comment on your net zero targets

*

As an organisation, we do not currently own any assets which fit Scope 1 emissions criteria. We estimate that the majority of our emissions are currently from Scopes 2 and 3. N.B. We have set a target year of zero to mean that we do not currently have a near-term target for that Scope.

comment on your near-term targets

We have only recently (June 2023) completed an office move to a new location. We are therefore currently taking stock of the situation at the new location, identifying possible improvement measures as well as collecting data for a new baseline (to include an improved estimate of our Scope 3 emissions).

As we have only recently arrived at our new office, we will need some time to put together the new baseline information.

Climate Solutions (optional) *

What percentage of your total revenue comes from sales of climate solutions?

*

29

Provide descriptions/names of your climate solutions:

*

Renewable Gas Guarantee of Origin (RGGO) certificates via the Green Gas Certification Scheme (GGCS)

Methodology used to assess these as climate solutions:

*

RGGOs are issued to green gas producers for units of green gas injected into the gas grid which displace units of fossil gas. They can then be transferred between a variety of counterparties before being retired and allocated to gas consumers. The GGCS ensures that only one RGGO is issued for each unit injected, that they are transferred securely, and only ever allocated to one consumer. By doing so we provide certainty that green gases are not double counted. For more information, see here: https://www.greengas.org.uk/certificates

are you investing in climate and/or nature outside your value chain?

No
