Carbon Reduction Plan

1. Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Unolabs Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045.

We are a small technology consultancy. We own no vehicles and ship no goods. Our people work in a hybrid pattern: usually two days a week at our office at 6 Wingfield Road and three days remotely, with people placed at client sites working as each client agrees. We already encourage public transport and car sharing for work travel. We run our business on cloud services, including Microsoft 365. Our footprint is therefore likely to come mostly from business travel, commuting, home working and the electricity used at our office. This plan sets out how we will measure it and bring it down.

2. Baseline emissions footprint

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases we produced in a chosen reference year. They are the point we measure our reductions against.

Baseline year: financial year 2026-27 (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027)

Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations: our baseline follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, using the operational control approach. We used the UK Government's greenhouse gas conversion factors for company reporting (2026 set). Scope 2 is reported on a location basis. The figures below are estimated from working patterns for FY 2026-27, because the year is not yet over. They will be replaced with measured figures after 31 March 2027, and we will publish the measured baseline by 5 November 2027. Where we were unsure of an activity level, we used the higher estimate.

Scope 1 is nil because we own no vehicles and there is no gas supply at our office.

3. Current emissions reporting

Reporting year: financial year 2026-27 (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027)

FY 2026-27 is both our baseline year and our first reporting year, so the figures are the same as in section 2. They are estimated from working patterns for FY 2026-27, and will be replaced with measured figures after 31 March 2027.

4. Emissions reduction targets

To continue our progress towards Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that carbon emissions will fall over the next five years to 3.75 tCO2e by 2031-32. This is a reduction of 27.8% against our baseline. Our path is a straight line from the baseline to Net Zero in 2045. The baseline is an estimate, so we will reset these figures once we have measured data.

5. Carbon reduction projects

Completed carbon reduction initiatives

We have not yet completed any measured carbon reduction projects. We will report completed projects, and the reductions they achieved, in each annual refresh of this plan.

Planned carbon reduction initiatives

We will:

• set up a travel and home-working record, so every journey and working pattern is captured for the footprint, by 31 December 2026;
• replace our estimated baseline with measured figures and publish it, by 5 November 2027;
• adopt a travel policy that favours video calls over travel, rail instead of domestic flights, and rail over air for short-haul trips where practical, by 31 January 2027;
• move our office to a renewable electricity tariff, by 31 March 2027;
• reuse, refurbish or recycle IT equipment through a certified WEEE route, by 31 March 2027;
• ask our main cloud and IT suppliers for their own emissions data and carbon reduction plans, by 31 March 2027;
• review this plan each year, and update our targets once we have two years of data, from 5 November 2027.

We do not currently offset emissions. If we use offsets in future, we will report them separately and will not count them towards our reduction targets.

6. Declaration and sign off

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 006 and the 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. They use the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements where they apply. The required subset of Scope 3 emissions has been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
