Carbon Reduction Plan

Supplier name: Van de Satpura BV

Publication date: 17th February 2025

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Van de Satpura BV is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
As an SME, we can decide what type of business we want to be and how what we do has an impact on the environment. The team at Van de Satpura want to be part of the climate change management solution, not the problem and support the UK government commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Future ambitions will be to one day operate as a carbon negative company through further carbon emission reducing initiatives.

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: 2024

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.

Van de Satpura has not previously calculated and published any carbon emission calculations. Therefore, we have chosen to look at the most recent year, 2024, for our baseline. These calculations have been developed in line with the Cabinet Office’s ‘Guidance on adopting and applying the PPN 06/21’ and the ‘PPN 0621 Technical standard for the Completion of Carbon Reduction Plans 2’. The kWh data used for this baseline was calculated using a bottom-up approach, aggregating energy consumption data from individual devices across our employees. Data for this baseline was collected from Carbon Brief. While our long-term goal is to collect granular energy consumption data for all our employees, due to the ongoing rollout of energy monitoring program, average energy consumption data was used for energy intensity. Van de Satpura plans to report its carbon emissions annually and will explore opportunities to further improve data collection and analysis, including enhancing sub-metering coverage, in future reporting periods.

Baseline year emissions:
EMISSIONS	TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1: Direct Emissions Van de Satpura employed 2.1 members of staff in 2024, all of whom work from home and do not operate company owned vehicles resulting in a carbon footprint of 0 tCO2e.	0
Scope 2: Indirect Emissions Van de Satpura employed 2.1 members of staff, all of whom work from home, over the course of the year. We have calculated the daily energy consumption using devices actually used by our employees. Using national carbon intensity benchmarks of 124 gCO2e per kWh, gives a total "working from home" carbon footprint of 0.5 tCO2e	0.5
Scope 3: Indirect Emissions Purchased Goods and Services Not applicable as Van de Satpura does not purchase or re-sell any physical goods Capital Goods Not applicable as Van de Satpura does not own any equipment, machinery, buildings, facilities, or vehicles. Fuel and Energy related activities not captured in Scope 1 or 2 Zero Upstream Transportation and Distribution Not applicable as Van de Satpura does not operate any upstream transportation and distribution. Waste Generated in Operations In 2024 we did not generate waster that can be broken down, recycled, and eventually placed into landfill. the waste generated value is 0 tCO2e Business Travel In 2024 we did only virtual meetings removing the need for international flights, car mileage, and train journeys. The travel value is 0 tCO2e Employee Commute The Van de Satpura team works remotely so the commute value is 0 tCO2e Upstream Leased Assets >Not applicable as Van de Satpura is not involved in the manufacture of any products. Downstream transportation & Distribution Not applicable as Van de Satpura does not utilise any downstream transportation and distribution. Downstream Leased Assets Not applicable as we have no leased assets. Franchises Not applicable as we have no franchise deals in place. Investments Not applicable as we have no investments in other businesses.	0
Total Emissions	0.5

Emissions reduction targets

Van de Satpura is committed to reducing our carbon footprint and has made progress in our sustainability journey. Our initial carbon emissions calculations for 2024, which also establish our baseline year, provide a foundation for future reductions. While factors such as increased business activity, expansion of operations presents potential challenges, we are actively implementing strategies to mitigate their impact. These strategies include using energy efficient devices by our employees, exploring renewable energy options, promoting remote work and reducing travel.
We are dedicated to learning from this baseline year and refining our strategies to make meaningful progress towards our long-term carbon reduction goals. Our vision of operating as a net carbon-zero organization by 2050 remains unchanged, and we will continue to innovate and implement sustainable practices to achieve this objective. We recognize that achieving carbon neutrality is an ongoing process, and we are committed to continuous improvement in our sustainability efforts. We appreciate the support of our stakeholders as we work towards a more sustainable future.
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
We are committed to capping carbon emissions at 1 tCO2e by 2029.

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

As we continue to measure our emissions, we remain committed to implementing projects aimed at improving our carbon footprint and advancing towards Net Zero emissions as swiftly as possible. This includes prioritizing suppliers that comply with environmental regulations and are actively working towards their own net-zero goals. We believe that partnering with like-minded organizations is essential to achieving our collective sustainability objectives
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

• We will continue to prioritize education and awareness by developing modules focused on carbon emissions and our Net Zero commitment. This initiative aims to ensure all employees are informed and actively contributing to our Net Zero goals.
• We will encourage staff to switch from combustion engine cars to zero-emission electric vehicles for business travel. This initiative aims to reduce our future carbon footprint associated with transportation.
• We will encourage the use of video conferencing to reduce the need for travel, especially for short meetings. Additionally, we will implement measures to promote the use of rail travel over domestic flights and select lower-emission flights whenever possible.
• Explore carbon offset strategies in collaboration with o organizations. This initiative seeks to offset unavoidable emissions by supporting carbon reduction projects elsewhere.
