Carbon Neutral

Our Green Ambition

BidX1 are innovators in the property industry, providing a more transparent, online alternative to the traditional methods of transacting real estate.

Today, we are already carbon neutral – thanks to a sustainable business model and a value system which puts climate action at the forefront of decision-making.

2019

With backing from Enterprise Ireland, who supported our carbon assessment through their 'Green Start' programme, we mapped BidX1's emissions across every market. In 2019, our carbon footprint was just 291 tonnes – and this includes indirect 'Scope 3' emissions like staff commuting, waste management and data storage.

2020

Following our carbon assessment, BidX1 staff chose to offset the small amount of carbon that we do consume through investment in a safe water project in Rwanda. This is a Gold Standard project, which aims to deliver clean, safe water for communities in the East African nation – by identifying and repairing broken boreholes.

2020

Our green agenda is driven by our Sustainability Team, whose aim is to align our business with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With members from each market where we operate, the team is responsible for BidX1's environmental policies – as well as our initiatives covering Diversity & Inclusion; Responsible Consumption; Health & Wellbeing in the Workplace; and working with our Charity Partners in each market.

2021

BidX1 submits its first disclosure to the CDP, a global non-profit that runs the world’s leading environmental disclosure platform. We are very proud to have made this commitment to environmental transparency, along with over 13,000 other companies and more than 1,000 cities, states and regions.

2022

BidX1 receives its first rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project. We were delighted to receive a B- rating for Supplier Engagement (both the European and Global average is C) and a C rating for Climate Change. Our comprehensive 2022 disclosure was the culmination of the work undertaken by the business since 2020 and demonstrates our enduring commitment to environmental transparency.
