Carbon Reduction Plans & Accounting

Carbon Footprinting & Baseline

Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions calculated to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard
All five mandatory PPN 006 Scope 3 categories covered: upstream transport, waste in operations, business travel, staff commuting and downstream transport.
DEFRA emission conversion factors applied consistently, year on year
Baseline year set and defended for procurement and audit use
Data collection from your operations: fuel, energy, travel, waste, logistics, commuting
Organisational boundary and operational-control approach defined and documented
ISO 14064-1 alignment where the bid or buyer requires it
Built to extend cleanly when Scope 3 reporting expands to all 15 categories in April 2027, so no rebuild later.
