Ebury, a global fintech firm, marked its first Values Day by reporting significant ESG progress. The company now runs 99% of its cloud workloads in low-carbon regions and has moved 47% of its office floor area into green-certified buildings. It also completed a fourth carbon inventory that includes Scope 3 emissions like employee commuting. These steps show how financial services companies can reduce their digital and physical carbon footprints without relying on offsets. On the social side, Ebury employees logged 942 volunteering hours across 34 offices, supporting 44 NGOs. The firm also partnered with Lignaverda to plant 1,500 trees in Senegal through a climate challenge. Internally, over 639 staff joined employee-led networks, and a sustainability course hit 99% completion. The article is worth reading because it provides specific, measurable ESG metrics rather than vague promises, which is rare in fintech sustainability reporting.
