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

Yes

We screen suppliers and only purchase from those with a commitment to net zero

4.2.1 What percentage of your suppliers have you asked?*

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 have used spend based calculations for purchased goods and services, capital goods and business travel. We have used assumption based on typical time in the office to calculate employee commuting

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

We have been speaking to the office manager about energy measurement and renewable tariffs. We are also considering moving to another office which has lower emissions. Employee commuting and business travel both use the lowest possible emission transport in line with our green travel policy. It will be difficult to reduce this further, especially if the team grows

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?*

Reducing scope 1 emissions, Reducing scope 2 emissions, Reducing scope 3 emissions, Limited control over energy use in buildings, Reducing emissions from business travel, Balancing emission reductions with business growth, Limited influence over suppliers, Other challenges (please specify)

Specify other challenges*

We have very little influence over the emissions we have, hopefully moving office can help with scope 1 & 2 but scope 3 will be difficult

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