Bicester: Dalcour Maclaren fully commits to net zero by 2030

The pledge comes as part of Dalcour Maclaren’s newly published Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Impact Report 2025-26, which outlines progress to date and maps out further sustainability targets.

One highlight of the report is the company’s transition to 100 per cent renewable electricity across all offices under its control.

Francesca Herratt, chief financial officer at Dalcour Maclaren, said: “ESG is embedded in how we operate and how we make decisions.

“This report sets out where we are today – not just where we aspire to be – and establishes a clear baseline against which we will track progress year-on-year.”

Additional achievements include zero Scope 1 emissions, an 18 per cent reduction in energy use intensity, and the introduction of decarbonised heating systems.

The company has also enhanced its carbon measurement processes by establishing a baseline for business travel emissions.

Social impact is another focus, with a gender-balanced workforce and 23 per cent of employees in early career or ‘Earn and Learn’ roles.

Its employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) stands at +43, placing it in the upper tier globally.

On governance, the company has implemented a formal ESG framework aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and holds five ISO certifications.

James Neil, chief executive at Dalcour Maclaren, said: “Our ESG focus is more important than ever at DM, and our aim is to be leading this in our industry, working closely with our clients so that we achieve our shared goals.”
