Introduction 

At Ballicom Limited, we are deeply committed to addressing the pressing challenges of climate change by actively reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Our goal is to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2030, ensuring that any carbon emissions we produce are fully offset by initiatives that remove carbon from the atmosphere, such as reforestation and advanced carbon capture technologies. 

To reach this ambitious target, we have developed a comprehensive Carbon Reduction Plan that outlines specific actions and targets across our operations, supply chain, and product offerings. This plan focuses on reducing emissions at every stage of our business, from energy use in our facilities to the sustainability of the products we sell. We will also invest in high-quality carbon offset projects to compensate for any residual emissions that cannot be eliminated. 

Achieving this significant reduction in emissions will require the collective effort of our entire company. We are committed to regularly measuring, reporting, and refining our progress toward our carbon reduction goals. By taking decisive action, we aim not only to minimise our environmental impact but also to inspire others in our industry to follow suit and contribute to a more sustainable future for all. 

Commitment to achieving Net Zero 

Ballicom Limited is fully committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2030, reflecting our dedication to sustainability and responsible business practices. We recognise the urgent need to address climate change, and our goal is to eliminate or offset all carbon emissions from our operations, supply chain, and products. 

To meet this ambitious target, we are implementing a comprehensive Carbon Reduction Plan that includes transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and prioritising sustainable sourcing. We will also invest in credible carbon offset projects, such as reforestation and carbon capture technologies, to neutralise any remaining emissions. Ballicom’s core Tier 1 OEM, are constantly monitoring their Carbon offsetting in impactful ways – by reviewing emissions, from fuel use, electricity, supply chains and travel in their manufacturing activities. 

Our commitment extends beyond compliance; it is a fundamental part of our business strategy. We will regularly monitor, report, and adjust our actions to ensure we stay on track to reach Net Zero by 2030. Through these efforts, we aim to lead by example and contribute to a more sustainable future for our industry and society. 

Baseline Emissions Footprint for 1^st Jan – 31^st Dec 2023 

Ballicom Limited’s baseline emissions footprint for the year 2023 serves as the foundation for our commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2030. During this baseline year, our total carbon emissions amounted to 12.0032 tCO₂e, encompassing both direct and indirect emissions across our operations. 

• Scope 1 Emissions: 
  We recorded 0.0000 tCO₂e under Scope 1, as we have no identifiable sources of direct emissions from fuel combustion, company-owned vehicles, or on-site processes. 
• Scope 2 Emissions: 
  Our Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, in total 0.018 tCO₂e. This reflects our reliance on grid electricity to power our facilities and highlights the importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources to reduce our carbon footprint. 
• Scope 3 Emissions: 
  The majority of our emissions, 11.9663 tCO₂e, fall under Scope 3, which includes: 
• Staff Commuting to Work: Emissions from employees traveling to and from our office. 
• Staff Commuting to Customer Sites: Emissions related to business travel. 
• Upstream Packages: Emissions associated with the transportation and delivery of products and materials from suppliers. 
• Downstream Packages: Emissions from the transportation of goods to customers. 
• Work From Home: Emissions generated by employees working remotely. 

This baseline provides a clear picture of where our emissions originate and will guide our efforts as we implement our Carbon Reduction Plan to meet our Net Zero target by 2030. 

Current Emissions Reporting 

Emissions reduction targets 

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets. 

There has been an increase in emissions in the year 2022 as the UK came out of the lockdown and our business went into normal operations of serving from the office and servicing clients. Although an increased activity means an increase in emissions, we have started studying and implementing remote help procedures to reduce visits to clients, which is a major contributor to our emissions. We have now introduced Teams for meetings and secured remote connections for online technical help. We estimate this will reduce our visits or journeys to clients by at least 80%. 

Moreover, offering and incentivising staff by encouraging the use of public transport for office journeys. This past year there has been an uplift in travelling due to vendor conferences being presented internationally. 

Introduce recyclable schemes within the office for waste and addressing quarterly on these numbers. 

Reducing and completely controlling printing of documents to ensure no paper wastage.  

Ensuring these are included in our staff policies and adequate training provided to the staff on recycling and emissions. 

Carbon Reduction Initiatives 

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2023 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract 

Ongoing Carbon Reduction Initiatives 

The following have been implemented and are ongoing: 

• Travel mileage reduction such that home and hybrid working is supported where practical to reduce travel. We currently have 7 colleagues WFH and we embrace homeworking contracts. 
• Senior Management have been offered electric cars and onsite charging points. 
• Awareness-raising where environmental awareness training is being delivered. 
• Cycle to work scheme  
• Continued procurement of energy supplies from renewable sources. 
• Continued decarbonisation of heating systems. 
• Increased reuse and recycling of consumables. 
• Rationalisation of operational activity and infrastructure spaces. 
• Review of available operational activity-based greenhouse gas datasets and move towards improved data quality. 

Ballicom achieved ISO14001 Certification, in early 2025 and will be committing to the Woodland Trust. The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2023 baseline: 

• Office Lighting – Automatic movement sensor lighting installed. 
• Use of office electrical equipment e.g., copiers, printers, PCs, kitchen equipment – Employee awareness of personal control measures. Copiers/printers automatically go into sleep mode when not in use. Other office equipment switched off after use. 
• Hot water – Use of energy efficient water heater in kitchens (point-of-use boiler). Regularly serviced and descaled. Regular weekly monitoring. 

Our supplier assessment will also be consistent with our vision for achieving Carbon reduction and we will, on an annual basis assess their supply chain and their activities, to ensure they are in synergy with our goals. 

Declaration and Sign Off 

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 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 standard¹ and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting². 

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) Standard³. 

• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy 
• Scope 3: Indirect emissions from the value chain 
• Category 3. Fuel and energy related activities (optional) 
• Category 4. Upstream transportation and distribution 
• Category 5. Waste generated in operation 
• Category 6. Business travel 
• Category 7. Employee commuting 
• Category 9. Downstream transportation and distribution 

The slight increase in Scope 3 emissions, is seen as an anomaly, due to international vendor conferences, post COVID, we envisage Scope 3 emissions to decrease year on year, going forward. 

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
