Net Zero history
As part of Bytes Technology Group, in 2023 we calculated our
Scope 3 emissions across all 10 categories, relevant to the
business, for the first time. Our baseline for Scope 3 was set at FY
2022/23 and at the end of 2023 we submitted our GHG emissions
reduction targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) .
In June 2024 we received validation of our near-term and net zero
targets (2040).
Scope 3 Category 1 – purchased goods and services is by far our
largest emissions source and has led to greater work with our
suppliers, which will gain increasing focus to understand their
emissions and reductions plans. In addition, we continue to focus
on initiatives that will drive down emissions we can directly impact
such as energy efficiency in buildings and green transportation.
This supports our work to achieve a 50% reduction by 2030 in
Scope 3.
Net Zero committed date
The company is committed to be Net Zero by 2040.
