comment on your net zero targets

*

We hope to bring this forward as our reduction strategies become more developed. Our intention is to set our baseline year as next year so that we can have more confidence in the picture of our Scope 3 emissions. Additionally, we have had almost 50% growth in headcount this year and we think this will now stabilise.

Our overall near-term target is 50% by 2030, which we hope to bring forward as we develop a clearer year-by-year reduction strategy and start to understand how quickly this can be achieved alongside any business growth.

List any sources of emissions excluded:

*

Upstream Transportation and Distribution: Emissions from the delivery of goods to the business have been excluded due to prohibitive data collection costs. It is expected that emissions from these sources would be ≤10% of scope 3 emissions.

describe the calculation methodology and comment on accuracy:

*

Torchbox has followed the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, used the GHG Protocol Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard. Unlike some other digital agencies we have included our client website hosting emissions as part of our Scope 3.

Actions and plans to reduce emissions *
