Carbon Reduction Plan
​
1. Executive Summary
Beyond: Putting Data to Work Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2030.
This carbon reduction plan (CRP) outlines strategies for the business which already operates without a physical office to reduce its carbon footprint. The plan focuses on minimising emissions associated with remote work, business travel, and other operational activities.
​​
2. Meeting the Reporting Requirements
This Carbon Reduction Plan complies with PPN 06/21 as published by the Cabinet Office in June 2021. This document will be reviewed and updated annually.
​​
3. Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
​
​
Baseline Year: 1.11.2020 - 31.10.2021
​
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
​
Nov 2020 to Oct 2021 the first measure of Baseline Emissions as Beyond: Putting Data to Work
Ltd as this has not been reported previously.
​
Baseline year emissions: Nov 2020 - Oct 2021
​
EMISSIONS TOTAL 9 tCO2e
​
Scope 1 N/A. Beyond: Putting Data to Work Ltd does not own any fleet vehicles
or have any possible emissions from office equipment as all staff
members are home, not office based.

​
2022 was forecast to be higher than 2021 to reflect limited operations such as domestic and international business travel necessary with Covid restrictions on travel.
​
Scope 3 emissions rose as overseas markets where the business conducts business become available for office visits and business development through conferences and trade events post Covid-19.

5. Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
​
Period to 2025: Carbon reduction to 20t
Period to 2030: Carbon reduction to net zero
​
​
6. Carbon Reduction Projects
The following environmental management measures and projects have been implemented prior to setting the 2021 baseline.
​
​
7. Current Carbon Reduction Measures
Whilst the Business did not measure carbon emissions prior to 1.11.20 steps were underway and continue in order to reduce the impact on
carbon emissions;
​
-
Closure of the London office in favour of an efficient and healthy home working environment included dramatic reduction in Scope 1 emissions from the removal of energy usage of an office and reduced commuting impact on Scope 3 for London based staff positively.
​
-
Upgrade from the use of Zoom to Microsoft Teams to ensure better quality of communications through a fully remote team to reduce face to face meeting needs.
​
-
Once COVID restrictions were lifted the business introduced a one day per week office system utilising shared office space to reduce wastage. No parking is available in this Central London location to ensure public transport is used.
​
We project that carbon emissions per person will decrease over the next five years to 2.25 tCO2e per employee by 2027. This is a reduction of 10%. The measures detailed below will ensure the NetZero goal by 2030.
Further measures include:
Carbon Reduction Activities
​
8. 2022/2023
-
Company-wide education on reducing carbon emissions in the workplace/home office.
-
Provide education to all staff members on the environmental impact of their commuting fuel choice to encourage switch to lower emissions. Investigation of salary sacrifice scheme to purchase electric vehicles only.

More accurate recording of the carbon footprint from employee’s homeworking to inform possible reduction strategies and offsets required.
-
Sensible use of Teams as an alternative to all in person meetings.
-
‘Right person in the room’ policy to proactively ensure that only the right individuals are present for in person meetings.
​
​
9. 2023/2024
-
Policy for employees to use public transport for business travel, when possible, to do so.
-
Office based working limited to flexible working space in London to encourage hybrid working from home.
-
Addition of carbon reduction targets to all manager’s KPIs to ensure business plans and processes are mindful of the reduction that is required.
-
Work with our clients to help their business to deliver sustainable solutions and problem solving to business processes.
-
