ASFP joins Climate Action for Associations

The ASFP is proud to join Climate Action for Associations. As a trade body committed to protecting lives, property, environment, and heritage, we recognise that climate change is not only a challenge for fire safety but a cross-sector issue that demands urgent collaboration. By joining CAFA, we aim to embed sustainability in our operations and support our members in building a resilient, low-carbon future.

Climate Action for Associations (CAFA) is a resource and network dedicated to net zero and sustainability for the membership sector.

CAFA provides the resources, guidance, solutions, and peer-to-peer network that membership organisations need to show leadership, take accountability, and implement action internally, and with their members.

As a not-for-profit and official accelerator for the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign, their mission is to harness the reach and influence of the membership sector to speed up business and industry transition to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

“We are proud to have joined CAFA and begin our journey towards supporting more sustainable practises, both in-house and for our members. The road towards Net Zero is a long one, but a crucial one that we believe the passive fire industry plays a vital role in. We encourage all of our members to explore the resources CAFA have to offer, and any member organisations we work alongside to join on to continue the progress they have made towards creating a more sustainable future.”

-       Nadine Saxon, Operations Director - ASFP.

CAFA also work alongside The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - who provide a globally recognised framework for companies to set and achieve ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets in line with the latest climate science. Companies submit targets for approval to the SBTi, and these “science-based” targets are essential for helping businesses meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

Below are a taster of the resources CAFA provide, in collaboration with the Science Based Targets Initiative.

• SBTi Communications toolkit
• Climate Change Communications guide
• SBTi resource library (many resources freely available)
