Carbon Reduction Plan
Supplier name
Doc Abode Ltd
Publication date
January 2026
Commitment to achieving net zero
Doc Abode Ltd is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2035.
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: 2026
Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations:
Baseline emissions have not yet been recorded for a full year but are being assessed over the year of 2026 and will be reported in full early 2026/27.
Scope 1 emissions are reported as 0, as Doc Abode Ltd has no direct control over fuel use, heating, or other combustion sources within the licensed office environment. These are the responsibility of the landlord and therefore outside the organisation’s operational boundary.
Scope 2 emissions have been calculated using UK Government conversion factors for homeworking electricity attributable to business use by Doc Abode staff.
Scope 3 emissions include:
Business travel (train/taxi journeys for client work and conferences) calculated using passenger km × DEFRA conversion factors.
Purchased goods and services (e.g. IT equipment, cloud-based systems), estimated on a spend-based approach aligned with GHG Protocol.
Waste disposal from IT equipment replacement, based on average emissions factors for electronic waste.
This baseline has been prepared using the government’s GHG Conversion Factors (2024 dataset) and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
Baseline year emissions:
Emissions Total (tCO2e)
Scope 1 0
Scope 2 16.22
Scope 3 (included sources) 4.7
Total emissions 20.92
Current emissions reporting
This is Doc Abode Ltd first reporting year. Annual updates will be provided in line with PPN 06/21 guidance.
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 3.5 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of over 80%.
This reduction will be achieved through:
• Maintaining our remote-first model and limiting Scope 2 emissions.
• Further reducing business travel and prioritising low-carbon transport.
• Increasing use of suppliers with demonstrable net zero commitments.
• Introducing verified carbon offsetting for unavoidable residual emissions by 2030.
Carbon reduction projects
Completed carbon reduction initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the start of the plan. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 4 tCO2e, a 19% reduction against the 2026 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.
• Shared office by licence agreement – treating office-related energy consumption as Scope 3 purchased services, with no direct control over fuel use.
• Digital-first delivery – service delivery, training, and audits primarily conducted online, reducing business travel needs.
• Low-travel policy – essential journeys only, with preference for rail and public transport over air and car travel.
• Cloud services with renewable energy commitments – choosing providers with strong sustainability credentials, such as Microsoft and AWS.
Future carbon reduction initiatives
In the future we hope to implement further measure such as:
• Verified carbon offsetting – from 2027, offsetting unavoidable residual emissions via recognised schemes (e.g. UK Woodland Carbon Code)
• Improved data capture and reporting – implementing tools to better measure Scope 3 impacts such as IT procurement and supply chain emissions
• Increase the knowledge and learning resources available to our staff and supply chain on sustainability topics
• Designing of more sustainable solutions for new projects
Declaration and sign off
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 006 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 (13) and uses the appropriate government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.(14)
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements (where required), 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.(15)
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
