Costello Medical is an independent, global healthcare agency specialising in medical communications.
It is committed to building a more sustainable world and a better planet for future generations.

Costello Medical has partnered with Furthr as part of its broader ESG strategy to reduce emissions and develop a clear pathway to Net Zero. Through this partnership, Costello is investing in high-quality carbon offsets to reduce its environmental impact at work, home and in their communities.

In addition, the team is provided with access to Furthr's monthly subscriptions via their benefit platform - empowering employees to plant trees, offset their own carbon footprint and reduce their individual impact on the planet.

First measurement

Costello has its first comprehensive dataset measuring of its carbon
footprint across all three emission scopes, verified to meet the stringent
ISO 14064-1 standards.

2024

Collaboration with Zeroute

To support their 2050 targets, Costello launches a collaboration
with Zeroute, a powerful transition planning software, to map its most
effective route to Net Zero.

2025

Baseline assessment complete

Using 2023 as their baseline year, the team committed to a near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) 42% reduction of scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 2030, creating the foundations for making a Net Zero target.

2025

Quality offsetting

Costello partners with Furthr to offset its emissions for 2024.

Projects Supported

The Problem

Before the project began, households in Kayonza, Bugesera, and Nyamasheke districts in Rwanda primarily relied on traditional three stone fires and inefficient charcoal stoves for cooking. These methods required large amounts of firewood, contributing to deforestation and environmental degradation. The inefficient combustion of biomass also resulted in high GHG emissions. Cooking on open fires produces heavy indoor smoke, leading to respiratory and eye health problems, particularly for women and children. In addition, collecting firewood is time-consuming and physically demanding, limiting opportunities for education and income-generating activities.

The Solution

The project distributes fuel-efficient “Canarumwe” single-pot cookstoves to households in the targeted districts. Carbon credits are generated through the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during cooking. These stoves significantly reduce the amount of firewood or charcoal needed for cooking, lowering pressure on local forests and leading to measurable reductions in GHG emissions. Improved combustion also reduces smoke emissions, leading to better indoor air quality and improved household health. By decreasing fuel needs, households also spend less time collecting firewood, freeing time for productive and social activities.

The Problem

From 2002 to 2023, Panama lost 19% of its total tree cover. This includes large areas of primary forests, cut down to make way for agriculture and mono-cropping. These changes to the landscape limit the country’s carbon sequestration capacity, threaten biodiversity and leave parts of Panama at much higher risk of erosion, soil degradation, and contamination from agricultural runoff.

The Solution

ForestFinance are reforesting land previously used for cattle ranching with a mixture of native species, species used for sustainable timber production and organic agriculture. This combination promotes biodiversity in the area, improves carbon sequestration, and supports economic growth in the region.

The Problem

Over 21 million people in Uganda are without access to clean water. Communities often rely on unsafe wells, lakes and other open water sources that are highly susceptible to contamination. Community groups own many existing boreholes across Uganda that have fallen into disrepair because maintenance programmes have been poorly managed or have proven too expensive.

The Solution

The Lango Safe Water project aims to resolve this issue by restoring existing boreholes and providing training for their continued maintenance. In addition to improved access to clean water, this will serve to reduce the emissions associated with boiling water to sanitise it. The initiative also addresses gender inequality and has become the first ever Gold Standard Gender Responsive certification project.
