Sustainability at Leafr

We exist to make sustainability practical, scalable, and real, for our clients, for our consultants, and for ourselves.

‍

Leafr is a fully remote company. We don’t have an office. We don’t fly for sales meetings. Our infrastructure runs on green cloud hosting. We operate with intention, and we keep things lean.

In the last financial year (2024), we generated just 8 tonnes of CO₂e.
99.8% of that was Scope 3 — the indirect emissions tied to the software and digital tools that power our platform.
We measured this using the SME Climate Hub calculator, and we’ve formally committed to reaching net zero by 2030.

But the bigger story is the work we enable. We help businesses decarbonise by giving them access to the right expertise, fast.

Leafr connects companies with vetted independent sustainability consultants who’ve delivered real impact across climate strategy, ESG reporting, circularity, emissions reduction and more. These consultants work remotely. They’re focused. They get things done. Most importantly, they help businesses move forward without creating unnecessary operational drag.

Our operating principles

We take the same approach to sustainability that we take to everything else.

Make it useful. Make it efficient. Make it work for business.

We apply that lens across three areas:

1. Our own footprint

• Remote-first, digital-native operations
• Green cloud hosting
• Annual measurement and reporting (2024: 8 tonnes CO₂e, 99.8% Scope 3)
• Committed to net zero by 2030

2. The impact we enable

• 1,000+ vetted consultants working on high-leverage sustainability problems
• Most projects delivered remotely, reducing client-side footprint
• Real industry experience — not just slide decks or strategy templates

3. The standards we promote

• We're have a thorough vetting process that our consultants are put through and they are all formally committed to upholding the high standards we expect, in delivering value to our customers.
• We don’t list people based on who they know. We vet them based on what they’ve actually delivered.
• Every project has a clear link to measurable impact

What we align with

Our work supports five of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

• SDG 8 – Decent Work & Economic Growth
  We support flexible, fair and meaningful work for independent consultants around the world.
• SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure
  Our platform helps companies act faster on sustainability without adding headcount or bloat.
• SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption & Production
  Our consultants drive change across supply chains, materials, design, and operations.
• SDG 13 – Climate Action
  Climate is core to what we do. Every project is linked to reducing emissions or risk.
• SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals
  We connect the people who can make a difference with the businesses ready to act.

Diversity

We are committed to nurturing a diverse community of consultants. Our goal is to help companies decarbonise by connecting them with the right experts and professionals, regardless of ethnicity, gender, orientation or socio-economic background. We are proud that we are one of the most diverse communities in climate, with ~50% female, and+40% non-white members.
