Carbon Reduction Plan
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Remity Staffing Solution LTD recognizes the urgent need to address climate change and is committed to reducing its carbon footprint to achieve net-zero emissions by 2051. This Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) outlines our strategy and commitment to sustainability, aligning with UK net-zero targets and best practices.
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: 2022 |

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. |
Remity staffing solution limited began collecting emissions data in accordance with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirement for our financial year ending 14/Dec/2022. In accordance with these requirements, we have Scope 1 and 2 emissions for one reporting years and have used the six month as our baseline. Full Scope 3 data has not been collected or reported for these years as this was not required, but as per reporting guidance, vehicle emissions have been included in Scope 3 calculations. personal car usage for business purposes was derived from our expenses claim system. This represents a partial report against Scope 3 category 6 Business travel. We are in the process of gathering Scope 3 emissions data to establish a clear baseline and will include this in our SECR report for the current financial year, ending 14/Dec/2022. |

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 27.3 tCO2e by 2027. This is a reduction of 9 %.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2022 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 27.3 tCO2e, a 9 % reduction against the 2022 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.
