Carbon Reduction Plan 

OneID is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2030

 

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.

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.

✓ 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 1.459 tCO2e, a 7.8% reduction against the 2021 baseline. The measures will be in effect when performing the contract. 

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. Approximately 28% of our employees have a hybrid working pattern, with 2 days worked in a shared office environment, 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.

Declaration and Sign Off

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 and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting[1].

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[2]. Shared office space emissions have been reported using sustainability data provided by our partner Work.Life in accordance with the GHG Reporting Protocol and has been quality verified by a third party[3].

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