Jack Drum Arts delivered community arts activities across the North East of England.

2.1 Net zero target year

2030

2.1.1 Base year

2021

2.2 Near-term target

5% of absolute total emission reduction from my base year by 2025

15 of absolute total emission reduction from my base year by 2027

30 of absolute total emission reduction from my base year by 2029

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

We feel this part of the whole process the most daunting. More support is definitely needed for small organisations to analyse patterns, plan and prepare for, and then implement change.

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

47820 kwh

3.3 Renewable energy

0 kwh

Scope 1 emissions

3.4 Scope 1 emissions

8 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

0 metric tons CO2e

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

No action was taken during this year, as this was our first year of reporting and as such we were building systems and baselines across the scopes. We did plan for the next year to: have solar panels installed at our venue, install LED lighting in our office and workshop rooms, explore the potential switch to an EV from our Diesel Fuel Company Van.

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

We use the SmartCarbon Calculator to log our data and calculate our totals. Most data recorded for this first year was primary. Our waste and staff commuting data was proxy, as we built the systems and processes to record primary data in future years.

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

Yes

4.1.1 Total scope 3 emissions

14 metric tons CO2e

Supply chain related - upstream emissions

Customer related - downstream emissions

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

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

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 established systems and then began collecting data for the following Scope 3 emissions (type of data in brackets): Staff Commuting (Proxy) Business Travel - Cars, Trains, Planes (Primary) Water Supply/Treatment (Primary) Waste - Closed Loop and Combustion (Proxy) Company Vehicle (Primary) T&D / WTT SmartCarbon Calculator generates WTT and T&D figures for all our primary and proxy data.

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

This is Jack Drum Arts' first Carbon Footprint Report. We embarked upon the journey in Autumn 2021 through Going Green Together, a programme run by VONNE in North East England for VCSOs. As such, the systems for data collection were being established midway through a reporting year. Proxy data was used in some categories, while we waited for equipment to arrive or data collection systems to roll over to a new financial year.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

Electrifying the vehicle fleet and/or cutting transport emissions,Slow societal and economic progress on climate action,Insufficient policies or government incentives,Time constraints,Lack of skills and knowledge,Insufficient funding

7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?

Yes

SmartCarbon Calculator has processed the data for us, creating a unique spreadsheet, applying the conversion factors and outputting the final Carbon Footprint Report.
