Our Mission
Bidpath Sustainability Hub
As a leading digital auction technology provider, it is our mission is to support the growth of the auction industry and a circular future by empowering clients with solutions to help grow their businesses at the expense of a traditional linear economy. We will continue to innovate and develop best in class white label auction software for any and all types of auctioneer as we strive towards a net zero target for 2030. Be it heavy machinery or fine art, we aim to make the auction management process that much simpler, future-facing and accessible, so auctioneers can do more of what they love doing, on a platform that works best for them and their environmental footprint.
Our Pledges
Our Four Areas of Focus
Our Pledge to Our Planet
Our strategy is to drive the circular economy with minimum impact from our operations:
- We are measuring and minimising scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions with a target to offset 100% of these emissions by the end of 2023. We have already moved most of our company vehicles to electric, with the last one transitioning in March 2023 and our entire workforce is home based, reducing the need for commuting and an extensive office footprint.
- We are extending this to our scope 3 emissions with a target to be net zero by the end of 2025. We have audited all our scope 3 emissions to allow us to identify priority areas for reduction in 2023.
- By design our organisation produces virtually no waste. Our target in 2023 is to be zero waste to landfill with 100% recycling of all office materials and to be free from single use plastic in all forms. We already ensure all e-waste is recycled and re-purposed.
- We engage all our staff in a program to encourage them to analyse and reduce their personal environmental footprints, including those from their home working environment.
Our Pledge to Our People
Our people are our greatest asset and to support this:
- We provide high quality jobs with leading benefits packages. We invest in significant training and development for all employees, to develop professional, personal and technical skills.
- We ensure all our employees have clarity in terms of their roles and objectives and that they receive regular feedback.
- We have invested in a wellness program to help all our employees develop skills and techniques to enhance their physical and mental health.
- We measure employee satisfaction and employee diversity to help us to develop a highly satisfied and diverse workforce.
Our Pledge to Our Community
It is important to us that we are an externally facing organisation helping to drive the circular economy and also playing a broader role in society. To achieve this:
- We will engage in activities to promote the circular economy and the role of the auction industry within the circular economy.
- We will provide our software and expertise to help support and raise money in charity auctions.
- We will encourage and allow our employees to engage in charity and community activities as part of their paid employment. We will also raise money and donate to charities that we select each year.
- We will engage with our suppliers and business partners to drive sustainability throughout our supply chain.
Our Pledge to Our Governance
We have set up the company in a way to put sustainability and circular economy principles at the heart of what we do:
- The Senior Leadership Team are personally responsible for driving our sustainability program and we have a Director accountable for the delivery of the program.
- Every employee has a role to play and this is described in their Role Profile and set out in their Annual Objectives. All employees are appraised against these.
- We have an employee sustainability engagement program that focusses on both how the company can improve and also what individual employees can do to improve their sustainability footprint.
- We have set the very highest ethical standards for the company and all employees and we demand the same from our suppliers and business partners.
Our Strategy
Three frameworks, one plan
Our business model already delivers significant sustainability benefits by driving the circular economy and our environmental footprint is by design already low. We have assessed our impacts using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, B-Corporation Business Impact Assessment and the GreenCode scheme, and have developed our strategy and plans based on these three frameworks.
By driving the circular economy, we will help conserve resources and enable clients to provide consumers with more accessible alternatives to newly manufactured items. In our operations, we will continually drive down our own environmental footprint, commit to net zero CO2 emissions by 2030 and operate as a zero waste to landfill and zero single use plastics company from 2023.
