Carbon reduction plan

We are committed to net zero scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions by 2050
We have developed a detailed plan for reducing carbon emissions, aligning with the protocols set by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and ISO Net Zero Guidelines (IWA 42:2022). This document is our roadmap to reach net zero, outlining the strategic measures and initiatives we will implement to reach this goal.

Our emissions baseline

Reporting Year: 2024 CO2e tonnes
Scope 1 0 The business does not burn heating fuels on-site or run any business-owned internal combustion vehicles
Scope 2 0.57 ‘Energy’ emissions from electricity used in our buildings and to charge electric fleet vehicles.
Scope 3 344 ‘Indirect’ emissions that occur across the value chain and outside of our direct control.
Total 345 Carbon equivalent in tonnes

This is the first year of reporting carbon emissions. In future years, we’ll show how we’ve reduced carbon from these baseline figures.

Of our 344 tonnes of associated Scope 3 emissions, the following subset are detailed:

Reporting year: 2024 CO2e tonnes
Category 4 Upstream transport & distribution 1.65 Emissions associated with getting materials/products to site.
Category 5 Waste 0.02 Waste generated by the business
Category 6 Business travel 33.29 Personal travel by air, rail, car
Category 7 Employee commuting 3.71 Employee commuting emissions
Category 9 Downstream transport & distribution 0 There are no emissions associated with shipping products to clients

Our decarbonisation plan

We’re on track to achieve a carbon reduction of 15% in the next five years by tackling direct sources of carbon emissions from transport, heating and electricity. Our decarbonisation plan will reduce carbon from 345 tonnes to 292 tonnes by 2029.

Initiatives to reduce carbon

Cutting carbon isn’t just about investing in new technology; it’s also about changing behaviours and habits. We plan to engage our entire workforce in carbon reduction through the following initiatives:

Engage with our suppliers

We’ll engage with our suppliers to seek to lower the carbon from the transportation for procured products and materials.

Switch to renewable sources

The business does not procure electricity (or off-site heating) directly and hence our Scope 2 emissions are zero. We ask the building owners to switch to renewable sources where possible.

Explore energy saving measures

The carbon emissions associated with home working have been included. To help reduce emissions we will work with our team to explore energy saving measures in the workplace and the home.

Report our carbon emissions

As part of our carbon reduction journey we will be improving the way we measure and report our carbon emissions. We will review our procurement processes in order to better select lower carbon services. review our main procured services and look to reduce the carbon associated with them. Our serviced office has an EPC rating of C. We will work with our serviced office provider to explore mutually beneficial ways of reducing energy use in the building.

Reduce business travel

We aim to reduce business travel by air, and help our staff make lower-carbon long-distance travel.

Reduce material waste

We will look to reduce material waste wherever possible.

Declaration

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 006 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans. Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard1 and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting2. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard3.

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
