Introduction *

1.1 Reporting year

*

2024

1.1.1 Reporting period

*

from 8.2023 to 7.2024

1.2 Describe your business activities

*
Professional Services - Consulting Civil, Structural & Geo-environmental Engineers

1.4 Number of employees in the reporting year

*
103

1.4.1 Full-time equivalent (FTE) or headcounts

*
Headcounts

1.5 Let us know if your company is a parent company or subsidiary

*
Not applicable

Commitment and Targets *

2.1 Net zero target year

*
2050

2.1.1 Base year

*
2024

2.2 Near-term target

*

32% of absolute total emission reduction from my base year by 2030

50 of absolute scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2030

20 of absolute scope 3 emission reduction from my base year by 2030

2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.

*
Our plans include commitment to swicth to green energy in our offices by 2030. Transition all of our company cars to electric by the end of 2028, reduce office paper and waste by 10% eyar on year. Implement energy saving measures in each office to save 10% emissions year on year. Promote schemes to reduce the impact of commuting to work.

Own Emissions *

3.1 To reduce emissions in line with my commitment, my company has a plan and is taking action

*
Yes

Energy consumption

3.2 Total energy consumption

*
171697 kwh

3.3 Renewable energy

*
0 kwh

Scope 1 emissions

3.4 Scope 1 emissions

*
12.6 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

*
37.2 metric tons CO2e

3.6 Market based scope 2 emissions

*
0 metric tons CO2e

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

*
Our actions taken to reduce our Scope 1 & 2 targets have been to educate our staff through a business sustainability presentation. This was then follwed up with the appointment of sustainability champions for each office whose remit it is to help reinforce our companies commitment to net zero by 2050 and to help generate incentives to reduce energy consumption across our offices. We have committed to convert our company cars to electric (non hydrocarbon/non hybrid) by end of 2028.

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

*
Our calculations for our scope 1 & 2 emissions are based upon primary data captured directly from business accounting and audit processes. Business travel is calculated based upon journey mileage and individual company car emissions data. Electrical energy consumption is calculated from electricity meter readings provided through billing. These calculations are therefore considered realistic, accountable and auditable.

Value Chain Emissions (optional) *

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

*
Yes

4.1.1 Total scope 3 emissions

*
197 metric tons CO2e

Supply chain related - upstream emissions

Customer related - downstream emissions

4.1.17 Do you have a plan and are taking action to reduce emissions from your value chain?

*

Yes

Our plan is to tighten up on our supply chain assessments and apply increased pressure to provide scope 3 data for us to use in our calculations.

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

*
Yes

4.2.1 What percentage of your suppliers have you asked?

*
5 of spend

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

*
Yes

4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions.

*
With regard to our scope 3 emissions, the base data provided in our calculations is taken from our accounts and business data collection processes and is therefore robust. The determination of GHG factors suitable for these calculations has been based generally on figures defined either by the GHG emissions spreadsheets, specific product data sheets (in the case of IT hardware) or using generic data setts when considering items such as furntiure and paper usage. Whilst we ask our suppliers (through our approved supplier process) to provide us with scope 3 emissions data, we have seen zero uptake thus far and therefore have had to utilise generalised emissions factors based upon spend based data to assess scope 3 emissions. For some suppliers of non-physical products such as insurance and software, our baseline costs are significant (to us) and the application of a generic factor creates a disproportionately high emissions value that is not considered commensurate with the products provided. Indeed, the value of our purchase with such global companies would be such that their scope 3 emissions as a proportion of our spend would be negligible, therefore we have not included these within our calculations. The single biggest contributor within our scope 3 calculations is our employee commuter travel and this data is collected from employee surveys taken at the end of the accounting period. We therefore consider this data to be representative.

Climate Solutions (optional) *

5.1 Do you classify any of your existing goods and/or services as a climate solution?

*
No

Management, Strategy and Climate Risk (optional) *

6.1 What governance processes do you have in place for your climate strategy? Choose as many as are applicable.

*

Governance process in place,Person is responsible for climate strategy at board level

6.1.1 Please describe their position and responsibility.

*
Our Managing Director is responsible for the delivery of our sustainability strategy and for the management of our emissions calculations.

6.1.2 Is this person (or another at executive and board level) also responsible for climate risk?

*
Yes

6.2 Have you started to identify and assess your companies climate risks and opportunities?

*
No - we plan to in the next 1-5 years

6.3 Have you integrated climate and/or nature into your company mission statement or shareholder agreements? If yes, describe how.

*

No

-

6.4 Have you taken actions this year outside of your emissions to accelerate climate progress?

*

No

-

Results, Challenges and Outlook *

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

*
As this has been our first year of reporting, there is limited addtional information or context to be provided. future reports will provide a detailed comparison and explanation.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

*

Reducing scope 1 emissions,Reducing scope 2 emissions,Limited control over energy use in buildings,Reducing emissions from business travel,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Complexities in managing supply chain emissions

7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?

*

No
