AMS recognizes that as a global company and as a service provider, our activities, including those of our supply chain, affect the environment. The majority of our carbon footprint arises from Scope 3 emissions, including Purchased Goods and Services, Homeworking, Capital Goods, and Business Travel, while our direct operational emissions (energy use and waste) are comparatively small. We aim to create a positive impact on the environment through our relationships with responsible suppliers and clients who share our views and aspirations.

We are committed to becoming Carbon Net Zero by 2050 though continually improving our environmental performance and reducing carbon emissions. We support and comply with all applicable legislation in the jurisdictions where we operate, monitor emerging requirements including the EU CSRD, integrate environmental considerations into decision-making, and advocate a precautionary approach to environmental matters. Our Carbon Reduction Plan sets out our emissions baseline and near-term targets, while our Climate Transition Plan provides the long-term pathway, actions, and governance needed to achieve our net zero ambition. Together with our climate-related financial disclosures, prepared in accordance with UK Companies Act requirements and aligned with the TCFD framework, these plans provide a clear, credible, and accountable approach to managing our climate risks, opportunities, and progress towards net zero.

We focus our activities on the six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals where we believe we can have most impact: gender equality; reduced inequalities; decent work and economic growth; good health and wellbeing; affordable and clean energy and climate action. In relation to the last two goals our objectives are to reduce our impact on the environment by:

• Complying with all applicable environmental laws and regulations
• Reducing energy use, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Supporting innovative technical solutions as well as empowering our staff to make real changes
• Minimizing our waste by reducing the amount we produce, and recycling at all opportunities while applying circular economy principles where relevant to AMS, such as extending the life of office equipment, reducing single-use materials, and responsibly managing resources
• Reducing the impact of the goods we procure and natural resources we use through our Procurement policy, working with our 3rd party suppliers to understand their own impact on the environment through our 3rd party assurance programs
• Monitoring climate-related risks, including climate-related financial risks, to ensure resilience and adaptability in our operations
• Using our influence to promote sustainability in both our supply chain and through our relationships with employees, clients and business partners
• Ensuring that all sustainability-related communications and claims are clear, fair, substantiated and not misleading, in order to avoid greenwashing and maintain stakeholder trust
• These objectives are underpinned by our targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which set measurable emissions reduction goals for our Scope 1, 2, and key Scope 3 categories. Alongside our Carbon Reduction Plan and Climate Transition Plan, they provide measurable, and accountable pathway to achieving our carbon net zero ambition by 2050. Operational objectives and targets managed through our ISO 14001:2015 certified environmental management system, which is formally reviewed annually to ensure continual improvement and enhance our AMS’ environmental performance, ensuring the status of previous objectives are considered, along with the current priorities.

At AMS, we believe that our people are the foundation of our success, not just in our business operations but also in our drive to improve environmental performance. As a result, our people are fully involved in our environmental programs. At a local level, we have dedicated environmental awareness schemes and are fully supportive of employee-led initiatives.

This policy is intended to be sustainable and integrated into our day-to-day business practices. As such, this statement is communicated to all staff members and is also available to the public.
