| Scope | Emission Source | Description | Emissions (tCO₂e) |
| 1 | Petrol Vehicles (Fleet) | 2 vehicles × 15,000 miles × 0.251 kg CO₂e/mile | 7.53 |
| 1 | Hybrid Vehicles (Fleet) | 2 vehicles × 15,000 miles × 0.156 kg CO₂e/mile | 4.68 |
| 2 | Electricity (Office) | 25,000 kWh/year × 0.239 kg CO₂e/kWh | 5.98 |
| 3 | Staff Commuting | 12 staff × 10,000 miles × 0.251 kg CO₂e/mile | 30.12 |
| 3 | Paper Use | 10,000 sheets/year × 0.00584 kg CO₂e/sheet | 0.06 |

Additional Scope 3 Considerations: – Occasional management and staff travel to training venues and meetings – Office waste (primarily paper and consumables) recycled via local authority services – Minor delivery logistics for office supplies
We will enhance our emissions tracking processes to ensure full alignment with GHG Protocol categories and improve the robustness of future reports.

| 2030 | 25.00 | 48.3% |
| 2040 | 10.00 | 79.3% |
| 2050 | 0.00 | 100% |
These targets represent our commitment to tangible emissions reductions through sustainable transformation at every level of our organisation.
Short-Term (2024–2026): – Transition all client and administrative documentation to cloudbased digital platforms to reduce reliance on paper and printing – Replace one petrol vehicle with a fully electric alternative and explore leasing EVs for flexibility –

Medium-Term (2026–2035): – Transition the entire vehicle fleet to electric or ultra-lowemission models – Retrofit office lighting to energy-saving LED systems and install motion sensors to minimise electricity use – Partner with suppliers who provide environmentally certified products and prioritise low-carbon logistics – Offset unavoidable emissions through certified carbon credits and tree planting initiatives
Long-Term (2035–2050): – Eliminate all paper usage, adopting fully electronic workflows and records management – Launch and support travel alternatives such as a bike-to-work scheme, electric vehicle salary sacrifice, and electric scooter support for staff – Commission annual thirdparty audits of our carbon footprint and publicly disclose results to build trust and accountability
To ensure success and continual progress, we will: – Measure and report emissions annually using updated government conversion factors and activity data – Maintain a live carbon dashboard for internal review and planning – Integrate sustainability KPIs into performance reviews and supplier selection criteria – Formally update this Carbon Reduction Plan every three years or following significant operational or policy changes
