During the reporting period, Dan’s Engineering Ltd continued to implement its carbon reduction action plan. The company generates renewable electricity through on-site solar PV and has replaced its diesel-powered forklift with an electric model, reducing direct fossil fuel consumption. Vehicle fuel consumption has also reduced compared with the company’s baseline year. Energy efficiency measures include LED lighting, monitoring energy consumption and encouraging staff to reduce unnecessary energy use through good housekeeping and switching off equipment when not required. The company continues to monitor its energy and fuel consumption as part of its commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030.

Dan’s Engineering Ltd has continued to make progress against its 2022/23 carbon baseline and its commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030. During the reporting period, actions included continued use of on-site solar PV, replacement of the diesel forklift with an electric model, energy monitoring and efficiency measures, and a reduction in company vehicle diesel consumption. Vehicle diesel use reduced from 8,156 litres in the baseline year to approximately 5,790 litres in 2025/26. Scope 1 and location-based Scope 2 emissions for the reporting year were approximately 19.06 tCO2e, compared with a baseline Scope 1 and 2 footprint of 22.69 tCO2e. The company recognises that further reductions are required to meet its 2030 target. Key challenges include reliance on diesel vehicles, energy requirements associated with engineering and fabrication activities, and emissions within the wider supply chain. We will continue to monitor energy and fuel consumption, identify further opportunities to reduce fossil fuel use and improve energy efficiency, and develop our measurement of Scope 3 emissions as data availability improves.

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

Reducing scope 1+2 emissions, Reducing scope 3 emissions, Electrifying the vehicle fleet and/or cutting transport emissions, Complexities in managing supply chain emissions, Inaccurate or insufficient data

Specify other challenges*
