Discovery's Environmental Sustainability Specialist unpacks how a centralised data platform and disciplined target-setting helped the team hit every annual emissions reduction goal since FY2019: a 31% cut in absolute emissions by FY25, with more planned.
Discovery is a proudly South African-founded financial services organisation operating across healthcare, life insurance, short-term insurance, long-term savings, banking, and wellness markets in 41 countries. Since its founding in 1992, Discovery has been guided by a clear purpose: to make people healthier and to enhance and protect their lives.
Discovery supports the Paris Agreement's goals to limit global warming to well below 2°C, pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. The team was seeking to solve two challenges: managing emissions data across a large, multi-building footprint, and planning, implementing, and monitoring a science-based emissions target.
If Discovery's journey to disciplined, data-led emissions management resonates with where you are, we'd be glad to talk it through: no agenda, just a conversation.
