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 represents the largest source of emissions and has driven increased engagement with suppliers. This will remain a growing area of focus to improve understanding of suppliers’ emissions profiles and reduction plans. In parallel, continued emphasis is placed on initiatives within direct influence, including reducing waste and water, as well as transitioning to greener transport options. These actions support progress towards achieving a 50% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030.
The company is committed to be Net Zero by 2040.
