ba. Goals

We aren’t in the business of empty promises and platitudes about sustainability. Our roadmap to 2030 helps us to effectively track our impact and keeps us accountable. Check out our goal timeline below.

Timeline

“Knowing that our European sites run on 100% renewable electricity and that we use RECs for the rest makes me proud to be part of a team that takes climate action seriously. I love seeing BA make real progress on sustainability. Cutting our Scope 1 and 2 emissions in half by 2030 isn’t just a corporate goal, it’s a commitment to doing better for the planet.”

Hunter Benkowski Senior Sustainability Manager

Earth Day

This annual demonstration of environmental support is important to our planet, and it’s especially important to us here at Brand Addition.

2024

Over 120 Brand Addition employees showed up for Earth Day 2024 to carry out a combined 300+ hours of volunteering, cleaning up plastic pollution from local waterways.

We partnered with Take3ForTheSea, a non-profit which cleans up plastic pollution on Australia’s coasts. We donated 1% of our profits from the 22nd - 26th April 2024 to Take3ForTheSea, funding the cleanup of a staggering 221,000 pieces of plastic.

2025

This year we’re partnering with SolarAid, an international development charity carrying out vital work to provide clean and safe electricity to the most rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa to tackle both poverty & the climate crisis.

From the 21st – 25th April 2025, we’ll donate 1% of our profits to SolarAid, with a commitment to contribute up to £10,000 total. This donation will help light up homes, schools and clinics in the places they’re needed most.

Our Brand Addition team will also participate in a global litter picking initiative, cleaning up our local communities all around the world.
