We have more influence over our customers than our supply chain (for whom we represent a small proportion of our suppliers' business), so we are helping our customers reduce their carbon footprints by saving water and energy.

Actions and plans to reduce emissions *

Scope 1 Actions

own facilities

Yes

1) Move to new HQ which has achieved a building energy rating of A and has no gas heating. 2) Track electricity and water usage using smart meters for all offices. 3) Investigate how we can improve the efficiency of our air conditioning systems with our landlords (e.g., there are refrigerants with a lower global warming potential than R407C and can we reduce fugitive emissions, i.e., escape of these gases requiring annual top-ups). 4) Hybrid working policy allows most employees to work from home 2-3 days a week. We calculate that every additional day per week that employees work from home should save 5 tonnes of CO2e from commuting, and add 4.5 tonnes of CO2e from additional heating and electricity use in the home, so a net half a tonne saving.

supply chain related (upstream)

purchased good and services

*

Yes

Purchasing refurbished laptops and ensuring old ones are reused elsewhere is likely to have the most impact on our procurement, as it is most in our control and contributes the most emissions. Switching to more sustainable facilities and influencing our landlords to adopt more sustainable practices will also have a large impact. Because a lot of our purchased services are rent. While lots of emissions are associated with our software subscriptions, many of these suppliers will be too large for us to influence, and as large businesses we know many of them are already pursuing sustainability. We engaged with our large supply chain in late 2021 who undertake meter reading, debt collection, broker sales and other professional services to encourage them to set targets in line with the race to zero and educate them about how to do this.

waste in operation

*

Yes

We will separate and monitor our waste (recycling vs general) at our new offices and identify ways to reduce this. A new sustainable procurement policy will favour suppliers using recycled/recyclable/reusable materials etc who are on the road to net zero

business travel

*

Yes

We will update our Travel and Expenses policy to favour hotels with net zero plans and encourage use of public transport and car sharing.

employee commuting

*

Yes

Salary sacrifice Electric Vehicle leasing scheme and cycle to work scheme for employees. Car sharing matching scheme for employee commuting. Install EV charging points at our new HQ. Most of the flights booked by the company are associated with one remote working Director, and their emissions are offset by the airline as standard.
