Carbon Reduction Plan

1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

Legionella Control International is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, in line with UK government targets. Our company actively works to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all areas of operations by implementing energy-efficient practices, adopting renewable energy sources, and optimising our supply chain.

2. Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline Year: 2025

Our baseline emissions report is based on the methodology outlined in the UK Government’s GHG Reporting Guidance. The emissions data includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions.

Emissions by Scope (Baseline Year – 2025)

Emission Source	Emissions (tCO₂e)
Scope 1: Direct Emissions (e.g., company vehicles, fuel combustion)	43,680
Scope 2: Indirect Emissions (e.g., purchased electricity)	3,495
Scope 3: Indirect Value Chain Emissions (e.g., business travel, waste, supply chain)	31,546
Total Emissions	78,721

Note: Scope 3 emissions have been estimated based on available data. We continue to refine our data collection methods for improved accuracy.

3. Emissions Reduction Targets

To continue our progress toward Net Zero by 2050, we have set the following targets:

• Reduce total carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to the baseline year (2025).
• Transition to 100% renewable energy sources by 2028.
• Increase the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid fleet by 2035.
• Engage suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions by implementing sustainable procurement policies.

Projected Carbon Reduction

Year	Projected Emissions (tCO₂e)
Baseline Year (2025)	78,721
2030	50% Reduction Target
2040	75% Reduction Target
2050	Net Zero Target

4. Carbon Reduction Measures

Legionella Control International has implemented the following environmental management measures to reduce emissions:

Scope 1: Direct Emissions Reduction

• Transitioning company fleet to electric or hybrid vehicles.
• Reducing fuel consumption through optimised travel planning.
• Increasing online training to reduce business travel.
• Reducing business travel fuel consumption by shifting to virtual meetings where possible.
• Encouraging remote working.
• Encouraging energy-efficient behaviours among staff.

Scope 2: Purchased Energy Reduction

• Encouraging landlord to switch to 100% renewable electricity suppliers.
• Encouraging landlord to upgrade office and operational facilities with LED lighting and smart energy management systems.
• Encouraging landlord to reducing overall energy consumption by optimising heating and cooling systems.

Scope 3: Value Chain Emissions Reduction

• Implementing a green procurement policy to prioritise suppliers with low-carbon credentials.
• Reducing business travel emissions by shifting to virtual meetings where possible.
• Implementing a waste reduction and recycling programme.
• Encouraging remote working to reduce commuting emissions.

Carbon Offsetting & Sustainable Initiatives

• Partnering with certified carbon offset programmes to compensate for unavoidable emissions.
• Supporting reforestation projects and carbon capture initiatives.
• Engaging employees in sustainability training and awareness programmes.

5. Reporting and Monitoring

As part of our ISO 14001:2015 we will review and report on our emissions annually to track progress toward our carbon reduction targets. Our reporting includes:

• Annual carbon footprint assessments, aligned with the UK government’s environmental reporting framework.
• Third-party audits and verification where applicable.
• Progress updates to stakeholders, including customers and regulatory bodies.

The most recent reporting period is within 12 months of this Carbon Reduction Plan’s publication date.

6. Declaration and Approval

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been approved by the senior leadership team and represents our commitment to reducing carbon emissions in line with Net Zero by 2050.
