Commitment to achieving Net Zero
CARMA International Limited 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: 2023 | |
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. | |
2023 represents the first year that we have reported emissions, and it was the first normalised year post-pandemic when business and business operations resumed with staff working onsite rather than remotely. Business travel also resumed as did investment in business activities to stimulate growth such as advertising/marketing. | |
Baseline year emissions: | |

Emissions Reduction Targets
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 79.2 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 20%
In the period 2030 – 2040 we plan to reduce carbon emissions by 40% to 47.52 tCO2e It is our intention to reduce our carbon emissions to Net Zero by 2050
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

Carbon Reduction Projects
The carbon reduction opportunities in this section, once fully implemented, will reduce CARMA International Limited’s GHG emissions each year in line with achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
In order to achieve Net Zero, CARMA International Limited will be required to reduce across its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Scope 1 (Gas) Actions
- Normalise Usage/ Reduce Usage.
- Require the landlord to improve heating efficiencies and provide insulation of windows, doors etc.
Scope 2 (Electricity) Actions
- Implement available technical solutions, including hardware and software building and energy management systems.
- Ensure we have power management policies in place for hardware such as laptops / PC / printers etc.
- Encourage behavioural change through publishing internally a regular dashboard of carbon output and energy consumption.
- Reduce the use of unnecessary electricity consumption, invest in more efficient hardware, turn things off.
- Use energy-efficient lighting and review our lighting usage: Using energy-efficient lighting such as LED bulbs will reduce energy consumption and investing in a better and systematic lighting approach will reduce outputs.
- Reduce the use of printers and copiers to control unnecessary and wasteful ink, paper and energy usage.
- Ensure that staff know that they need to switch off all non-vital energy consuming devices when the office is not in use.
Scope 3 Actions
Business Travel

- Staff will be educated on how to reduce the impact of a hotel stay.
- Ongoing encouragement towards Hybrid / Remote meetings.
Employee learning and behaviour change
- All employees at CARMA can contribute to reduce their energy footprint simply by switching off equipment at night, separating and sorting waste and travelling as sustainably as possible.
- Actions taken to reduce the impact of employee behaviours and actions will have impact primarily on Scope 2 Electricity and some parts of Scope 3 Travel.
- Regular information on reducing environmental impacts, carbon reduction and pertinent recent environmental events will be shared with employees through internal newsletters, webinars and Lunch-and-Learn sessions.
- A carbon reduction officer will be appointed to monitor behaviour and suggest improvements and ongoing adherence to our commitments and plans.
- An overall performance dashboard for CARMA’s carbon reduction will be made available to all staff and updated regularly by our appointed carbon reduction champion.
- Leadership groups will have to agree a budget to introduce measures and actions to reduce impact.
