Carbon Reduction Plan

Supplier name: Alt Law eDiscovery Limited
Publication date: 26th June 2024

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Alt Law is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

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: 2021
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.

Alt Law have carried out an audit of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for the baseline year starting 1st January 2021 and ending 31st December 2021. This is representative of our business-as-usual CO2e emissions.
Baseline year emissions:
EMISSIONS TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1

The company does not own or operate any vehicles and heating for its offices is via electricity, therefore no hydrocarbons are used by the business. The business therefore has no direct emissions which equates to 0 scope 1 emissions.

 0
Scope 2 9.59
Scope 3
(Included Sources)
  • Upstream transportation and distribution (the company does not deal with physical products, all transactions are completed electronically)
  • Waste generated from operations

Business travel (All communications and transactions are completed electronically therefore there is no business travel associated with the business)

Employee commuting

Downstream transportation and distribution (the company does not deal with physical products, all transactions are completed electronically)

Emissions reduction targets 

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

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 1.96 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 32% 

Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

 Carbon Reduction Projects 

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Following 2022 when we significantly reduced our emissions, through moving to a more efficient office, increasing working from home and reducing our use of paper and waste . We have focused our efforts on maintaining these reductions over the past year. It can be seen that our current emissions despite a slight increase from last year, associated with the rise in grid emissions factors, remain very low, we remain focused on reducing these further to ensure we reach net zero in advance of 2050

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
• Joining the governments bike to work scheme and encourage those staff currently
using trains and tubes to participate, reducing their commuting emissions.
• Move to a renewable energy supplier, ensuring that all electricity used at our offices
are from renewable sources.
• Implement an energy and carbon awareness programme for our staff, to ensure that
energy usage at work is minimised through the right behaviours.
• Further minimise waste created by the business, transitioning to a paperless office.
• Partnering with suitable organisations to offset any residual emissions.

Declaration and Sign Off

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.

Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard1 and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting2 .

Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard3
