Staffvetting.com limited – Carbon Reduction Plan – Baseline and Targets
- Emissions Baseline
Staffvetting.com has established our first reporting baseline emissions figure for the calendar year 2024, calculated using measured energy and operational data.
- Baseline Year: 2024
- Total Emissions: 6.822 tonnes CO₂e
- Per Capita Emissions: 0.487 tonnes CO₂e per employee (14 staff)
- Scopes Covered:
- Scope 1: Direct emissions (e.g., fuel combustion, company vehicles) – minimal/negligible
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity
- Scope 3: Includes business travel and purchased goods, where data is available
This figure represents a significantly lower carbon intensity than the UK business average and provides a strong foundation for future carbon reduction efforts.
- Carbon Reduction Targets
We have adopted a carbon reduction trajectory aligned with science-based and national net-zero targets, tailored to our already low emissions profile.
| Target Year | Emissions Target | Reduction vs 2024 Baseline |
| 2027 | ≤ 5.8 tCO₂e | 15% |
| 2030 | ≤ 3.4 tCO₂e | 50% |
| 2040 | Net-zero | ~100% (with minimal offsetting) |
Residual emissions will be addressed through verified carbon offsetting, and we aim to reach net-zero by 2040, ahead of the UK government’s 2050 target.
Although our business has grown since the 2024 reporting year, our net-zero commitment is at the forefront of everything that we do.
- Planned Emissions Reduction Initiatives
To achieve these goals, we plan to implement the following initiatives:
- Encourage or maintain remote or hybrid working to reduce commuting impacts
- Prioritize low-carbon procurement, especially with digital tools and services
- Obtain Carbon reduction plans from all of our suppliers to ensure alignment with our goals
- Reduce and monitor Scope 3 emissions, including business travel and supply chain partners
- Explore carbon removal or offsetting
- Monitoring and Reporting
- This plan will be reviewed annually, with emissions recalculated and reported internally and, where appropriate, publicly.
- We will use credible carbon accounting tools and methodologies aligned with GHG Protocol and UK government reporting frameworks.
