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: 01/11/2021 - 31/10/2022

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.

Finegreen has not been previously assessed or reported our emissions; this will be used as our baseline year.

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 over the next 26 years to 0 tCO2e by 2049.
This is a reduction of 99.9%
Carbon Reduction Projects
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
  • Encourage further Car share scheme for members of staff to reduce vehicle carbon emissions on the commute to work
  • Implement structured hybrid policy for staff
  • Continue to install and operate technology to further reduce business travel and other one-to-one meetings
  • Support our landlord in achieving the national targets based on how we can influence our landlord
  • Encourage the use of public transport by implementing a travel pass scheme
  • Look to gain certification from environmental management schemes
  • Investigate the benefits of signing up to SBTi to help assist us in developing a clearly defined path to reduce our emissions.
