Commitment to achieving Net Zero

HSF Training Ltd 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: 1^st April 2023 – 31^st March 2024
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
As this is our first Carbon Footprint Plan, the data below is taken from last year’s reporting period – 1^st April 2023 – 31^st March 2024
Baseline year emissions:
EMISSIONS	TOTAL (tCO₂e)
Scope 1	2668.543
Scope 2	1323.4816
Scope 3 (Included Sources)	n/a
Total Emissions	3992.0246

Current Emissions Reporting

Reporting Year: n/a due to this being our first report
EMISSIONS	TOTAL (tCO₂e)

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 under 2500 tCO₂e by 2025. This is a reduction of 62%

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 1^st April 2023 baseline. As these have recently been introduced, sufficient time has not elapsed to establish the impact of these measures. The measures will be in effect when performing the contract.

Purchase of hybrid vehicle by one of our lead trainers
Moved to smaller premises May 2024 which will significantly reduce the consumption of gas, electric and water as well as reducing the commuting distance for employees. Building has lighting on sensors to reduce unnecessary electricity usage
Use of online / e learning where practicable to reduce the need for learners and trainers to travel
Work from home encouraged for employees where practicable
Training materials sent via email or printed double sided to reduce electricity usage for printing and paper and ink usage.

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

– Reduced amount of paper used for training materials further – e.g. condense handouts supplied to learners to lower electricity and paper usage

– Continue to offer working from home as an option where practicable

– Ensure items are switched off when not in use/office is unattended.
