Scrumconnect Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.
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: 2020
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
Our baseline year was chosen as 2021 as we acquired new office spaces to accommodate our growing business and increasing workforce
For Scope 1 and 2 calculations we followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental and Reporting Guidelines. We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard and the UK Government's Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2021.
For Scope 3 calculations we followed the guidance of GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard and have used the UK Government's Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2021 for reporting. Different advised methods of calculations have been employed to calculate best these emissions including fuel method, distance method, spend method using proxy techniques, industry averages.

Since most of 2020,2021 was in lockdown and the need required for smaller offices we moved offices in 2021.. We are committed to implementing a system to manage the data and quality of reporting. Since this is not yet fully in place, we have calculated our baseline and expected metrics using available online tools record best estimates across the required measurement categories.We expect our reporting to mature significantly over the coming year. For the year to date, our GHG emissions for Scope 3 have increased significantly due to increase in business travel. This increase was mainly driven by a shift to working from offices
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 64.32 tCO2e by 2025. This is a reduction of 32%
Due to COVID and subsequent lockdowns, our emissions for 2020 have drastically reduced across all the three scope sections. With lockdowns opening up, and people working from office, we expect an increase in emissions until the working practices are established. We are committed to reduce the emissions under scope 3 by reducing business travel , waste generated by our operations and keeping a watch on our upstream and downstream transportation activities
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

Completed Initiatives towards Carbon Reduction
Our office spaces have:
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.
Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard[1] and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting[2].
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard[3].
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
