Commitment to achieving net zero
esynergy Solutions Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 at the latest, with an ambition to achieve this substantially earlier.
esynergy is committed to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions arising from its operations through effective environmental management, responsible working and travel practices, improved emissions measurement and targeted carbon reduction initiatives.
Alongside reducing our underlying emissions, esynergy supports external climate action through investment in carbon avoidance, carbon removal, reforestation and habitat restoration projects.
During the 2024/25 reporting period, the carbon avoidance and removal funded by esynergy substantially exceeded our measured organisational greenhouse gas emissions.
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.

esynergy first established its organisational carbon footprint for the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022. This remains the historic baseline used for Carbon Reduction Plan reporting. The baseline period was affected by COVID-19, which continued to influence normal business operations, including office attendance, business travel and hotel stays. esynergy also operated from different office premises and had a materially smaller permanent workforce of approximately 37 employees, compared with 59 employees in 2024/25. Following the easing of COVID restrictions, esynergy’s operations returned to a more normal working pattern and business travel increased. Subsequent carbon assessments also benefited from improvements in the quality and completeness of Scope 3 emissions data. These factors affect direct comparison with the historic baseline. esynergy therefore considers absolute emissions alongside year-on-year performance and emissions intensity in assessing progress. |
| Baseline year emissions: | |
|---|---|
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | 0.3 |
| Scope 2 | 23.8 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 29.1 |
| Total emissions | 53.2 |
Current emissions reporting
| Reporting year: 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | 0.0 |
| Scope 2 | 0.4 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 83.3 |
| Total emissions | 83.7 |
esynergy’s current Carbon Reduction Plan footprint reflects a significantly larger organisation than at the historic baseline, with permanent headcount increasing from approximately 37 employees to 59 employees.
Current CRP emissions equate to approximately 1.42 tCO2e per employee, compared with approximately 1.43 tCO2e per employee in the 2021/22 baseline period. Emissions intensity per employee has therefore remained broadly stable despite substantial organisational growth and the return to normal post-COVID business activity.
CRP-reportable emissions also reduced from approximately 98.7 tCO2e in 2023/24 to 83.7 tCO2e in 2024/25, representing a year-on-year reduction of approximately 15.2%.
Business travel represented the largest source of emissions during 2024/25 and remains a priority area for future carbon management.
Scope 3 included sources
| Required Scope 3 category | 2024/25 |
|---|---|
| Business travel | 61.6 tCO2e |
| Employee commuting | 17.9 tCO2e |
| Waste generated in operations | 3.8 tCO2e |
| Upstream transportation and distribution | 0.0 tCO2e |
| Downstream transportation and distribution | 0.0 tCO2e |
| Total | 83.3 tCO2e |
esynergy is an office-based technology consultancy and does not manufacture or distribute physical products. Upstream and downstream transportation and distribution are therefore not material emissions sources within our operating model.
Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress towards achieving Net Zero, esynergy has adopted a target to reduce its Carbon Reduction Plan reportable emissions to 75 tCO2e or less by 2031. This represents a reduction of approximately 10% from the 2024/25 reporting position.
This target will be reviewed annually taking account of organisational growth, business activity, travel patterns and improvements in emissions data. esynergy will seek to achieve further reductions wherever operationally practicable.
esynergy will seek to achieve further reductions wherever operationally practicable and will review this target annually as emissions data quality, business activity and travel patterns develop.
Business travel is currently the largest contributor to esynergy’s Carbon Reduction Plan footprint and will therefore be a particular focus of emissions management and reduction activity.
esynergy remains committed to reducing absolute emissions over time while also improving emissions intensity as the organisation grows.
Carbon reduction projects
Completed carbon reduction initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2021/22 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes cannot be stated as a net reduction against the 2021/22 baseline because absolute reported emissions in 2024/25 remain above that historic baseline. The baseline was established during a COVID-affected period when esynergy had a materially smaller workforce and lower levels of normal business travel and office activity. The measures listed below will remain in effect when performing the contract.
Since the 2021/22 baseline, esynergy has:
- achieved ISO 14001 certification for its Environmental Management System;
- maintained an operating model with no company-owned vehicle fleet;
- introduced an electric vehicle salary-sacrifice scheme for employees;
- continued a hybrid working model, reducing the need for daily commuting and full-time office occupancy;
- made extensive use of virtual meetings and collaboration tools to reduce unnecessary travel;
- prioritised rail travel where operationally practical;
- relocated to more modern office accommodation with improved energy efficiency compared with the previous premises;
- substantially reduced printing and paper use through digital working and limited central printing facilities;
- replaced bottled drinking water with filtered drinking water facilities;
- provided recycling facilities and ensured WEEE is appropriately collected and disposed of;
- improved the collection and analysis of business travel, employee commuting, waste and other Scope 3 emissions data;
- embedded environmental risks, objectives and performance monitoring within esynergy’s Integrated Management System; and
- introduced environmental awareness training and communications for employees.
Absolute emissions remain above the historic 2021/22 baseline. However, that baseline was established during a COVID-affected period when esynergy had a materially smaller workforce and substantially lower levels of normal business activity and travel.
On an emissions-intensity basis, 2024/25 emissions per employee remain broadly comparable with the historic baseline. In addition, CRP-reportable emissions reduced by approximately 15.2% compared with 2023/24.
esynergy’s objective is to continue reducing absolute emissions over time while progressively decoupling organisational growth from growth in greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate action
Alongside direct emissions reduction, esynergy supports external climate action through Ecologi. During the reporting period 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025, esynergy funded:
- 321.35 tCO2e of carbon avoidance;
- 2.21 tCO2e of carbon removal; and
- 2,096 trees through supported reforestation activity.
Combined funded carbon avoidance and removal amounted to 323.56 tCO2e, substantially exceeding esynergy’s measured organisational greenhouse gas emissions during the reporting period.
These contributions are reported separately from esynergy’s gross greenhouse gas emissions and are not deducted from the emissions figures stated in this Carbon Reduction Plan. esynergy continues to prioritise reduction of its underlying operational emissions while supporting credible climate action beyond its organisational boundary.
Future carbon reduction initiatives
esynergy will continue to develop and implement measures designed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and support achievement of its Net Zero commitment.
Planned areas of focus include:
- strengthening monitoring and management of business travel, particularly air travel;
- considering carbon impact when planning significant company travel and events;
- increasing use of rail, virtual meetings and other lower-carbon alternatives where operationally practical;
- improving travel booking and expense data to enable more accurate and timely measurement of emissions;
- maintaining a hybrid working model while monitoring the balance between commuting, homeworking and office-related emissions;
- encouraging increased adoption of lower-emission transport options, including the employee electric vehicle scheme;
- working with building management to obtain improved tenant-specific electricity, water and waste information;
- continuing to reduce office consumables, paper use and waste;
- improving measurement and engagement across Scope 3 supply-chain emissions;
- continuing environmental awareness and engagement activities for employees;
- reviewing carbon performance and reduction objectives at least annually through esynergy’s environmental management arrangements; and
- continuing to support credible carbon avoidance, carbon removal, reforestation and habitat restoration projects alongside direct emissions reduction.
