Carbon reduction plan
We have set out our environmental management measures in our Carbon Reduction Plan which is measurable each year and includes:
- Confirming our commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2030 for our UK operations.
- Details of our carbon footprint/current emissions for the sources included in Scope 1 and 2 of the GHG Protocol and a defined subset of Scope 3 emissions.
- Providing emissions reporting of the CO2e (Carbon Dioxide Equivalent) for the greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol (predominantly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide).
- Setting out the environmental management measures we have adopted including specific carbon reduction measures.
- Publication of our Carbon Reduction Plan on our website.
As part of our carbon reduction plan, we have also committed to plant a tree per placement under every new framework we are awarded to between 2022 and 2025. To find out more about our carbon reduction plan, click here.
