The BidX1 platform facilitates end-to-end digital property transactions, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional methods of transacting real estate. Our aim is to integrate sustainability into every aspect of our business, from day-to-day operations to strategic decision-making.

The GreenStart process has helped us to take important steps towards that goal – ensuring that environmental principles are embedded in our business model as we expand existing operations and enter new markets.

  • Tadhg Dolly, Chief Operations Officer, BidX1
GreenStart Project Objectives
  • Plan and scope a GHG Emissions and Carbon Strategy
  • Build a data collection framework and provide templates for collection and reporting
  • Calculation and validation report on GHG emissions
  • Guidance on the offsetting approach to achieve Carbon Neutrality
  • Workshop on development of a BidX1 Corporate Sustainability Roadmap
Key Challenges
  • Gathering data for report due to change in business in recent years (e.g. UK has changed office 5 times in last 2 years, difficulty in collecting accurate data from old sites).
  • Rapid growth of the business and expansion to countries outside of Ireland create a challenge in establishing an emissions trend.
  • Future emission reductions challenging as emissions primarily lie in Scope 3, which lie outside of BidX1’s direct control.
Results/Outcomes
  • Emissions calculated and emission hotspots identified
  • Carbon Strategy established and guidance on further development
