Carbon Neutral Climate Action
We’re very proud that at CadDo, not only have our business activities been Carbon Neutral since our foundation, but each year we also offset the carbon emissions of our entire team. In 2024 we offset 10 tonnes (roughly twice the UK emissions per capita) per person.
This doesn’t just reduce our impact on climate change but sets a gold standard for how all business should operate.
We offset our emissions through a range of programmes, delivered by Carbon Footprint and certified by Verified Carbon Standard and Gold Standard.

UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
As well as being Carbon Neutral, we also subscribe to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and invest in initiatives to support these. In 2024 we have invested in programmes that are certified to address 10 of these goals.
2024 Projects include:
Reforestation of degraded land in India through implementing reforestation activities, specifically targeting small and economically disadvantaged farmers and tribal landowners who do not have the capability of plantation without any external financial support and technical guidance.
Distribution of improved cook stoves in India to facilitate clean cooking practices and reduce health risk due to indoor air pollution along with household drudgery amongst the tribal households (Schedule Tribe) and families living below the poverty level in villages of Maharashtra.
Zambia Western province safe water project to rehabilitate and maintain vital safe water sources (like borehole handpumps), train the communities on best WASH practices, and build the capacity of local communities to manage and maintain the water sources into the future.
Off-grid Solar PV project at IAMGOLD Essakane SA Gold Mine to build a solar plant to supply clean energy to the Essakane gold mine, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting CO2 emissions. The project also supports local communities through job creation, community development, and the promotion of solar technology in the region.
Wind power project by Chaiyaphum Wind Farm Co. Ltd. aiming to generate clean electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Thailand. The project also creates employment opportunities for the local community and provides reliable green energy, contributing to social and environmental sustainability.
