JPR Solutions (UK) Ltd conducted its first carbon emissions audit in 2023 and will assess emissions for 2024, in line with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
| Baseline Year: 2022/23 | |||
Additional Details relating to the Baseline emissions calculations: For now, we have only included emissions relating to category 3 in our Scope 3 Carbon Footprint breakdown as the remaining categories are either not relevant or there is lack of quality data and therefore cannot report. | |||
| Baseline year emissions: | Total (tCO₂e) | % of total | |
| Scope 1 | Fuel used across fleet vehicles | 59.7 | 94.2% |
| Scope 2 | N/A | 0* | 0* |
| Scope 3 | Category 3: Fuel and energy-related activities | 3.7 | 5.8% |
| Total Emissions | 63.4 | 100% | |
*JPR Solutions (UK) Ltd cannot control or measure emissions within this scope.
At the time of reporting most emissions falling within Scope 1 at 94.2%. This is due to most carbon emissions being from the vehicle fleet, across the business. Emissions within Scope 2 are not applicable and Scope 3 emissions reporting data is incomplete, leading to only one category being reportable.
To continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following reduction targets:
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
