Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Swift Building Services (Midlands) Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
Since we have not previously assessed or reported emissions, the first reporting period starting from 1 July 2024 will be used as our baseline.
| Baseline Year: 2024 |
|---|
| Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations |
| We have not conducted prior emissions assessments. Our baseline year 2024 will be our reference point for future emissions reduction measurements. We will begin tracking and reporting Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions from this point forward. |
| Baseline year emissions: |
| EMISSIONS | TOTAL (tCO₂e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | To be recorded from 2024 |
| Scope 2 | To be recorded from 2024 |
| Scope 3 (Included Sources) |
To be recorded from 2024 |
| Total Emissions | To be recorded from 2024 |
Current Emissions Reporting
| Reporting Year: 2023/24 has not been calculated as per above |
|---|
| EMISSIONS | TOTAL (tCO₂e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 2024 (starting from 1 July 2024) |
| Scope 2 | 2024 (starting from 1 July 2024) |
| Scope 3 | 2024 (starting from 1 July 2024) |
| Total Emissions | 2024 (starting from 1 July 2024) |
Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
As this is our first carbon footprint recording, we are committed to the following reduction targets: We project that our carbon emissions will decrease by 25% over the next five years, aiming for a total of 60% tCO2e by 2029.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 20240baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 0 tCO2e, a 0 %ge reduction against the 2024 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract are itemised below:
Carbon Reduction Projects Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
Since we are starting our baseline measurement in 2024, no previous carbon reduction initiatives have been recorded. Future projects will be documented and reported in subsequent years.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
We aim to implement the following measures:
- Transition to electric vehicles by 2026
- Installation of LED lighting and energy-efficient systems in all facilities
- Optimise the heating and cooling system
- Promote a paperless culture
- Promote recycling
- Avoid single use coffee cups, cutlery and plates etc..
- Promote greener commutes.
- Buy green appliances
- Use rechargeable batteries
Implementation of comprehensive recycling programs and waste reduction strategies
Declaration and Sign Off
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 Reporting Protocol corporate standard and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.
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 board of directors (or equivalent management body).
