Triple Bottom Line is already Net Zero in scopes 1 and 2. Until we find a calculator that can weight our suppliers we are unlikely to see any measured reduction in scope 3 supply chain emissions. We have changed suppliers and prioritise local and sustainable but the Normative Calculator does not take this into account. As such our carbon intensity for scope 3 has remained at 0.2 tonnes of CO2e per £ spent for 3 years in a row. It has reduced from 1.8 to 1.7 tonnes per employee since 2020.

Our workplace at The Enterprise Centre, University of East Anglia, is designed on Passivhaus principles, reducing energy requirements while maximising thermal comfort and air quality. Heating and power are supplied by a renewable electricity provider.

Commuting was measured in 2020 using a different calculator (normative does not measure commuting) it was 25% of our Scope 3 emissions. We work a hybrid model so it is likely to be similar. 2 employees use and EV, 2 drive to work in ICEVs, others take bus or walk or cycle. One works 100% at home

This is a very rough estimate based on two years ago.

supply chain related (upstream)

purchased good and services

Yes

We have a sustainable purchasing policy and where there are no alternatives we lobby suppliers to improve their sustainability and net zero status.

capital goods

Yes

We have a sustainable purchasing policy and where there are no alternatives we lobby suppliers to improve their sustainability and net zero status.

fuel and energy related activities

Yes

We encourage employees to walk or cycle or take public transport - This includes a cycle to work scheme and for those who need to drive we offer a salary sacrifice scheme for an EV. We have no other fuel or energy related activities .

transportation and distribution (upstream)

N/A

waste in operation

Yes

TBLA is a Norfolk Zero Waste Champion. The Normative calculator does not ask for waste data. Most waste is collected for recycling by The Enterprise Centre, including food waste. TBLA has purchased mixed plastics waste bins for several years that collect all non-recyclable plastics including used Lateral Flow Testing Kits. This plastic is melted using onsite micro-generated energy from solar and food waste. It is repurposed into garden furniture and building boards.

business travel

Yes

We encourage virtual meetings as the default but where travel is necessary we encourage public transport - mainly train travel.

employee commuting

Yes

We encourage employees to walk or cycle or take public transport - This includes a cycle to work scheme and for those who need to drive we offer a salary sacrifice scheme for an EV.
