Introduction *

1.1 Reporting year

*

2021

1.1.1 Reporting period

*

from 8.2021 to 7.2022

1.2 Describe your business activities

*
Imported Paccari chocolate products from Ecuador to the United Kingdom.

1.4 Number of employees in the reporting year

*
1

1.4.1 Full-time equivalent (FTE) or headcounts

*
Full-time equivalent

1.5 Let us know if your company is a parent company or subsidiary

*
Not applicable

Commitment and Targets *

2.1 Net zero target year

*
2040

2.1.1 Base year

*
2020

2.2 Near-term target

*

50% of intensity scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2030

2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.

*
We strive to reduce emission and compensate for the amount that cannot be reduced to the extent possible. In scope 1 and 2, we purchase 100% renewable energy; in scope 3 which contribute to more than 90% of total emission, we compensate for it by supporting certified carbon offset projects on Ecologi.

Own Emissions *

3.1 To reduce emissions in line with my commitment, my company has a plan and is taking action

*
Yes

Energy consumption

3.2 Total energy consumption

*
2450 kwh

3.3 Renewable energy

*
2450 kwh

Scope 1 emissions

3.4 Scope 1 emissions

*
0.0 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

*
0.402 metric tons CO2e

3.6 Market based scope 2 emissions

*
0 metric tons CO2e

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

*
We purchase 100% renewable energy for the home office and we outsourced the storage and distribution of products. We use on energy efficient bulbs and we take care to disconnect electrical appliances, and turn energy off when not on the working area. A list of other actions are available like not boil more water than necessary, open blinds and curtains to maximise the use of natural light among other actions to reduce the consumption of electricity. During this year the home use for office was changed and this has a far worst energy rating, because the little insulation. This ment that heating consumption increased a lot, as it was also an extremely cold winter. Actions for improving the insulation were taken and we expect to reduce the heating consumption in the future. More improvements will be made improve insulation in all fronts of the house. A new boiler will be needed as the one is over 20 years old and a more efficient boiler is needed.

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

*
We used Normative carbon calculator to calculate the energy consumption estimation with the energy consumption provided by the energy bills.

Value Chain Emissions (optional) *

4.1.6 Waste in operations

*
0 metric tons CO2e

4.1.7 Business travel

*
0.0 metric tons CO2e

4.1.15 Franchises

*
0.0 metric tons CO2e

4.1.16 Investments

*
0.0 metric tons CO2e

4.1.17 Do you have a plan and are taking action to reduce emissions from your value chain?

*

Yes

We supported certified carbon offset and tree planting projects on Ecologi, with the estimation of 89.56 tonnnes of CO2 avoided and 8,870 trees planted in this financial year.

4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?

*
No

4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?

*
Yes

4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions.

*
We calculated the downstream distribution and transportation with distance of delivery estimated to the degree possible with UK GHG conversion factors data, and we leveraged the Normative tool to calculate the other emission categories.

Results, Challenges and Outlook *

7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.

*
Due to the increase of orders from customers in this financial year, there was an increase in scope 3 transportation and distribution. We increased spending on carbon offset projects with the result of avoiding more than 50 tonnes of CO2 and planting 5,000 more trees than the previous year.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

*

Reducing scope 2 emissions,Reducing scope 3 emissions,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Complexities in managing supply chain emissions,Slow societal and economic progress on climate action,Insufficient policies or government incentives,Insufficient funding,Low return on investment,Limited influence over suppliers
