Carbon Reduction Plan

Datel Services Limited

Reporting Period: 1st January 2025 – 31st December 2025
Prepared: October 2026
Baseline Year: 1st January 2025 – 31st December 2025
Publishing Date: 1 October 2026

1. Introduction

Datel Services Limited (“the Company”) is committed to reducing its carbon emissions and supporting the UK’s transition to net zero. This Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) sets out the company’s current emissions inventory, its reduction targets, and the actions it will take to achieve them.

This CRP has been prepared in accordance with UK Government procurement requirements (PPN 006/25) and references the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and the UK Government’s Environmental Reporting Guidelines.

2. Organisational Boundary

This CRP covers Datel Services Limited and its UK operations, including:

Head office at Unit 4a Beaufighter Road, Weston-Super-Mare, England, BS24 8EE

Item	Detail
Reporting entity	Datel Services Limited
Company Number	3841133
Registered Address	Unit 4a Beaufighter Road, Weston-Super-Mare, England, BS24 8EE
Headquarters Size	1,851 m²
Total Employees (FTE)	39
Net Zero Commitment Year	2050

The organisational boundary follows the operational control approach. Datel Services Limited operates from a single location — the Weston-Super-Mare Head Office at the registered address. No other entities, sites, or subsidiaries are included or excluded. There are no additional branches, offices, warehouses, or operational locations.

Apportionment: Not applicable — Datel reports a single, wholly occupied site with no shared estate utilities requiring floor-area apportionment.

3. Net Zero Commitment

Datel Services Limited is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3) by 2050.

This commitment covers all emissions sources within the company’s operational control and value chain, including:

Fuel combustion in owned or controlled vehicles and facilities (Scope 1)
Purchased electricity for head office operations (Scope 2)
Purchased goods, capital goods, waste, business travel, and commuting (Scope 3)

Datel Services Limited recognises that achieving net zero requires both deep reductions in absolute emissions and, where residual emissions remain, the removal of an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere. The company will prioritise direct emission reductions and will only use credible offsetting or removal mechanisms for genuinely unavoidable residual emissions.

4. Reporting Approach

Datel Services Limited operates from a single head office in Weston-Super-Mare. The company is an office-based organisation and does not own or operate any manufacturing facilities, data centres, or large vehicle fleets.

4.1 Reporting Approach for Office-Based Operations

The head office is owned/occupied by the Company, which has operational control over the electricity consumed within its demised area.

4.2 Recommended Reporting Approach

Operational control boundary — Datel Services Limited reports emissions from activities over which it has operational control. This comprises electricity consumed within its head office premises, fuel combustion in owned vehicles/facilities, and emissions from business activities undertaken by its employees (business travel, commuting, purchased goods and services).
Location-based reporting — Scope 2 emissions are reported on a location-based method, using the UK grid average emission factor of 0.177 kgCO2e/kWh. No market-based (REGO) claim is made.
Market-based reporting — Not applicable. Datel confirms “No – REGO” for the reporting period.
Spend-based method for Scope 3 — The spend-based method has been applied for Categories 1 (Purchased Goods) and 2 (Capital Goods), using DEFRA spend-based multipliers. Activity-based methods have been applied for Categories 5 (Waste), 6 (Business Travel), and 7 (Employee Commuting).
Intensity metrics — Absolute emissions are reported alongside intensity ratios (tCO2e per FTE and tCO2e per m²) so that performance can be tracked independently of headcount or floor area changes.

6. Intensity Metrics

Absolute emissions figures are read alongside intensity metrics to give a fair picture of performance. This is particularly important for an office-based organisation where headcount and floor area are the primary drivers of emissions.

