Robert Lawson & Sons (Scotland) Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

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: 2024

Additional Details Relating to the Baseline Emissions Calculations:
The baseline emissions have been calculated using a combination of actual energy expenditure and estimated fuel consumption.

The company operates a fleet of four vans (two diesel and two petrol hybrid), each averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year, in addition to one electric van. Vehicle emissions have been calculated based on mileage and typical fuel efficiency.

Electricity and gas consumption have been derived from annual energy costs and typical UK unit rates to estimate total kWh usage. The workshop premises utilise LED lighting throughout and gas boilers for heating.

Scope 1 emissions include fuel used in company vehicles and gas used for heating. Scope 2 emissions include purchased electricity and electric vehicle charging. Scope 3 emissions include a conservative estimate of employee commuting.

All emissions have been calculated using UK Government greenhouse gas conversion factors.

Baseline Year Emissions

• Scope 1: 15.80 tCO2e
• Scope 2: 1.93 tCO2e
• Scope 3 (included sources): 3.00 tCO2e
• Total Emissions: 20.73 tCO2e

Reporting Year: 2024

• Scope 1: 15.80 tCO2e
• Scope 2: 1.93 tCO2e
• Scope 3 (included sources): 3.00 tCO2e
• Total Emissions: 20.73 tCO2e

To progress toward Net Zero, the company has adopted the following targets:

• Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 20% by 2030
• Reduce overall emissions by 50% by 2040
• Achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050

Progress will be reviewed annually.

The following measures have been completed or are planned:

• Transition towards low-emission and electric vehicles
• Route optimisation to reduce fuel consumption and mileage
• Use of LED lighting throughout workshop premises
• Monitoring and reduction of gas consumption through improved insulation and heating efficiency
• Evaluation of low-carbon heating alternatives
• Investigation into renewable energy solutions such as solar PV
• Reduction of operational waste and increased recycling
• Consideration of sustainable materials in vehicle conversion processes

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standards.

Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with UK Government environmental reporting guidelines.

This plan has been reviewed and approved by senior management.
