Our main emissions stem from purchased goods and services and business travel. We reuse and recycle as much as we can, consider carefully the sustainability credentials when making large purchases, combine reasons for business travel when travel is required (ie. project, client and new business meetings) and choose public transport where possible and take carbon offset options where available for travel. A more energy efficient space for our team is working well.

Yes

4.2.1 What actions have you taken to reduce scope 3 emissions in the reporting period?*

4.2.2 Provide any additional details*

We have focused on reducing Scope 3 emissions through travel and behavioural changes. We combine business travel where possible to reduce the number of trips and prioritise public transport over higher-emission alternatives. We support hybrid working, which reduces overall commuting. Within the office, we minimise waste by reusing and recycling materials and being mindful of consumption. As a small team, we are continuing to build awareness and make more conscious decisions around how we travel, purchase, and operate day to day.

4.3 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?*

4.3.1 What percentage of your suppliers have you asked?*

4.4 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?*

Yes

4.5 Which tools or methods did you use to calculate your scope 3 emissions?*

Small Business Carbon Calculator

4.5.1 Specify additional details*

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

This is our second year of reporting, and we have improved the quality and consistency of our data, particularly in relation to commuting, energy use, and waste. During the reporting period, we moved to a smaller and more efficient office and continued to adopt hybrid working practices, which have helped reduce our overall energy use and commuting-related emissions. We have also become more conscious as a team about travel, combining trips where possible and prioritising public transport. As a small business, our approach continues to focus on building awareness and making practical, incremental improvements. We will continue to track and refine our data to better understand our emissions and identify further opportunities to reduce them.

Reducing scope 3 emissions, Limited control over energy use in buildings, Reducing emissions from business travel, Time constraints, Inaccurate or insufficient data
