Archewell – led by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – have pledged to become Net Zero by 2030.

A statement on the Archewell website says that Prince Harry and Meghan “have a long-standing commitment to the planet, both together and prior to their union, with global projects and partnerships dating back over a decade”.

The organisation will work with an independent consultant to track all Archewell-related activities from our inception (internet use, commutes, and electricity in home offices, for example) to understand its collective footprint.  Using 2022 as the baseline year, they will develop a plan for Archewell that aligns with the latest guidance from leading organisations, like the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), while offsetting remaining emissions until Net Zero is achieved.

Archewell also plans to  “leverage the expertise of the non-profit organization Travalyst”, founded by Prince Harry, and the sustainable investing platform Ethic.
