Robert Lawson & Sons (Scotland) Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero 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 six vehicles consisting of two petrol vehicles, three petrol hybrid vehicles, and one battery electric vehicle, each averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Vehicle emissions have been calculated based on mileage and UK Government greenhouse gas conversion factors.

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.

Scope 1: 15.10 tCO2e
Scope 2: 1.93 tCO2e
Scope 3: 3.00 tCO2e

Total emissions: 20.03 tCO2e

Reporting Year: 2024

Scope 1: 15.10 tCO2e
Scope 2: 1.93 tCO2e
Scope 3: 3.00 tCO2e

Total emissions: 20.03 tCO2e

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

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 16.62 tCO2e by 2030, representing a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from the 2024 baseline.

Progress against these targets can be seen in the projected trajectory below:

• 2024: 20.03 tCO2e
• 2030: 16.62 tCO2e
• 2040: 10.02 tCO2e
• 2050: 0.00 tCO2e

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2024 baseline. As this is the first reporting year, quantified reductions are not yet available; however, these measures form the foundation of future emissions reductions and will be in effect when performing the contract:

• Use of LED lighting throughout workshop premises
• Initial transition towards low-emission and electric vehicles
• Route optimisation to reduce fuel consumption and mileage

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

• Continued transition to low-emission and electric vehicles
• Monitoring and reduction of gas consumption through improved insulation and heating efficiency
• Evaluation of low-carbon heating alternatives
• Reduction of operational waste and increased recycling
• Consideration of sustainable materials in vehicle conversion processes
• Investigation into renewable energy solutions to reduce reliance on grid electricity
• Assessment of solar photovoltaic (PV) installation across the workshop roof

Based on the total workshop floor area of approximately 8,000 m², a feasibility assessment indicates that around 2,800 m² of usable roof space could potentially support up to approximately 450 kWp of installed solar capacity, subject to structural and grid constraints.

A system of this scale could generate approximately 400,000 kWh of electricity per year, resulting in a potential carbon saving of around 80 tCO2e annually, significantly reducing Scope 2 emissions and supporting progress toward Net Zero.

A phased installation approach is most likely, subject to technical and financial feasibility.

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standards 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, using 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 has been reported in accordance with the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.

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