Carbon Management Plan

Our commitment to achieving Net Zero — baseline emissions, reduction targets, and the initiatives we are taking to reduce our carbon footprint.

Our Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

JWA Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.

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: 2024 (01/01/24 – 31/12/24)

Scope 1Based on business mileage
Scope 2Office carbon emissions
Scope 3Other business travel including train journeys
Category 4Zero emissions — as a consulting business, emissions in this category are close to zero and are included in Scope 2.
Category 5No waste other than minimal office waste is generated within the business; also included in Scope 2.
Category 6Included in Scope 1.
Category 7Not relevant as all employees work from home.
Category 9As a consulting business, no tangible products are sold and therefore not relevant.

Emissions Reduction Targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:

  • Prioritise electric vehicles over diesel
  • Reduce fossil fuel use by switching to renewable sources of energy through our energy supplier
  • Introduce a 'No Flying Policy' unless no alternatives are available

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 2.973 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 54%.

Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

2024 was the baseline year for our organisation, and future years will be measured against this baseline data.

Future Carbon Reduction Initiatives

As an organisation we have identified our greatest impact can be made in effectively managing business travel. As a company we have therefore committed to the use of electric vehicles in the future, and also to the use of train travel wherever possible.
