Latitudes mentioned in the GCC post announcing the Active Members 2024.

Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna of Latitudes are among the 120 Members who have successfully achieved individual Active Membership 2024 with the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC). 

This marks the third consecutive year that Latitudes members have renewed their individual Active Membership. To renew our individual Active status (guidelines here), we continued implementing environmental sustainability best practices in line with GCC’s guidelines, focusing on near-term tangible actions, and met three of the following criteria:

1. Measure Impact: Submit a 12-Month Carbon Report, OR Major Project Carbon Report, OR Climate Impact Report. 

2. Take Action: Demonstrate Climate Action OR Environmental Responsibility Rider.

3. Publicly Commit: Sign and Publish an Environmental Responsibility Statement.

4. Review and Reflect: Submit a minimum 500-word narrative that elaborates on your application and your climate efforts from the past year.

Each of us completed a CO2e report. Our joint carbon emissions were 16.18 tCo2e in 2019 (our baseline year), progressively reducing to 3.66 tCo2e (2022); 1.91 tCo2e (2023) and 1.63 tCo2e (2024). Our carbon footprint reporting includes emissions across various aspects of our operations: air and surface travel (long-distance and regional trains, coach, taxi, car, metro, bus and ferry), accommodation (hotel, self-catered properties), energy consumption (electricity and gas), and, since 2024, digital usage (web hosting, cloud storage, sent emails and video calls). We use the GCC Carbon Calculator to conduct annual audits and ensure consistent and accurate reporting.
