comment on your near-term targets

Watts Group are currently reporting 0% Scope 1 emissions due to the nature of our business. Watts are committed to finding ways to reduce our Scope 2 and 3 emissions by 50% by 2030. To ensure we remain on track, we have implemented a Carbon Accounting procedure which will seek to achieve a year-on-year reduction of 7.5%, to take us beyond the 50% target by 2030.

We have inputted the data as best possible from our information available about our business. We consider this Report as the starting point on our Net Zero journey and will look to refine reporting detail as we progress on our transition to Net Zero., and as the tools we have at our disposal offer more detailed assessment.

scope 2 actions

purchased electricity

Yes

We have this year reduced our overall office footprint and are taking a more flexible approach to working. This in turn has reduced our energy consumption requirement and emissions. As part of this transition, we have also moved our London Head Office into a more sustainable building with a much improved EPC rating, therefore expect a direct reduction in associated energy consumption moving forwards.

purchased steam

N/A

purchased heating

Our heating across our offices is principally provided by air conditioning therefore the emissions are included within the electrical energy consumption assessment. In our isolated office space which uses fossil fuel, this is Landlord equipment therefore has not been included in our assessment.

purchased cooling

Yes

As above answer for Electrical consumption.
