Carbon Reduction Plan

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.

ASL has achieved a 74683Kg reduction in CO2. The move to renewable energy and the consolidation of sites, reduced our Scope 2 emissions by a significant 83%. By updating the majority of our fleet to electric vehicles, this has further reduced our Scope 2 emissions and is expected to fall as we continue to replace our fleet.

Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

In order to progress to achieving Net Zero, we continue to adopt carbon reduction targets and project that our carbon emissions will continue to decrease to 160 tCO2e by 2028.

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(1), and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting(1).

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(1).

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