Carbon Reduction Plan
Are you bidding for UK government contracts over £5 million or more?
Are you aware of the requirement to be compliant with PPN 06/21?
Do you need support developing a Carbon Reduction Plan?
What is PPN 06/21?
PPN 06/21 requires companies bidding on qualifying UK public contracts to demonstrate their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 and publish a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan.
Step 1: Measurement and Reporting Standards
To create a net zero strategy, companies must measure their current carbon emissions and adhere to reporting standards. They must also provide a detailed report on specific subsets of emissions to demonstrate their commitment to net zero.
Reporting standards: Emissions must be measured and reported according to government standards and protocols. Government published conversion factors must be used for non CO2 greenhouse gases. A subset of Scope 3 emissions outlined in PPN 06/21 must also be reported.
Please visit our GHG inventory services for further information about measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions.
Step 2: Reduce
The second step in creating a net zero strategy involves setting a target to reach net zero by 2050 and tracking progress towards that target. Targets can be absolute or based on an intensity metric such as FTE or revenue.
Step 3: Report
The final step in creating a net zero strategy is to detail past, current or intended carbon reduction projects and explain how they achieve reductions against a defined base year.
