Carbon Reduction Plan 

OneID is committed to achieving Net Zero 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 Emissions

OneID® is a B Corp and we initially calculated our CO2 emissions in July 2021.

20 employees remote working for 228 days & 1 contractor working minimum 20 hours a week @ 2.67 KgCO2e/day – 12,480 Kg of CO2 (12.480 tCO2e) 

8 employees in total who have joined or left, working a combined total of 883 days @ 2.67 KgCO2e/day - 2,358 Kg of CO2 (2.358 tCO2e) 

We have 30 days' worth of shared office space available across the team monthly via our provider Work.Life, which is subtracted from the total WFH days – 14,838 minus 961 Kg of CO2 = 13,877 Kg of CO2 (13.877 tCO2e) 

Employees use of shared office space + travel produces 609 KG of CO2 (0.609 tCO2)

Emissions reduction targets

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 to 15 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 20% from our baseline year. This target has been met with a 23% total reduction in 2025 from our baseline year.

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2021 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 4.311 tCO2e, a 23% reduction against the 2021 baseline. We have surpassed our targeted 20% reduction in tCO2e by 2028 with a 23% reduction achieved in 2025. 

As a primarily remote company, the majority of OneID employees work from home and therefore have a low-carbon footprint for their workday and have zero commuting carbon. We have 30 total days of shared office space available to our team, per month, via our provider Work.Life, which again minimises our footprint. Our employees commute via train, which has the least footprint. 

What the future looks like

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as using cloud services for our own service, and therefore hope to gain further efficiencies from more efficient datacentre technologies used by our suppliers to further reduce the carbon emissions.
