Carbon Reduction Plan
CARBON REDUCTION PLAN GUIDANCE
Notes for Completion
Where an In-Scope Organisation has determined that the measure applies to the
procurement, suppliers wishing to bid for that contract are required at the selection stage to
submit a Carbon Reduction Plan which details their organisational carbon footprint and
confirms their commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050.
Carbon Reduction Plans are to be completed by the bidding supplier1 and must meet the
reporting requirements set out in supporting guidance, and include the supplier’s current
carbon footprint and its commitment to reducing emissions to achieve Net Zero emissions by
2050.
The CRP should be specific to the bidding entity, or, provided certain criteria are met, may
cover the bidding entity and its parent organisation. In order to ensure the CRP remains
relevant, a Carbon Reduction Plan covering the bidding entity and its parent organisation is
only permissible where the detailed requirements of the CRP are met in full, as set out in the
Technical Standard2 and Guidance3, and all of the following criteria are met:
● The bidding entity is wholly owned by the parent;
● The commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 for UK operations is set out in the
CRP for the parent and is supported and adopted by the bidding entity, demonstrated
by the inclusion in the CRP of a statement that this will apply to the bidding entity;
● The environmental measures set out are stated to be able to be applied by the
bidding entity when performing the relevant contract; and
● The CRP is published on the bidding entity’s website.
Bidding entities must take steps to ensure they have their own CRP as soon as reasonably
practicable and should note that the ability to rely on a parent organisation’s Carbon
Reduction Plan may only be a temporary measure under this selection criterion.
The Carbon Reduction Plan should be updated regularly (at least annually) and published and
clearly signposted on the supplier’s UK website. It should be approved by a director (or
equivalent senior leadership) within the supplier’s organisation to demonstrate a clear
commitment to emissions reduction at the highest level. Suppliers may wish to adopt the key
objectives of the Carbon Reduction Plan within their strategic plans.
A template for the Carbon Reduction Plan is set out below. Please complete and publish your
Carbon Reduction Plan in accordance with the reporting standard published alongside this
PPN.

Carbon Reduction Plan
Supplier name: Moffat and Riley North West Heating Services
Publication date: 14/12/2022
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Moffat and Riley North West Heating Services is committed to achieving NetZero emissions
by 2050.
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: 2021-22
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
Moffat and Riley North West Heating Services (MnR) began collecting data in accordance with
the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirement for our financial year ending
5 April 2022; this being set as our baseline year. Full Scope 3 data has not been collected or
reported as this was not required, but as per reporting guidance, vehicle emissions have been
included within Scope 3 calculations.
Data has been calculated/gathered from our fleet of vehicles; using the number of miles they
have travelled per annum (gained by the use of trackers on our fleet vehicles), multiplied by the
amount of Co2 released per mile. Any personal car usage for business purposes was derived
from our expense claim system. This means that data is based on calculations from actual data
rather than average data methods to ensure we have a more accurate calculation.
Due to operations being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, we intend to recalculate our
baseline emissions to reflect a full year of usual operation; including scope 3 categories of
emissions. At present we expect to use 2022-2023 as our new baseline, assuming no further
significant change to our operations. By the end of May 2023 we will be able to update this plan
to include applicable Scope 3 categories including:
•
Category 4 Upstream transportation and distribution
•
Category 5 Waste generated in operations
•
Category 6 Business travel
•
Category 7 Employee commuting
•
Category 9 Downstream transportation and distribution

Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon
reduction targets.
We will reduce our Carbon emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to achieve
NetZero by 2050 and will put in place interim targets to ensure sufficient progress is made.
We have seen a decrease in our reported carbon emissions of 40.7 tCO2e (an 8.4%
reduction) for our base year to current year. However, this is not a true representation of the
impact of our carbon reduction projects as the main components affecting our carbon
emissions (purchased electricity and fuel for transport purposes) have been impacted by the
pandemic with restricted use of our offices and restricted travel.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 150 tCO 2e by 2027.
This is a reduction of 57.3%.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or
implemented since the 2021-22 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these
schemes equate to 40.7 tCO2 e, a 8.4%ge reduction against the 2021-22 baseline and the
measures will be in effect when performing the contract.
Since 2022 we:
•
Launched a hybrid approach to working for 46% of our staff, which supports
homeworking and brings a reduction in the amount of carbon generated through
employee commuting.
•
Agreed a hybrid approach with board/committee members and supplier meetings,
meaning less travel will be generated by our governance operations.
•
Facilitated the recycling and re-use of over 100 items of network hardware since
January 2022
•
Supported many colleagues through a cycle to work scheme, with salary sacrifice
available to support the purchase of a bicycle and provided facilities at offices
including bike storage and showers.
•
Wherever possible, we always advocate the purchase and supply of green energy
materials in building which we are working.
In the future we are planning to implement the following further measures:
•
Exploring how we can use carbon capture and offsetting to reduce our emissions in
line with our ambitions
•
Requiring our suppliers to confirm their commitment to achieving NetZero by 2050.
•
Minimising energy consumption in our works through a life cycle assessment and the
introduction of energy optimisation tools and processes.
•
Exploring a salary sacrifice scheme for electric cars.
•
Prioritising environmental responsibility throughout the design and execution of the
future office refurbishments.
