Our Carbon Reduction Plan & Net Zero Commitment

Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

TPRM Consulting Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 in alignment with the UK Government’s legally binding target under the Climate Change Act 2008.

As an interim target, we commit to reducing our emissions by 46% by 2030 compared to our 2024 baseline year.

This commitment applies to our UK operations and includes all material Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. We will review and update our targets annually, ensuring alignment with the latest climate science and best practice guidance.

This Carbon Reduction Plan represents our roadmap for achieving these commitments through measurable actions, regular monitoring, and transparent reporting.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline Year: 2024

Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations:

2024 was chosen as our baseline year as this represents the first complete calendar year of operations following the company’s formation in Q4 2023. This provides the most accurate and complete dataset for establishing meaningful reduction targets.

Emissions Category Total (tCO2e)
Scope 1
0.000
Scope 2
0.000
Scope 3 (included sources)
1.176
Total Emissions
1.176

Scope Breakdown:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from company-owned or controlled sources (fuel combustion, company vehicles, on-site energy generation):

  • Not Applicable – Our firm is a remote first organization with no physical office space, company vehicles, or direct fuel combustion. All employees work from their own homes using their personal utilities. Therefore, there are no Scope 1 emissions to report.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam, or cooling for company operations:
  • Not Applicable - As a fully remote consulting firm with no office premises, we do not purchase any electricity or energy utilities directly as a company. All energy consumption occurs at employees' homes and is covered under Scope 3.
*Scope 3: Home working emissions: Calculated using DEFRA’s average energy intensity method of 0.334 kgCO₂e per hour per employee. 2 employees × 1,760 working hours × 0.334 kgCO₂e/hour = 1.176 tCO₂e

Current emissions reporting

Reporting year: 2025

Emissions Category Total (tCO2e)

Scope 3 (included sources)
3.121
Total Emissions

Scope Breakdown:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from company-owned or controlled sources (fuel combustion, company vehicles, on-site energy generation):
  • Not Applicable – Justification: Our firm is a remote organization with no physical office space, company vehicles, or direct fuel combustion. All employees work from their own homes using their personal utilities. Therefore, there are no Scope 1 emissions to report.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam, or cooling for company operations:
  • Not Applicable - As a fully remote consulting firm with no office premises, we do not purchase any electricity or energy utilities directly as a company. All energy consumption occurs at employees' homes and is covered under Scope 3.
*Scope 3: Home working emissions: Calculated using DEFRA’s average energy intensity method of 0.334 kgCO₂e per hour per employee. 2025 (Jan-Aug): 8 employees × 1,168 working hours × 0.334 kgCO₂e/hour = 3.121 tCO₂e This represents the additional heating, lighting, and electricity consumed by employees while working from home that would not have been used if they were working in a centralized office.
Emissions Intensity:

0.588 tCO₂e per employee per year (consistent across both periods when annualized)
