Net-zero plan finalized: 15 to zero

The past 12 months marked a pivotal moment as we finalized our “15 to zero” plan, aligning with the SBTi’s (Science-Based Targets initiative) corporate net-zero standard. By focusing on 15 initiatives targeting five key emissions sources— energy, travel, sourcing, freight and waste—we are advancing toward a 50% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2030 and a 90% reduction by 2040.

These initiatives are anchored in measurable metrics and robust governance, ensuring progress is both transparent and impactful. We acknowledge our total emissions – and particularly our scope 3 emissions – rose from FY23 to FY24. This was due to an increase in the purchase of higher carbon products that were manufactured in countries with a higher carbon energy supply. However, we remain steadfast in our commitment to reversing this trend and achieving our net-zero goals.

Conscious Creative: setting the benchmark for responsible design

HH Global’s Conscious Creative program continues to redefine sustainable marketing, delivering innovation from ideation to production. Enhanced tools like carbon calculation and design scorecards have elevated its influence, impacting numerous projects across HH Global. Conscious Creative’s recognition as a finalist at the World Sustainability Awards in the Eco-design category further cements its status as an industry leader in responsible design.

Advancing the Sustainable Procurement Framework

The Sustainable Procurement Framework (SPF) remains a cornerstone of our ESG strategy, enabling our strategic supplier partners to enhance their environmental, social and governance credentials. To date, we have onboarded over 1,400 partners across 55 countries, accounting for $1.5B (73%) of our supplier spend.

By leveraging technology and collaboration, SPF amplifies our impact by up to 10 times per supplier across our supply chain – making it a key driver for clients seeking a more sustainable future.

Empowering women-owned businesses with WEConnect

Diversity and inclusion remain central to our supplier strategy. Through our partnership with WEConnect International, we’ve engaged with women-owned businesses globally, introducing them to the benefits of certification. Our efforts have included outreach to supplier partners in LATAM, as well as the EMEA and APAC regions. This year, we attended and participated in our first WEConnect conference in India, reinforcing our dedication to supporting women entrepreneurs.

A message from our CEO

“Our FY24 report reflects both the scale and sustainability commitments and challenges inherent in achieving them. While we celebrate successes such as the finalization of our net-zero plan and the growing influence of Conscious Creative, we remain transparent about areas where improvement is needed.”
“Sustainability is a journey, one that demands bold commitments, rigorous action and accountability. As we look ahead to 2025, we are inspired by the momentum we’ve built and the shared dedication of our teams, clients and partners to creating a more sustainable world.”
