Optimas International 2025 Sustainability Report


Our 2025 Sustainability Report provides an update on the progress we’re making towards our Net Zero and wider sustainability commitments.

For us, sustainability is more than just setting goals, it’s about maintaining openness and accountability and being transparent about how we’re delivering on our commitments.


Optimas International sustainability report

We recognise that reducing emissions is essential to reaching net zero before 2050. That’s why we’re proud that our net zero targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

The SBTi is a partnership between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the UN Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Working alongside the SBTi, we have set clear, science-based targets and remain committed to regularly reviewing our progress as we work towards achieving them.
