“In 2020 we set out to become environmental sustainability leaders in our industry, and McGrady Clarke has helped us follow through with that commitment. We were able to benefit from prior years’ knowledge of our supply chain and McGrady Clarke’s level of analysis and attention to detail was crucial in helping us provide a robust first disclosure in all 11 categories.”
– Andy Land, Global Head of Sustainability at Focusrite
Going beyond UK Climate-related Financial Disclosure with Focusrite
The Focusrite Group’s story began in 1985 when George Martin, the legendary Beatles producer, commissioned their founder to create a ground-breaking analogue recording console. They are now a global group of audio technology brands on a mission to “enrich lives through music” with environmental sustainability written into their DNA. Focusrite’s responsible business vision is ambitious, and their partnership with McGrady Clarke has ensured a seamless transition towards sustainability maturity.
Delivering strategic disclosure: UK CFD and TCFD
Focusrite chose to voluntarily align with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, after meeting the threshold for the UK’s Climate-related Financial Disclosures (UK CFD) legislation. This choice demonstrated their commitment to sustainability as TCFD requires more extensive evaluations and disclosures.
Future-proof strategies: mitigate risks and leverage opportunities
Our strategy enabled Focusrite to surpass UK CFD compliance requirements, offering valuable insights into climate-related risks and opportunities, and mitigation strategies for potential financial and operational impacts. This establishes Focusrite as a leader in operational sustainability, showcasing their commitment to transparency and environmental responsibility.
