Carbon Reduction Plan – Eco4 Gurus Ltd

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in compliance with WPPN 06/21 and PPN 06/21, and aligns with the UK Government’s commitment to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. Eco4 Gurus Ltd is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint while delivering high-quality retrofit coordination services.

1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

Eco4 Gurus Ltd is fully committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This commitment is embedded in our operational strategy and sustainability goals.

2. Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline Year: 2023
Baseline emissions represent the starting point for measuring progress toward emissions reduction.

– Scope 1 (Direct emissions): 0 tCO₂e
  (No company-owned vehicles or fuel combustion in 2023)
– Scope 2 (Indirect emissions from purchased electricity): 0.8 tCO₂e
  (Based on 28m² office space using non-renewable electricity)
– Scope 3 (Indirect emissions from business travel, commuting, procurement): 2.5 tCO₂e
  (Estimated from mixed transport use and IT procurement)

3. Current Emissions Reporting

Reporting Year: 2025

– Scope 1: 0.6 tCO₂e
  (Introduction of one company vehicle – 2025 MG HS PHEV, emissions estimated based on average annual mileage and hybrid fuel use)
– Scope 2: 0.8 tCO₂e
– Scope 3: 2.3 tCO₂e

4. Emissions Reduction Targets

Eco4 Gurus Ltd aims to reduce Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030, through:
– Energy efficiency improvements
– Sustainable procurement practices
– Reduced travel emissions
– Transition to renewable electricity

5. Carbon Reduction Initiatives

To date, Eco4 Gurus Ltd has implemented the following measures:
– Paperless operations: All documentation is digital; meetings are conducted remotely where possible.
– Hybrid working model: Staff work 3 days in-office and 2 days remotely to reduce commuting emissions.
– Sustainable procurement: Only energy-efficient laptops and monitors are purchased.
– Low-emission transport: No air travel is used for business purposes. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) – the 2025 MG HS Trophy – is used for essential travel.
– Energy monitoring: Electricity usage is tracked, and renewable energy options are under review.

6. Future Initiatives

Eco4 Gurus Ltd plans to implement the following by 2026:
– Switch to a 100% renewable electricity supplier
– Install EV charging infrastructure at the office
– Introduce a green supplier policy for procurement
– Launch a staff carbon literacy programme

7. Monitoring and Reporting

Emissions will be reviewed and reported annually, with progress tracked against the 2030 reduction target. Updates will be shared with stakeholders and published in our annual sustainability report.

8. Confirmation of Commitment to Reducing GHG Emissions and Achieving Net Zero

Eco4 Gurus Ltd confirms that it is actively taking steps to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over time. We are publicly committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, in line with the UK Government’s targets and the requirements of PPN 06/21.

We have developed and implemented a formal Carbon Reduction Plan, which includes:

• A baseline emissions assessment (2023)
• Annual emissions reporting
• A 25% reduction target for Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions by 2030
• Initiatives such as hybrid working, digital operations, sustainable procurement, and the use of a plug-in hybrid company vehicle

Our plan is reviewed annually, and we are committed to transparency and continuous improvement in our environmental performance.
