Carbon Reduction Plan
Carbon Reduction Plan Information
This “Net Zero by 2050 Pathway” outlines a multi-phased plan to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, with specific targets set for short, mid, and long-term periods, focusing on transitioning to electric vehicles, energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy usage, and supply chain emission reduction.
Short-term Targets (2025-2030):
- Transition 50% of the vehicle fleet to electric vehicles.
- Conduct energy audits in all facilities to identify energy inefficiencies.
- Switch entirely to certified renewable electricity suppliers.
- Implement remote working policies for administrative staff to reduce commuting emissions.
Mid-term Targets (2031-2040):
- Fully electrify the entire vehicle fleet.
- Retrofit care homes with high-efficiency HVAC systems.
- Establish engagement programs with suppliers to reduce their upstream emissions.
- Begin purchasing verified carbon offsets to compensate for residual emissions.
Long-term Targets (2041-2050):
- Achieve zero emissions for all direct operations (Scope 1 and 2).
- Minimize Scope 3 emissions through circular procurement practices.
- Invest in nature-based solutions and carbon removal technologies.
- Obtain Net Zero certification from a third-party verifier.
