If installing air conditioning in the future, prioritise installing an air source heat pump for both heating and cooling capabilities, allowing the entire building to switch away from gas by 2030. Work with landlord to procure a 100% renewable electricity tariff for office spaces by 2024-2025, reducing market-based emissions from office spaces to 0 tCO2e. - Implement behaviour change initiatives within the workplace to reduce energy use, especially in meeting and studio rooms. - Implement energy efficiency measures to reduce overall electricity consumption, including: - Installing more sensor lighting where appropriate - Installing timers on socket banks to automatically turn off appliances during non-working hours - Reviewing and renewing inefficient equipment - Considering energy efficiency when purchasing new equipment Created an Environmental Committee to lead initiatives across different departments. - Committed to measuring carbon footprint of business activities year-on-year to understand pinch points and regularly make efficient and direct improvements. These plans aim to significantly reduce Rocking Horse Pictures\' direct emissions and emissions from purchased electricity, with a strong focus on renewable energy procurement and energy efficiency measures.

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

*
Calculation Methodology: 1. We used the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard to calculate their emissions. 2. We followed the operational control approach for setting organisational boundaries. 3. Emissions were calculated using the UK Government\'s Conversion Factors for Company Reporting. 4. The baseline year for calculations was set as the calendar year 2023 (1st Jan 2023 to 31st December 2023). Data Accuracy and Tools: 1. The company used primary data sources where possible, including: - Utility bills - Fuel card reports - Expense claims 2. We employed Positive Planet to process the data and calculate emission figures. 3. For Scope 1 emissions: - Natural gas consumption was based on actual meter readings. - Company vehicle fuel use was calculated from fuel card data and expense claims. 4. For Scope 2 emissions: - Electricity consumption was based on actual meter readings. Comments on Data Accuracy: 1. The use of primary data sources like utility bills and fuel card reports generally provides a high level of accuracy. 2. The adoption of a standardised tool helps ensure consistency in calculations and reduces the risk of human error. 3. Using the latest UK Government Conversion Factors enhances the reliability of the emissions calculations.

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.

*
Calculation Methodology: 1. The GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard was used as the framework for calculations. 2. Emissions were calculated using the 2022 UK Government\'s Conversion Factors for Company Reporting. 3. The operational control approach was used for setting organisational boundaries. 4. The baseline year was set as the calendar year 2023 (1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023). Data Sources and Accuracy: 1. Primary data sources were used where possible, including: - Financial Accounts data - Supplier emissions data where available 2. Where primary data was unavailable, estimations and proxy data were used. This likely introduces some level of uncertainty into the calculations. Tools Used: 1. Positive Planet processed the data to generate emission figures for Scope 3 emissions. Comments on Data Accuracy: 1. The use of a standardised tools used by Positive Planet helps ensure consistency in calculations and reduces the risk of human error. 2. The adoption of the latest UK Government Conversion Factors enhances the reliability of the emissions calculations. 3. The reliance on estimations and proxy data for some Scope 3 categories likely reduces the overall accuracy compared to Scope 1 and 2 emissions. 4. There are ongoing efforts to improve data collection and accuracy for Scope 3 emissions.
