Commitment to achieving Net Zero

 

A+G Architects is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by , in line with UK Government targets. We are signed up to ‘Architects Declare’ demonstrating our commitment to combatting the climate and biodiversity emergency.

​​

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.

Emissions reduction targets

 

We aim to reduce our total emissions by 25% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050. This includes switching to green energy, reducing travel, and improving digital workflows.

 

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 over the next five years to approximately 6–11 tCO₂e by 2030. This is a reduction of 25%.

 

Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

Carbon Reduction Projects

​

Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been implemented. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes is estimated at 2–4 tCO₂e, representing a 15–25% reduction against the 2025 baseline. These measures will be in effect when performing the contract and include:

​

• ISO 14001 accreditation

• Green energy supplier

• Cycle-to-work initiative

• Remote working and reduced commuting

• Paperless workflows and digital design tools

 

Future carbon reduction initiatives

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

 

• Formal carbon accounting and annual reporting

• Joining the Supply Chain Sustainability School

• Further reduction in Scope 3 emissions via sustainable procurement

• Exploring PAS 2060 certification

​

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 006 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[1] and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting[2].

​

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[3].

​

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors.
