Results, Challenges and Outlook *
7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.*
Our 2025 footprint is estimated at 51.15 tCO2e, calculated with the SME Climate Hub Small Business Carbon Calculator. All reported emissions fall within Scope 3. We have no Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions to report because we do not operate company premises or vehicles, and our team works from home. Three sources account for almost all of our footprint. Purchased goods and services make up 19.85 tCO2e (39%), of which legal, accounting and consultancy services contribute 10.19 tCO2e, insurance and pension funding 4.76 tCO2e, and software and hosting 4.62 tCO2e. Business travel accounts for 17.64 tCO2e (34%), and air travel alone produces 15.34 tCO2e, or 30% of the total. Much of our work is international, particularly in the Caribbean and other small island developing states, so flying is our largest single controllable source. Homeworking contributes 10.05 tCO2e (20%), and capital goods such as IT equipment and furniture contribute 3.60 tCO2e (7%). Our future reduction efforts will focus first on business travel by favouring remote delivery and rail where practical, combining overseas trips where necessary, and then on working with key suppliers to improve the accuracy of our supplier-related data.
7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?*
Reducing scope 3 emissions, Reducing emissions from business travel, Balancing emission reductions with business growth, Complexities in managing supply chain emissions, Time constraints, Inaccurate or insufficient data
Specify other challenges*
-
7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?*
No
