CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS CARBON EMISSIONS & NET ZERO TARGETS Saying you’re working hard to lower your impact on the environment is all well and good, but it’s hot air and guesswork if you don’t have the facts and figures to measure your progress and highlight where you need to improve. We don’t just talk the talk when it comes to lowering our impact. The data gathered below proves we walk the walk. We’ve been tracking our emissions since 2020 and have declared we’re going to achieve Net Zero by 2040. This means reducing our Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions* by 90% in comparison with our chosen baseline years. Speaking of baseline years, we’ve just finalised ours. After careful consideration, we’ve recently set our Scope 1 & 2 baseline to 2022. That’s when we started renting space in the Old Chapel in Clifton and saw our Scope 1 emissions start to soar. And we’re just about to set our Scope 3 baseline to 2023—the first year we’ve really had an in-depth read on all our Scope 3 emissions. These baselines are now fixed and will inform all the improvements we need to make in the future. 67
