World Earth Day:

How the Security Institute is

prioritising Environmental

Issues

This last quarter, on April 22nd we joined the rest of the world to help celebrate
Earth Day. Earth Day is an annual event that helps spotlight environmental issues
and demonstrates support for environmental protection, 2020 marked the 50th
anniversary of the first Earth Day.

At the Security Institute, we recognise the importance of environmental
protection and are working towards operating as a carbon-neutral organisation.
We are supporting the organisation OffsetEarth, invest in projects that remove
more greenhouse gasses than your own carbon footprint puts in.

We have been supporting OffsetEarth and their work for over 5 months now,
and in that time this has directly helped plant 545 Trees. This has contributed to
several global environmental initiatives including but not limited to landfill gas
extraction and forest management and protection in the Amazon Rainforest.

In total, this has offset over 29 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This is equal to 72,371
miles driven or approximately 22 long haul flights. According to scientific
research, this will have saved approximately 88 square metres of sea ice.

We are proud to be supporting the work of Offset Earth, if you’d like to track our
