Hymans Robertson's footprint was about 5,200 tCO2e in 2025/26, mostly from its supply chain, and its core emissions fell 13% in the year after two years of rises. Its electricity contracts are 100% renewable and it uses no gas. Its targets, a 55% cut by 2030/31 and net zero by 2046, are self-set rather than SBTi-validated, its figures are not independently assured, and it calls itself carbon neutral on the strength of offsets, including for its emissions back to 1921.
