Corporate responsibility
What Terravek does beyond its commercial obligations, and where we are behind.
Terravek's corporate responsibility programme covers four areas: environmental impact, the communities around our offices, the ethics of what we build, and the people who work here. This page is the summary; the detail and the numbers are in the sustainability report.
Environment
The Green 2030 pledge commits us to net zero across scopes 1 and 2 by 2030, a 55% reduction in scope 3 emissions intensity against a 2019 baseline, and 100% renewable electricity across all offices and colocation facilities. Renewable electricity is contracted for every site. Scope 3 — dominated by business travel — is materially behind, and we say so plainly rather than restating the target.
Community
We stopped running a company volunteering day in 2022 after asking the organisations we visited what they actually wanted, and replaced it with two days of paid volunteering leave a year and matched giving up to €1,000 per person. Why we changed it. The Delft office hosts the Zuidwal food bank's cold storage at no cost.
Ethics of what we build
Earth observation is dual-use by nature. Terravek sells for civil applications only; every acquisition request is screened, and the review is chaired jointly by the General Counsel and the Chief Scientific Officer. We have declined contracts on this basis. The policy · Research ethics review.
People
We publish gender pay gap figures for every country we operate in, regardless of local reporting thresholds and including the years the numbers move the wrong way. The 2024 figures, including the one that got worse. The returner programme won the 2021 Women in Geospatial Employer Award.
Salary ranges are published on every job advertisement in the currency and gross terms of the country. Graduate programme pay is identical across all tracks.
Reporting
Corporate responsibility reporting is consolidated into the annual sustainability report, sponsored by the Supervisory Board's ESG Committee and independently assured from FY2025.
