*13.61 metric tons CO2e
3.6 Market based scope 2 emissions
*2.46 metric tons CO2e
3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.
*We launched our Net Zero Action Plan in December 2022 which sets the course for change within our own organisation and supply chain.
By implementing the actions set out in our plan, we are already making progress in reducing our emissions against our 2019 baseline.
We are turning ambition into action by:
• Ensuring the company is using green electricity tariffs
• Working on a vehicle replacement strategy to fully convert to zero emissions vehicles by 2030. Our first company EV has already proved its worth by covering 8000 miles in 2023 and saving us 2 tCO2e.
• Launching a travel carbon calculator – to help staff make greener travel choices
• Bringing our company wind turbine back into operation for green energy generation
• Implementing a programme of carbon awareness and skills training for staff.
3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.
*Calculated following the GHG protocol. Good accuracy - gas and electricity consumption from actual meter readings, fossil fuels for vehicle use from mileage logs.
Value Chain Emissions (optional) *
Scope 3 emissions
4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?
*Yes
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
Dulas is in the process of developing our methodology for collecting data so that we can determine Scope 3 emissions, including developing a supplier engagement programme and revising our supplier assessment and annual review processes in order to start gathering data on their carbon reduction commitments and embedded carbon in the goods and services they supply to us. We are committed to publicly declaring our Scope 3 emissions from 2025.
4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?
*No
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.
*Calculations follow the GHG protocol.
Business Travel includes emissions from fuel consumed on company business in employee-owned vehicles - calculated using vehicle mileage logs.
Climate Solutions (optional) *
5.1 Do you classify any of your existing goods and/or services as a climate solution?
*Yes
5.2 What percentage of your total revenue comes from sales of climate solutions?
*100 %

5.4 Methodology used to assess these as climate solutions, and third party which has validated the assessment, if any:
*All our products and services result in 'avoided emissions' by enabling the delivery of renewable energy projects. Our solar direct drive refrigerators are powered by the sun, and are avoiding the use of generators or mains electricity, so are zero carbon in use. The 'avoided emissions' have not yet been quantified.
No third party validation.

We are undertaking a specific project to understand the carbon impact of the manufacturing of our vaccine cabinets and our options for reducing this impact.
Through 2023, we have been focusing on our transport emissions:
• We are working on reducing the amount we travel, and if we do need to, then re-thinking the way we do it
• We launched our own travel carbon calculator to help staff make greener travel choices
• Our first EV pool cars has covered 8000 miles and saved us 2 tCO2e
• We swapped the plane for the train when attending conferences in Europe
