The climate emergency remains one of the most pressing shared challenges facing society today. At Mitie, we support customers in implementing and achieving their net zero ambitions, simultaneously reducing costs, improving efficiency and decarbonising for the good of future generations. We believe our people should understand the consequences of our environmental impact. A strong commitment to sustainability and social change underpins everything we do.
From ambition to action: Our FY25 net zero commitment
Launched in 2020, Mitie’s Plan Zero sets a bold five-year path to net zero, targeting 85% EV fleet transition by the end of FY25. We achieved 74%; the 11% shortfall was due to the rapid expansion of Mitie’s fleet, including vehicles for which electric alternatives are not yet commercially or operationally viable. With over 6,000 EVs on the road, our electric fleet is significantly larger than originally envisaged when our targets were set.
Phase one of Plan Zero has now concluded, reflecting progress made through both fleet electrification and procurement of renewable energy. Any residual emissions have been offset with carbon credits. We are establishing a new emissions baseline and Plan Zero 2.0 will guide our next phase with new science-based targets and evolving standards..
From planning to action
Environmental strategy
Mitie is a profitable, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable business, but there’s still so much to do. Our strategy sets out actions and outcomes within the Mitie to drive positive change.
Discover the steps we’re taking to drive Mitie towards a net zero future.
Our net zero aims are industry leading. From reducing waste through a circular economy, switching our fleet to electric vehicles and increasing biodiversity, Mitie’s plans are well underway.
Mitie employs over 76,000 colleagues, working with over 3,000 customers. Through the work we do, we make a positive difference to the lives of millions of people. And we take that responsibility very seriously.
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives form a key part of how Mitie does business, from managing risk to driving growth opportunities. We offer everything from energy strategy and electric fleet consultancy to decarbonisation of estates and buildings.
Our activities support us in transforming customer workspaces to be more flexible, safe, sustainable and attractive for everyone. Thanks to our Cleaning and Hygiene Centre of Excellence (CHCE), we’ve developed a unique approach to cleaning without harmful and toxic chemicals, which keeps spaces spotless.
Facilities management organisations can positively impact the environment, make a significant difference in the workplace and deliver social value to local communities and beyond. At Mitie we’re proud to be leading the way.
