Climate action plan
Approved by Moonland's founders on 27/09/2026. Next full review: 27/09/2027.
Where we stand
We support the global goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, and we are setting our own targets in line with it.
We should be straight about scale. Moonland is a nine-person digital consultancy with no factories, no fleet and no physical product. Our direct emissions are small. Almost everything we are responsible for sits in a handful of places: the electricity in our office, how we travel, the laptops we buy, and the cloud services our work runs on.
Small does not mean irrelevant. It means our plan should be about the decisions we actually control, rather than a carbon accounting exercise that flatters us.
What we are doing
SMART targets specific, measurable, time-bound.
| # | Target | By |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100% renewable electricity on our office contract | «In progress» |
| 2 | Rail as the default for any business trip under 6 hours; flights need an explicit reason | «Done» |
| 3 | Minimum four-year laptop and hardware lifecycle; refurbished considered first; certified reuse or recycling at end of life | «Done» |
| 4 | Environmental criteria included in our standard supplier and tool selection, alongside price and function | «In progress» |
| 5 | Preference for cloud regions and providers with credible renewable-energy commitments, where client requirements allow | «In progress» |
| 6 | Publish progress against these targets annually on this page | Every year |
Who does this and with what
Accountability sits with Pello Múgica Gonzalez, who reports progress at our annual governance review. Day-to-day, the office and procurement decisions sit with COO.
We have deliberately chosen targets that need decisions rather than budget, switching an energy contract, changing a travel default, adding a question to procurement. The one real cost is hardware lifecycle, which we absorb by replacing less often. Not a large investment. That is the point: at our size, the constraint is attention, not money, so a plan that needs a consultant to maintain is a plan that quietly dies.
Working with others
- Our team. Travel and equipment choices are made by the people doing the work, so the defaults are documented and discussed rather than mandated from above.
- Our freelancers. We share these standards with long-term collaborators.
- Our clients. The systems we build affect how much travel, printing and manual coordination our clients need. That is where our largest climate contribution probably sits, and it is not something we can put on our own balance sheet. We will keep raising it in project design.
- Our suppliers. Environmental criteria form part of how we select and review the tools and services we depend on.
Being honest about the limits
We have not completed a full greenhouse gas inventory. At our size it is not required, and we would rather put the effort into decisions that change outcomes than into measuring a small footprint precisely. If we grow, that calculation changes, and so will this plan.
Review
We review progress annually and fully revise this plan at least every 36 months. It is approved by our founders as the highest governing body.
