Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Redmoor Health is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Carbon Reduction Plan
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.
Baseline Year: 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
We have not previously assessed our emissions in detail. Therefore, the year of 2023 is our baseline period. The period is based on the calendar year.
During this period our staff worked a mixture of office based and remote.
Scope 1 is based on company owned vehicles.
Scope 2 is based on energy consumption at our office space, plus the average energy consumption of laptops based on the number of home-workers.
Due to the nature of our business Scope 3 is the most difficult to measure and is therefore based on business travel. We do not distribute or dispose of products, our purchase of goods from suppliers is minimal.
Baseline year emissions: 2023
EMISSIONS: TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1: 3.69
Scope 2: 6.72
Scope 3: 8.53
Total Emissions: 18.94
Current Emissions Reporting
Reporting year: 2024
EMISSIONS: TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1: To be calculated by end of January 2025.
Scope 2: To be calculated by end of January 2025.
Scope 3: To be calculated by end of January 2025.
Total Emissions: To be calculated by end of January 2025
Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 15.15 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 20%.
We have not set specific targets yet other than our commitment to achieving net zero by 2050.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2023 baseline.
Our Company Sustainability Policy was updated in January 2024 and is reviewed annually.
Our policy covers – carbon footprint, waste, recycling and re-use, transport and sustainable procurement. The policy applies to employees directly employed by Redmoor Health, those employed via agencies, contractors in terms of employment and volunteers.
We are committed to the principles of sustained improvement of the environmental impact of our business activities and seek to achieve the following environmental objectives.
Regarding the use of motor vehicles in connection with the business – to reduce the environmental impact of car use, Redmoor Health:
- Encourages use of public transport, where practical, together with car sharing
- Ensures employees are aware of the fuel consumption and emissions of vehicles
- Encourages all staff to have their vehicles properly serviced and maintained to achieve optimum operating efficiency.
Where practicable we will:
- Reduce the need to travel, restricting to necessity trips only
- Promote the use of travel alternatives such as email, video/phone conferencing where it is appropriate to do so
- Make additional efforts to accommodate the needs of those using public transport or bicycles
To minimise the adverse environmental impact associated with the activities conducted in our office, Redmoor Health will:
- Minimise the use of paper in the office
- Where possible, prioritise reuse over recycling or disposal (i.e. office furniture)
- Seek to buy recycled and recyclable paper products and other consumables
- Recycle all paper where possible
- If possible, evaluate the environmental impact of any new products we intend to purchase
- Encourage the electronic transfer of data, information, and messages in order to reduce paper and toner usage
