2045	59	80%
2050	0	100%

4. Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Energy & Office Efficiency

• Relocated to a new office space with an excellent BREEAM rating, improving energy, water, and materials efficiency.
• Replaced office lighting with LED systems and installed motion sensors.
• Implemented policies to power down IT and AV equipment outside working hours.

Cloud & IT Infrastructure

Utilising cloud platforms with strong environmental credentials:

• Digital Realty LON1 – powered by 100% renewable energy and incorporating advanced cooling and containment systems.
• AWS UK Region – Amazon is committed to Net Zero by 2040 and 100% renewable power by 2025.
• Implemented virtual meeting tools (e.g. Microsoft Teams) to reduce inter-office travel.
• Adopted a device lifecycle policy to maximise reuse and ensure responsible e-waste recycling.

Travel & Commuting

• Introduced a hybrid working policy, reducing commuting and office travel.
• Established a Cycle-to-Work Scheme.
• Reduced domestic business flights by over 80% since 2021.

Supply Chain & Procurement

• Introduced sustainability criteria in supplier onboarding.
• Encouraging vendors to report carbon data and align with Net Zero goals.
• Preference given to suppliers with published Carbon Reduction Plans.

Waste & Recycling

• Implemented segregated recycling for paper, plastics, and electronic waste.
• Partnered with certified IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) providers for secure and environmentally responsible hardware recycling.

Carbon Offsetting

• Remaining unavoidable emissions will be balanced through verified carbon offset projects (e.g. tree planting, reforestation, or equivalent recognised schemes).

5. Monitoring and Reporting

Progress toward Net Zero is monitored annually through:

• Internal sustainability metrics and reporting dashboards
• Annual review of energy, travel, and procurement data
• Third-party carbon footprint verification (planned from 2025)

6. Declaration

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance.
