Carbon Reduction Plan

COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVING NET ZERO 

Vohkus is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. Publication date: 19/12/2022 

BASELINE EMISSIONS FOOTPRINT 

CURRENT EMISSIONS REPORTING 

REPORTING PERIOD: 

1st January to 31st December. 

BASELINE YEAR & CURRENT REPORTING YEAR 

Due to 2021 being the first year we have measured our CO2e emissions, the report for the Baseline Year and Current Reporting year contains the same figures. Due to this, the explanations below apply to both sets of data: 

SCOPE 1 

Scope 1 is reported as 0 tCO2e in 2021 due to Vohkus having no boilers, on-site manufacturing, a fleet or f-gases to report emissions on. 

SCOPE 2 

Within Scope 2, we have measured the emissions released from working from home and the consumption of purchased gas and electricity. With all of Vohkus’ employees making the most of hybrid working, we have calculated 3 out of 5 days as spent working from home and the other 2 from the office. Heating, lighting and computer consumption have all been taken into account to calculate emissions released due to working from home. 

SCOPE 3 

Within Scope 3, we have calculated the emissions released from business travel and employee commuting. After surveying our employees, we were able to calculate the emissions released per vehicle type from 2021 to reach a total figure. 

• UPSTREAM & DOWNSTREAM TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION 

We are currently looking to track our upstream and downstream transportation and distribution in more detail, however, we currently don’t have these figures available. Consequently, the 2 subsets in Scope 3 are reported as 0tCO2e 2021. Due to this, we are looking at our supply chain to ensure all mileage is tracked. Once the data is available, we will re-baseline to ensure our carbon emissions can be compared fairly year on year. 

• WASTE GENERATED IN OPERATIONS 

We have requested the CO2e released from our waste removal provider, however, they don’t currently have this data available. We have been assured that this is something they are looking to be able to provide for the next reporting year and will include this in our report for 2022 onwards. 

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 61.9tCO2e by 2026, this is a reduction of 10%. 

CARBON REDUCTION PROJECTS 

Over the next 5 years, we are committed to reducing our emissions by: 

• We are continuing with a hybrid working model, this will reduce the emissions quantified in Scope 3; 
• We will be carrying out a needs assessment for all meetings and utilising Teams where in-person meetings aren’t required; 
• Ensuring all lighting is led with sensors in every room to minimise unnecessary electricity consumed in the office; 
• Recycling all waste and signposting this throughout the office.
