Gattaca, founded in 1984, are STEM recruitment specialists.

Alongside the company's approved science-based emissions reduction targets with the SBTi, Gattaca have invested in offset projects covering their last two years of emissions. Their projects respond to the global need for urgent action through high-impact climate solutions focussing on carbon reduction.

Gattaca have partnered with Furthr to launch the company's sustainability strategy internally to their team, providing employee webinars to demystify Net Zero whilst demonstrating the true output of their offsetting projects.

Portfolio Deep Dive

The Problem

In Malawi, solid biomass is used as cooking fuel, but supply does not adequately meet demand, and over harvesting of wood is leaving the country vulnerable to land degradation. The solid biomass releases GHGs into the atmosphere when burned, contributing to global warming. It also created air pollution in homes, creating health risk, especially for women and children.

The Solution

The project provides energy efficient clay stoves - called ‘Chitetezo Mbaula’ in Malawi - to villagers. By reducing the amount of fuel needed by thousands of families, it leads to important emission reduction. It also contributes to 9 out of 17 UNSDGS!

The Problem

In Pakistan, 34% of mangrove forests were lost between 1990 and 2010, leading to floods, land erosion, and significantly lower sequestration of atmospheric carbon. Mangroves wetland serve as a carbon sink, stabilize coastal regions, and have a wealth of biodiversity, including large numbers of migratory shorebirds. They are also home to thousands of people who rely on the trading of shellfish and crab for their living.

The Solution

This 60-years project is implemented over an area of 350,000 ha. It will deliver GHG removals through afforestation, reforestation and revegetation of 226,000 ha of degraded tidal wetlands.

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.