6.1 Scope 2 Intensity — Head Office

Metric	Value	Unit
Head office Scope 2 emissions	0.74	tCO2e
Electricity consumption	4,174.80	kWh
Scope 2 intensity (electricity)	0.177	kgCO2e/kWh
Head office floor area	1,851	m²
Scope 2 intensity per m²	0.0004	tCO2e/m²

6.2 Scope 3 Intensity — Head Office

Metric	Value	Unit
Head office Scope 3 emissions	382.75	tCO2e
Total FTE	39	FTE
Scope 3 intensity per FTE	9.81	tCO2e per FTE

6.3 Business Travel and Commuting Intensity

Metric	Value	Unit
Business travel emissions	2.41	tCO2e
Total FTE	39	FTE
Business travel intensity	0.06	tCO2e per FTE
Commuting emissions	75.57	tCO2e
Total FTE	39	FTE
Commuting intensity	1.94	tCO2e per FTE

6.4 Portfolio-Level Intensity

Metric	Value	Unit
Total emissions	390.18	tCO2e
Total FTE	39	FTE
Portfolio intensity (per FTE)	10.00	tCO2e per FTE
Total electricity consumption	4,174.80	kWh
Portfolio intensity (per m²)	0.21	tCO2e/m²

6.5 Recommended Additional Intensity Metrics

To strengthen reporting and enable meaningful year-on-year comparison, Datel Services Limited will collect the following data:

Metric	Data Required	Purpose
tCO2e per FTE	FTE count (already collected)	Normalise emissions by headcount
tCO2e per m²	Floor area (already collected)	Normalise emissions by physical size
tCO2e per £ revenue	Annual revenue	Normalise emissions by business output
tCO2e per £ spend	Total procurement spend	Track supply chain carbon intensity

Note: Intensity metrics will be reported alongside absolute emissions, not instead of them. A falling intensity ratio combined with rising absolute emissions indicates growth is outpacing efficiency gains. Both figures are needed for a complete picture.

7. Reduction Targets

Datel Services Limited commits to the following interim and long-term targets:

Target	Baseline	Target Year	Reduction
Scope 1 and 2 (absolute)	2025	2031	25% reduction
Scope 3 (absolute)	2025	2031	25% reduction
Scope 1 and 2 (interim milestone)	2025	2035	50% reduction
Scope 3 (interim milestone)	2025	2035	50% reduction
Net zero (all scopes)	2025	2050	Net zero

These targets are aligned with the UK’s net zero trajectory. Datel Services Limited will set further interim milestones as part of its next annual review, providing a visible mid-point between the 2031 interim targets and the 2050 net zero commitment.

Where a target is not met, Datel Services Limited will publish a root-cause analysis, a corrective action plan, and a revised trajectory in the following annual CRP. The board-level owner for carbon reduction is accountable for remediation.

7.1 Projected Emissions Trajectory

Year	Projected Emissions (tCO2e)
2025 (Baseline)	390.18
2027	351.16
2029	312.14

Include green clauses in lease agreements where possible
Report emissions separately for Company-controlled versus landlord-supplied consumption
Collaborate on building efficiency improvements as these benefit both parties
Explore joint renewable energy procurement to share costs and benefits

9. Governance and Reporting

Datel Services Limited will:

Assign a senior responsible officer for carbon reduction
Report progress against targets annually
Review and update this CRP annually
Integrate carbon reduction into business planning and decision-making
Engage with clients, suppliers, and employees on carbon reduction
Report intensity metrics alongside absolute emissions to track performance independent of growth
Set 2035 interim milestones at the next annual review, providing a visible mid-point on the trajectory to 2050 net zero
Where a target is missed, publish a root-cause analysis, corrective action plan and revised trajectory in the following annual CRP, with accountability held by the board-level owner for carbon reduction

11. Methodology Notes

Scope 2 emissions are calculated using the location-based method, using the UK grid average emission factor of 0.177 kgCO2e/kWh.
No market-based figure is reported as Datel confirms “No – REGO” for the reporting period.
Scope 3 Categories 1 and 2 use the spend-based method with DEFRA spend-based multipliers.
Scope 3 Categories 5, 6, and 7 use activity-based methods with DEFRA 2025 emission factors.
Air travel emissions are calculated using DEFRA 2025 domestic average passenger factor (0.22928 kg CO2e/mile).
Where the source spreadsheet records activity data as 0.0001, this represents a placeholder for zero activity. Emissions for these lines are reported as 0.00 tCO2e.
Where bus or taxi journeys are shown as “No Data”, this indicates that no activity was recorded during the reporting period. These lines are treated as zero emissions but are distinguished from “Not Applicable due to business process” categories.
Activity data has been converted where necessary to match the unit of the applicable emission factor.
Fugitive emissions are reported as zero; maintenance records show zero leakages.
Scope 1 activity data unit is not specified in the source workbook and should be confirmed for audit traceability.
