Carbon Reduction Plan

1. **Baseline Assessment**:

   - Conduct a thorough assessment of the company's carbon footprint, focusing on emissions from vehicle usage (Scope 1) and any indirect emissions associated with office operations and supply chain (Scope 3).

   - Calculate emissions resulting from driving activities, considering factors such as vehicle fuel efficiency, mileage, and the carbon intensity of fuel used.

 

2. **Set Targets and Objectives**:

   - Establish specific and measurable carbon reduction targets for the company, taking into account the baseline assessment.

   - We aim to reduce carbon emissions associated with driving activities, aligning ourselves with national and international climate goals.

 

3. **Vehicle Fleet Optimisation**:

   - Evaluate opportunities to optimise our vehicle fleet to reduce emissions, such as investing in electric or hybrid vehicles with lower carbon footprints.

   - Implement a vehicle maintenance program to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency, including regular servicing and tire pressure checks.

 

4. **Promote Sustainable Travel Practices**:

   - Encourage alternative modes of transportation, such as public transportation, cycling, or carpooling, for employees travelling to work or between job sites.

   - Implement a remote work policy to minimise the need for travel whenever possible, leveraging digital technologies for virtual meetings and remote surveying.

 

5. **Route Optimisation and Planning**:

   - Utilise route optimisation software or apps to plan more efficient driving routes, minimising mileage and fuel consumption.

   - Consolidate appointments and surveys in the same geographic area to reduce unnecessary travel and emissions.

 

6. **Training and Awareness**:

   - Provide training to employees on eco-driving techniques to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions while on the road.

   - Raise awareness among staff about the environmental impact of driving activities and the importance of carbon reduction efforts.

 

7. **Carbon Offsetting**:

   - Consider offsetting unavoidable emissions from driving activities by investing in certified carbon offset projects, such as renewable energy or reforestation initiatives.

   - Include carbon offsetting as part of the overall carbon reduction strategy, complementing efforts to minimise emissions through operational improvements.

 

8. **Supplier Engagement**:

   - Engage with suppliers to source environmentally-friendly products and services, such as low-emission vehicles or sustainable office supplies.

   - Consider the carbon footprint of suppliers' operations and transportation methods when making procurement decisions, adhering to PPN 06/21 guidelines.

 

9. **Monitoring and Reporting**:

   - Implement a system for monitoring and reporting on progress towards carbon reduction targets, including regular tracking of driving-related emissions.

   - Utilise the Technical Standard for Completion of Carbon Reduction Plans to ensure consistency and accuracy in carbon accounting and reporting.

 

10. **Continuous Improvement**:

    - Continuously review and refine this carbon reduction strategy based on performance data and feedback from stakeholders.

    - Seek opportunities for innovation and collaboration within the energy efficiency sector to further reduce carbon emissions and contribute to broader sustainability goals.
