Commitment and Targets *

2.1 Net zero target year

*
2050

2.1.1 Base year

*
2020

2.2 Near-term target

*

22.5% of absolute scope 1 emission reduction from my base year by 2027

22.5 of absolute scope 2 emission reduction from my base year by 2026

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

*
Our emissions reduction targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative for global greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions and are benchmarked against our peak emissions base year of 2020. We are committed to reducing our GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions before 2050, in line with the UK Government’s Net Zero target. To support this goal, we aim to reduce our Emissions Intensity Ratio (EIR) by 5–10% annually. (EIR = Tonnes of CO₂e per £ million of total sales) We are making strong progress and anticipate achieving our 50% emissions reduction target ahead of schedule, by 2026, with full net zero emissions expected by 2044. Responsibility for achieving these targets is led by Rod Wah, Managing Director, in collaboration with the Beverston Green Team Carbon Committee

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

*
554658 kwh

3.3 Renewable energy

*
0 kwh

Scope 1 emissions

3.4 Scope 1 emissions

*
9.6 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

*
114.84 metric tons CO2e

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

*
Beverston Engineering is actively working to reduce its Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect energy-related) greenhouse gas emissions as part of its broader commitment to sustainability and net zero targets. To reduce Scope 2 emissions, the company has planned the installation of a full roof solar photovoltaic (PV) system in 2025, which will generate on-site renewable electricity and reduce reliance on grid-supplied power. In addition, to address Scope 1 emissions, Beverston is exploring the adoption of electric vehicles, starting with the potential purchase of an electric van to replace part of its internal combustion fleet. This will help lower emissions from company transport and support the transition to a low-carbon operation. These initiatives reflect our commitment to continuous improvement in energy efficiency and its goal of reducing emissions intensity year over year.

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

*
Our GHG Emissions Tracker calculates emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, incorporating data such as gas usage, vehicle fuel, electricity consumption, water usage, staff commuting, and various waste streams. Latest carbon conversion factors are used as per the UK government website. Data sources include utility bills, employee travel estimates, and commuting logs, while offsetting is addressed using tools from carbonfootprint.com. The methodology is well-documented and version-controlled, with different activities and emission sources organised into separate sheets for clarity and traceability. However, the accuracy of the data is somewhat constrained by reliance on estimates, particularly for waste generation and commuting patterns.

Value Chain Emissions (optional) *

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

*
Yes

4.1.1 Total scope 3 emissions

*
52.49 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?

*

No

-

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?

*
No

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

*
The Scope 3 emissions in our GHG Emissions Tracker are calculated by compiling data from multiple indirect sources, including staff commuting, water usage, and various waste streams such as metals, swarf, oily water, aqueous solutions, paper, recycling, and landfill waste. These emissions are quantified using the latest UK Government carbon conversion factors applicable to the corresponding year. Estimates were used where actual data was unavailable, particularly for waste and commuting, based on employee input and reasonable assumptions. Each category is represented in a dedicated sheet, and calculations are handled within a structured Excel environment. In terms of accuracy, our Scope 3 data provides a comprehensive overview of indirect emissions, but the reliability varies depending on the source. Estimated values—especially for commuting and waste—introduce uncertainty due to potential variability and lack of formal verification. Despite these limitations, the methodology is methodical and consistent, leveraging Excel and tools from carbonfootprint.com to enhance transparency and support offset analysis.

Climate Solutions (optional) *

5.1 Do you classify any of your existing goods and/or services as a climate solution?

*
No

Management, Strategy and Climate Risk (optional) *

6.1 What governance processes do you have in place for your climate strategy? Choose as many as are applicable.

*

Other (please specify)

6.1 Explain

*
A Green Team Committee meets regularly to oversee and guide the company’s carbon reduction efforts and climate strategy implementation.

6.2 Have you started to identify and assess your companies climate risks and opportunities?

*
No - we plan to in the next 1-5 years

6.3 Have you integrated climate and/or nature into your company mission statement or shareholder agreements? If yes, describe how.

*

No

-

6.4 Have you taken actions this year outside of your emissions to accelerate climate progress?

*

No

-

Results, Challenges and Outlook *

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

*
In the reporting year, Beverston experienced an increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to previous years. This variation is attributed to several factors, including updates to emission factors, improved data accuracy, and operational changes such as increased production / turnover. Emission factors used to calculate GHG emissions are periodically revised to reflect the latest scientific understanding, leading to changes in reported emissions even if actual activities remain constant. Enhancements in data collection methods, such as more precise tracking of energy consumption and waste generation, have also contributed to more accurate emissions reporting. Additionally, variations in production levels, energy usage, and transportation activities have impacted GHG emissions. To address these changes, Beverston is committed to using the most current emission factors, investing in advanced monitoring tools and employee training to enhance data quality, and implementing initiatives to optimise energy use and reduce waste, thereby lowering emissions.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

*

Limited control over energy use in buildings,Electrifying the vehicle fleet and/or cutting transport emissions,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Complexities in managing supply chain emissions,Limited influence over suppliers

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

*

No
