Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Fischer Carlsen is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.

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 emissions reduction can be measured.

Baseline Year: 2023
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
Fischer Carlsen will be using 2023 as its first reporting period baseline. The methodology for measuring our carbon footprint is line with Carbon Trust’s SME Carbon Footprint Calculator.

Emissions reduction targets

Fischer Carlsen had no previous emissions reduction commitment.

Fischer Carlsen anticipate a 50% increase in Carbon emissions in 2024 due to company growth.

To continue our progress to achieving Net Zero since the base year of 2023, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 50 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 37%.

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Fischer Carlsen will be implementing various reduction strategies to control emissions when servicing both public and private sector contracts.

The main increase for 2024 and beyond, will be based on international recruitment activity, which falls under Scope 3.

The leadership team have already identified key areas where the increase in international travel can be offset by various efficiency measures:

• Conducting interviews predominately through virtual platforms.
• Consolidating recruitment efforts internationally.
• Grouping the transition process for candidates relocating within the U.K. healthcare system.
• Utilising automation and technological solutions for managing stakeholder relationships.
• Achieving ISO 140001 to further minimize waste.

Additional strategies for enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions:

• Promoting flexible work arrangements to decrease travel needs for business and commuting.
• Establishing yearly assessments to discover fresh approaches to emissions reduction.
• Improving the Carbon reduction system to better track emission reduction.
• Collaborating with property managers to update infrastructure and cut energy consumption.

Future Implementations

• Investing in more power-saving office and technological equipment, opting for refurbished items where possible.
• Increasing the use of recycled materials for office furnishings.
