In 2023, our total gross emissions decreased by
13% to 400 tCO₂e compared to 462 in 2022:
• Our emissions from purchased electricity have
reduced by 44%. This is partly due to less office
space occupied at the Shipley office and the
closure of the Glasgow office at the end of
July. Both the Brighton Horizon Centre and
the Shipley office used renewable electricity
which has further reduced the emissions from
purchased electricity from 77 tCO₂e to 54 tCO₂e.
• Emissions from transport for car allowance
drivers have decreased by 8% from 112 tCO₂e to
103 tCO₂e. This is likely due to a decrease in the
total mileage as 26,424 less miles were travelled
in 2023.
• Emissions from private car mileage and hire cars
have increased by 27% from 30.5 tCO₂e to 38.7
tCO₂e.

Streamlined energy and carbon reporting
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a set of regulations that requires some companies in the
UK to disclose their energy and carbon emissions, including electricity, gas and transport. In line with the
Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations
2018, our energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are set out below.
= Increase = Decrease
* In a positive step we have purchased 35% more renewable electricity
