides procurement consultancy services, helping clients with strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and cost optimisation. As a lean, largely remote-based business, our direct operational emissions are limited, arising mainly from office and technology use.
The more significant impacts sit within the supply chains we help manage on behalf of our clients, particularly in areas such as manufacturing, raw materials, and international freight and logistics. We consider it part of our responsibility to help clients make lower-carbon choices in these areas wherever it is practical to do so.
4. Reducing Our Impact
We take a proportionate, practical approach to reducing emissions, which includes:
- Favouring lower-carbon transport methods, such as sea freight over air freight, wherever order lead times and client requirements allow
- Encouraging the use of suppliers who can evidence sustainable or recycled materials and responsible manufacturing practices
- Consolidating orders and shipments to reduce the number and frequency of freight movements
- Operating a lean, largely remote-based business model to minimise office energy use and travel
- Using digital communication and video conferencing in place of business travel wherever practical
5. Our Targets
We are committed to establishing a robust emissions baseline for our business, and to setting measurable, time-bound reduction targets as that data develops. In the meantime, we commit to working towards net zero emissions across our own operations and, in the longer term, across our wider value chain, in line with the UK Government’s 2050 national target.
6. Review of This Policy
We review this policy periodically to reflect changes in our business, our supply chains, or relevant legal requirements. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
