comment on your net zero targets

*

We are committed to achieving net zero (90% reduction in emissions) by 2040. We are not yet sure how we will get there, but what we do know is that we are taking it step by step, and that we will require support from our customers, our supply chain and government (tougher regulation, maybe some sort of carbon tax) to achieve it.

comment on your near-term targets

*

We believe we can reduce our scope 1 emissions by up to 90% by 2025 - mainly from transitioning to an electric van. Our scope 2 emissions have already been eliminated. Scope 3 will be the hardest to reduce, so we have set a target of 50% reduction by 2025, as this will require intensive collaboration with our customers and our supply chain.

Comment on your energy consumption

*

We consume electricity provided by Ecotricity, the UKs greenest energy provider, who provide us with 100% renewable energy what can be treated under a market based approach. They also provide us with green gas that is certified carbon neutral under a market based approach and so can be counted as zero carbon. We do operate a diesel company van, required to move the event items we have produced from the workshop to site. This makes up our entire scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, and so switching to an electric van (not possible previously due to limited availability and range) will go a long way to eliminating our direct and indirect emissions.

List any sources of emissions excluded:

*

Capital Goods - we have not been able to find any accurate emissions data for the forklift we purchased in 2022. End-of-life Treatment of Products - we have not yet been able to accurately measure the waste produced at the end of an event or exhibition. This is something we have put in place for 2023 and so will be able to provide a figure for next year.

describe the calculation methodology and comment on accuracy:

*

We have done our best to accurately measure as many scope 3 items as possible. A few items to note: - Materials: we have accurately measured the emissions from 67% of our material use (wood, metal and plastic), and have used that to calculate 100% of the emissions based on our overall materials spending. - Emissions factors - we have used UK government GHG conversion factors for almost all calculations. For wood, we used wood specific emissions factors provided by WoodForGood.

Actions and plans to reduce emissions *

Scope 1 Actions

own facilities

N/A

-

own vehicles

Yes

We are looking to convert to an electric vehicle before 2025 so that we can reduce our scope 1 emissions to near zero.

own processes

N/A

-

scope 2 actions

purchased electricity

Yes

We will continue to source zero carbon electricity from Ecotricity. We will also look into the possibility of installing solar panels by 2025 so we can generate and contribute greener energy to the grid.

purchased good and services

*

Yes

We are seeking to shift to lower impact materials - however this is very dependent on engagement with our clients who design the items we make.

capital goods

*

No

We have not measured this yet and have no current plan to reduce emissions.

fuel and energy related activities

*

N/A

-

transportation and distribution (upstream)

*

Yes

We would like to engage with our transport and logistics partners to encourage them to take action to reduce or eliminate emissions.

waste in operation

*

Yes

Our plan is to continue focusing on reusing items, and if they can not be reused, then recycling them.

business travel

*

Yes

Whenever possible we will travel by train rather then van within the UK. For work overseas we will also seek to use ferry or train services whenever possible.

employee commuting

*

Yes

We will encourage our employees to bike, walk or take public transport to work.

Climate Solutions (optional)

are you investing in climate and/or nature outside your value chain?

*

Yes

provide details of the project/s you invest in:

*

We are a silver level Investor in Wildlife through the Essex Wildlife Trust - this is not for emissions reductions, just local environmental protection and action. We also purchase Verified Emissions Reduction Certificates (VERs) to offset our carbon emissions in 2022 - we invested in a Climate+ Portfolio through Gold Standard.

how are they quality secured?

*

The Verified Emissions Reductions (VERs) we purchase are through Gold Standard - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IR7poBibP3GJlmjq6W8ROc7QP2H2GE5E/view

which value do they represent (in usd)?

*

£751 in VERs through Gold Standard £120 for the Essex Wildlife Trust
