Net Zero by 2027:
one small business’s path
video series – short videos
How we’re going about reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2027, after signing up to the SME Climate Hub.
This time we look at additional data that we can collect to get a better understanding of our emissions.
Here we compare the values from both methods of calculating our carbon footprint. We work through the pros and cons and arrive at a decision about which method to use.
In this video we describe the steps needed to work through our carbon emissions from first principles.
Here we continue our search for free carbon calculators so we can compare their results with those we obtained using the Business Carbon calculator.
In this next step on our path to Net Zero by 2027, Normative respond to our queries about how to enter our business travel into the calculator.
The first stage is to work out the quantity of greenhouse gases we contribute to the world total and this is the end of that process.
In this video, we reveal the result of our initial calculation and the total mass of greenhouse gases we emit.
We’re getting close now! Here we are looking at the indirect costs to the business. That is, the things we buy, our use of transport, professional services and software.
More data entry! Now we need to enter details about our gas and electricity use for the business to the online form.
Now that we are ready to start the calculation of our greenhouse gas emissions, we need to decide which of the calculators we will use.
As a provider of online training materials we expect that our use of computers and other electronic devices will contribute a significant proportion of our emissions.
We are calculating our emissions for our financial year 2021-22 and identify that Brexit and Covid-19 had a significant effect.
Now that we’ve signed up to the SME Climate Hub and made our public commitment to Net Zero, the next stage is to gather information about our business.
We’ve signed up to the SME Climate Hub and committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2027. We are doing this alongside thousands of other small businesses.
