Training Byte Size Carbon Reduction Plan

Training ByteSize is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, in line with UK government targets.

We are in the process of measuring our baseline carbon emissions, covering:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, and cooling.
• Scope 3: Indirect emissions from supply chain activities, including business travel and employee commuting.

Our initial assessment indicates that the majority of our emissions come from:

• Energy usage in our office spaces
• Business travel (flights, commuting, and accommodation for training sessions)
• Procurement of digital and printed training materials

Training ByteSize has set the following targets to reduce our emissions:

• Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030
• Reduce business travel-related emissions by 30% by 2030
• Transition to 100% renewable energy sources for our operations by 2028

To achieve these reductions, we are implementing the following measures:

• Energy Efficiency: Upgrading office lighting to LED, optimizing heating and cooling, and improving IT equipment efficiency.
• Renewable Energy: Transitioning to a renewable energy provider for our office and exploring options for carbon-neutral web hosting.
• Sustainable Travel Policies: Encouraging remote training delivery, reducing non-essential travel, and offsetting emissions for necessary flights.
• Sustainable Procurement: Prioritizing suppliers with strong sustainability credentials and reducing printed materials in favour of digital resources.
• Employee Engagement: Promoting carbon-conscious practices among employees, such as carpooling, remote work, and sustainable commuting.

Our Carbon Reduction Plan is reviewed annually to track progress and adjust initiatives where necessary. We will publish updates on our website and provide transparency regarding our sustainability commitments.

This Carbon Reduction Plan meets the requirements set out in PPN 06/21 and is published in accordance with UK government guidance.
