1.2 Describe your business activities
*A & R Rothen Ltd are a small family run business, established in 1981, which specialise in the supply of workboats and associated plant and equipment for the maintenance and repair of the UK\'s inland waterways, as well as undertaking waterway based contracting works such as piling and dredging.
We currently have 6 members of staff in total - 5 during the reporting period - 4 of which are fulltime.
As a small team we have struggled to make time previously to consider our business emissions and Carbon Footprint, however we have now collectively decided that we can no longer ignore this matter, to protect the local nature and environment we have the pleasure of working in on a daily basis but also for the wider community on a national and global level.

*Here at A and R Rothen Ltd we are at the very beginning of our journey towards lowering our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and to ultimately achieving Net Zero status by 2045 - though we have much to learn and action, we are excited for our greener future and hope to encourage and foster our suppliers and customers to join us in reviewing their own emissions in more detail, if they aren\'t already doing so.
Results, Challenges and Outlook *
7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.
*This is our first year reporting upon our emissions - from here we will be drawing up an action plan with regards to reducing our emissions across Scope 1,2 and 3, as well as working hard to implement those actions. As a small team of 6 staff, time constraints is a real challenge for us, hence we haven\'t previously reported on our emissions and have committed to cautious targets for our reductions by 2030 and achieving NetZero by 2045. Our economic market is proving quite challenging at the moment also, so we are unclear as of yet as to how much investment we can make in terms of renewable energy supplies or transport towards lowering our emissions, however we are hopeful that trading conditions will improve and thus allow us to consider these factors more closely.
7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?
*Reducing scope 3 emissions,Electrifying the vehicle fleet and/or cutting transport emissions,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Time constraints,Lack of skills and knowledge,Low return on investment
7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?
*Yes
We have worked alongside our accountant to identify many of the figures used for this report.
