2025: Net Positive
and 2024 Carbon Impact

2024 & 2025 Actuals — Disclosed

GPM’s direct carbon footprint is not large. We do not operate extensive facilities or industrial operations. The majority of our emissions come from business travel, digital infrastructure, and purchased goods. That is common for service-based organizations of our size and structure.

We do not treat that as a reason to set a lower bar. There are hundreds of thousands of organizations in a similar position that assume their footprint is too small to matter. Our view is that this is precisely why leadership from smaller, service-based organizations is necessary — to demonstrate that net positive impact is achievable at any scale and to set a replicable standard for others.


2024 Carbon Emissions

16.9

Total tCO₂e emitted in 2024

15.5t business travel · 1.43t purchased goods

6.0

tCO₂e sequestered via tree planting

1,000+ trees · 0.006t per tree (conservative estimate)

2024 Net Carbon Balance

Total emissions 16.9 tCO₂e
Carbon sequestered −6.0 tCO₂e
Net position +10.9 tCO₂e (35.5% offset)

GPM offset approximately 35.5% of 2024 emissions. The planted trees are not yet mature; sequestration estimates are conservative and will increase as the trees grow.

2025 Annual Result — Confirmed

Net Positive

+230 kg CO₂e removed beyond what was produced

In 2025 GPM removed more carbon from the atmosphere than it emitted. The margin is intentionally modest — 230 kg represents a genuine net positive position, not an overstated one. This result is disclosed without offsets or accounting adjustments.

GPM removed 230 kg more CO₂e than it produced in 2025. This result is disclosed without the use of purchased offsets.


Why This Matters

GPM’s emissions are small relative to large industrial organizations. That is not the point. The point is that there are hundreds of thousands of service-based businesses that have concluded their footprint is too small to warrant serious action. That conclusion is wrong — and it is one that organizations like GPM are positioned to challenge through demonstrated practice rather than advocacy.

Achieving net positive status in 2025 demonstrates that a digitally operated, globally distributed professional services organization can remove more carbon than it produces. The case for inaction among similarly structured organizations is harder to sustain when the result is on the record.

We invite our partners, stakeholders, and peers to go beyond neutrality. Net positive impact is achievable at any scale. The 2025 result is the evidence.
