Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Reliance High Tech Ltd 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 future emissions reduction can be set.
| Baseline Year: 2020 | |
| Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. | |
| The baseline reporting is from 2020 which will be heavily influenced by COVID restrictions. The calculation is based upon our Co2 from our fleet and power usage at our offices. We also capture water consumption as part of our environmental reporting, but this is not included in the Net Zero calculations | |
| Baseline year emissions: | |
| EMISSIONS | TOTAL (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | 270 |
| Scope 2 | 87 |
| Scope 3(Included Sources) | Not currently measured. |
| Total Emissions | 357 |
Current Emissions Reporting
| Reporting Year: 2025-2026 | |
| EMISSIONS | TOTAL (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | 299 |
| Scope 2 | 58 |
| Scope 3 (Included Sources) |
Not currently measured. We shall measure: 6. Business Travel Emissions (non-fleet as that is captured in Scope 1), 4. Upstream transportation and distribution and 9. Downstream transportation and distribution 1st April 2028 We are intending to measure 7. Employee commuting from 1st April 2028 We are intending to measure 5. Waste generated in operations 1st April 2028 The reasons for this phased approach are many. The primary one being the ability to measure and as an SME the commercial costs of implementation of such systems. 6. Business Travel. Our proposed expense tracking system has not been implemented due to software constraints. We are reviewing revised options – in 2026 4 + 9 is currently unable to be captured Employee commuting is targeted for 2028. We will need to consult with employees in order to capture this data. With the above projects taking priority, we have limited resources to implement this in the timeframe 5. Operational waste. Aspirational target for 2028. We would like assistance to understand how this can be captured and what tools are available. |
| Total Emissions | 357 |
Emissions Reduction Targets
We have rebased our carbon plans to account for the unplanned reductions in emissions in 2020/2021 due to COVID restrictions. In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
Scope 1 total emissions have increased due to volumes within our fleet, reflecting the growth in the business. Co2 emissions per vehicle have dropped and continue to fall and our commitment to electric vehicles continues as we migrate the fleet. Scope 2 emissions have fallen.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the remeasured 2020 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 93 tCO2e, a 20.6% reduction against the remeasured 2020 baseline. This is against a background of business growth of over 50%.
We hold ISO14001 Gold certification and operate an Integrated Management System. The business is committed to reducing its environmental impact as far as it possibly can and have reduced consumption across the estate.
The entire Board of Directors have swapped to electric vehicles, and we are encouraging our “grey” fleet (those with car allowances) to convert to electric where possible. Our main fleet of vans are unable to go electric as yet due to practical constraints. We replaced all of our fleet between FY23-25 to more fuel-efficient vehicles and these are showing a reduction of CO2 per vehicle. Business growth however is pushing the total value up as we have increased our total business by over 20% in year.
We continue to promote the usage of cloud-based technologies to our customer base. This reduces environmental impact by reducing the manufacturing costs of equipment, the distribution and installation thereof and also allows remote access, thereby minimising the environmental impact of engineer visits.
In July 2024, we took a significant step towards environmental sustainability by relocating our head office in Bracknell to a new, energy-efficient building. We are planning to install solar panels to further reduce our carbon footprint and lower energy consumption. Additionally, we have invested in electric vehicle charging stations at both our Bracknell and Manchester offices, promoting cleaner transportation for our employees and visitors.
Both our offices in Bracknell and Manchester operate on 100% green energy sources, with our Pontefract office being subject to landlord constraints for electricity suppliers.
The implementation of our new service dispatch platform in 2025 promotes the most environmentally friendly routes to customer sites.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
The target is that within 5 years, assuming that the technology has progressed sufficiently, our entire fleet will be electric.
That by 2027 50% of our service calls can be done remotely, reducing travel.
By 2027, working with our landlords, all electricity is sourced sustainably.
Carbon offsetting will be in place where we are unable to have zero emissions.
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 standard and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.
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) Standard.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors.
