Baseline Year & Current Reporting Year

Due to 2023 being the first year we have measured our CO2e emissions, the report for the Baseline Year and Current Reporting year contains the same figures. Due to this, the explanations below apply to both sets of data:

Scope 1

Scope 1 is reported as 0 tCO2e in the 2023 due to NoFussIT Ltd having no boilers, on-site manufacturing, a fleet or f-gases to report emissions on.

Scope 2

Within Scope 2, we have measured the emissions released from working from home and the consumption of purchased gas and electricity in office. With five of NoFussIT’s employees making the most of hybrid working, we have calculated 2 out of 5 days as spent working from home and the other 3 from the office. Heating, lighting and computer consumption have all been taken into account to calculate emissions released due to working from home. These activities have resulted in 1.38 tCO2e released during 2023.

Scope 3

Business Travel

The Business Travel Subset in Scope 3 has been quantified for NoFussIT in the Baseline Year, with 2.64 tCO2e reported. This takes into account travel by employee-owned vehicles for business purposes, excluding the commute to and from work.

Employee Commuting

The emissions resulting from employee commuting have been calculated at 4.06 tCO2e, considering factors such as the distance travelled, mode of transportation, and average fuel consumption. This calculation accounts for the total commuting emissions generated by our employees and the corresponding greenhouse gas emissions associated with their transportation choices.

Upstream & Downstream transportation and distribution

We are currently looking to track our upstream and downstream transportation and distribution in more detail, however, we currently don’t have these figures available. Consequently, the 2 subsets in Scope 3 are reported as 0tCO2e. Due to this, we are looking at our supply chain to ensure all mileage is tracked. Once the data is available, we will re-baseline to ensure our carbon emissions can be compared fairly year on year.

Waste generated in Operations

We have requested the CO2e released from our waste removal provider, however, they don’t currently have this data available. We have been assured that this is something they are looking to be able to provide for the next reporting year and will include this in our report for 2023 onwards.

Emissions reduction targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

To further our commitment to achieving Net Zero, we have set the following carbon reduction goals:

Carbon Offsetting:

We are partnering with Ecologi to offset our carbon emissions by planting trees. This initiative helps us contribute to global reforestation efforts and supports our goal of achieving Net Zero.

Resource Efficiency:

We provide training for employees on the efficient use of resources (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and promote the recycling of office supplies and equipment. Staff are actively involved in suggesting improvements to our climate change initiatives. We also encourage participation in green community events.

Energy Consumption:

We strive to reduce energy usage by ensuring all equipment is energy-efficient where possible and by turning off all electrical devices at the end of the business day. The use of thermostats also helps in reducing energy consumption.

Paper Use:

We minimise paper usage by sending invoices and communications via email or cloud platforms. We request electronic invoices and communications from suppliers and clients whenever possible. Any paper-based correspondence received is shredded and recycled.

Travel:

We aim to lower our travel-related carbon emissions by encouraging cycling, the use of public transport, and virtual meetings via video conferencing. We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 5.66 tCO2e by 2029. This is a reduction of 30%.
Due to some areas of limited reporting, we have identified gaps and will begin tracking our activities to ensure a more comprehensive report can be produced for our next reporting year. Once we are able to report all areas, we will look to rebaseline to ensure our starting position is an accurate comparison for the years that follow.
