The UK Government is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, with a potential stretch target of 2040. Current regulatory measures are primarily focused on larger businesses that meet specific criteria, such as financial thresholds, employee numbers, and stock market presence, which require mandatory energy-saving initiatives and climate-related financial reporting or disclosures.

No matter where you are on your sustainability journey, we are here to support your business. From energy audits and complex climate scenario planning to the implementation of carbon action plans, we focus on delivering solutions that align with your goals and maximize potential ROI opportunities.

Benefits of introducing a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) to reach Net Zero

Staying ahead of evolving climate-related regulations helps businesses achieve compliance with frameworks such as SECR, UK CFD or PPN 06/21 when applicable. Proactively addressing these challenges, ensures adherence to legal requirements and mitigates climate-related risks, supporting long-term resilience. 

Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability strengthens brand reputation, builds customer loyalty and gives organisations a competitive edge over less sustainable competitors. 

Implementing decarbonisation strategies improves operational efficiency by reducing energy waste, optimising resources and adopting cleaner technologies – leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact. 

Our CRP
Process

Assess your baseline carbon emissions

Calculating your current carbon footprint, including Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy), and relevant Scope 3 (emissions from the supply chain and other indirect sources).  

Set targets

Define clear short, medium and long-term goals for emissions reduction, ensuring alignment with the latest scientific targets to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. 

Implement actionable carbon reduction measures

Develop and execute a tailored plan that includes practical steps like transitioning to renewable energy, adopting energy-efficient technologies, promoting circular economy practices and engaging suppliers to ensure alignment with sustainability goals. Regularly monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed.
