Commitment to achieving net zero
Agile Solutions is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
Agile Solutions is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
Our baseline emissions inventory includes all our measurable scope 1 and 2 emissions, together with at least 75% of our total scope 3 value chain emissions.
Emissions | Total tCO2e |
Scope 1 | 7.31 |
Scope 2 - market-based | 13.44 |
Scope 3 | 152.67 4. Upstream transportation and Distribution - 0.00 5. Waste generated in operations - .91 6. Business travel - 150.09 7. Employee commuting - 1.67 9. Downstream transportation and distribution - 0.00 (Due to the nature of our services as a consultancy, we don’t create emissions related to category 4 & 9) |
Total emissions | 173.42 |
Emissions | Total tCO2e |
Scope 1 | 10.15 |
Scope 2 - market-based | 9.70 |
Scope 3 | 46.76 4. Upstream transportation and Distribution - 0.00 5. Waste generated in operations - .89 6. Business travel - 44.67 7. Employee commuting - 1.19 9. Downstream transportation and distribution - 0.00 (Due to the nature of our services as a consultancy, we don’t create emissions related to category 4 & 9) |
Total | 66.61 |
Note: Due to the nature of Agile Solutions’ business as a consultancy pre COVID-19 business travel was very high. In 2022 business travel emissions increased due to the return of travel post COVID-19, however still showed a 73% decrease compared to 2018.
Business travel will remain as a normal part of the way we work, it is important for us to visit our client’s premises to build relationships and service their needs. [we are working on a program to improve client delivery in line with our commitment to Net Zero]
To continue our progress towards achieving net zero, we have set targets from 2018 to 2025. Following this we will reset our targets in line with the science- based net-zero criteria soon to be published by the Science Based Targets initiative.
42% Decrease - Our current target period involves a 42% decrease in scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2023 on a 2018 baseline.
Figure 1- Projection for Carbon Emission cumulative reduction targets across all Agile Solutions sites, 2022 rise is due to hybrid working model initiated in January 2022 – Measurement in tCO2e
Figure 1
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2018 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 145.43 tCO2e, a 81% reduction against the 2018 baseline and the measures will be in effect moving forwards.
In the future we plan to implement further measures which will continue to drive down emissions, below are some examples of areas under review:
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.
Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard1 and uses the most relevant emissions factors sourced from government and official environmental bodies, and suppliers.
Scope 1 and scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (scope 3) Standard.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the directors:
