Sustainability Statement

Low Carbon is a privately-owned UK investment company committed to making a positive, significant and lasting impact on the causes of climate change. Through the development and operation of renewable energy power production at scale, we aim to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the negative effects of climate change.

Low Carbon strives to make economic, environmental and social considerations integral to our decision-making processes. We are committed to being a responsible and sustainable business that values our people, acts as a responsible steward of our environment for future generations and creates long lasting economic value.

This document sets out the broad sustainability statement that applies to all Low Carbon operations. The aims are all complementary and should not be viewed in silo or exclusively to others.
