1 million tonnes of CO2 target : Together.com + partners

The Together campaign is run by an independent charity called The Climate Group.

The Climate Group will be taking responsibility for ensuring that its partners meet the Together campaign's strict criteria:

- All of Together's partners are leading businesses when it comes to dealing with climate change;

- Every Together product or service that its partners launch must genuinely reduce your impact on the climate;

- Together's partners send them their sales figures, which they then convert into CO2 amounts to see how much they’ve collectively saved.

Together’s E-Day pledge: saving 1 million tonnes of CO2

The small things really add up when we do them together. Over 12 million simple Together actions have been taken so far, saving over 250,000 tonnes of CO2. That’s like taking 100,000 cars off the road for a whole year.

Together is aiming to help all 24 million homes in the UK save a tonne - this is going to take a big collective effort but we’re prepared to do our bit.

By E-Day next year Together pledges to have saved 1 million tonnes.

Together will be bringing new partners on board and rolling out more and more solutions over the coming year to help you save a tonne and help us reach this challenging target.
