Carbon Reduction Plan
Carbon Reduction Plan
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
SeeForth Services Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
In accordance with PPN 06/21 – Carbon Reduction Plan
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:
SeeForth Services' baseline emissions have been calculated using the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, covering our UK operations including head office, project delivery sites, and supply chain activities.
Emissions
TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1 (Direct emissions from owned/controlled sources)
0.2
Scope 2 (Indirect emissions from purchased energy)
0.3
Scope 3 (All other indirect emissions in value chain - included sources)
2.9
Total Emissions
3.4 tCO2e
Scope 1 Emissions: Transit van fuel consumption (~467 miles/year), minimal site equipment
Scope 2 Emissions: Grid electricity (85% offset by on-site solar generation) + Tesla charging (5,000 miles/year)
Scope 3 Emissions: Employee car travel (~1,500 miles/year), public transport, subcontractor travel, waste disposal, purchased goods and services

Emissions reduction percentage (from baseline): 9.7%
Progress has been achieved through reduced Transit van usage, increased public transport adoption, and enhanced supply chain environmental requirements.
Emissions Reduction Targets
SeeForth Services is committed to reducing our carbon emissions in line with the UK Government's Net Zero Strategy and the Science Based Targets initiative pathway for a 1.5°C future.
Our targets:
By 2030: Reduce carbon emissions by 50% (from 2024 baseline)
By 2035: Reduce carbon emissions by 65% (from 2024 baseline)
By 2040: Reduce carbon emissions by 80% (from 2024 baseline)
By 2050: Achieve Net Zero emissions across all scopes
We project that carbon emissions will decrease to 1.7 tCO2e by 2030 and 0.7 tCO2e by 2040. This trajectory positions us to achieve Net Zero by 2050 through a combination of direct emissions reduction and verified carbon offsetting for residual unavoidable emissions.
