1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

Silwood Facilities Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions for its UK operations by 2050, in line with the UK Government’s decarbonisation strategy.

​

2. Baseline Emissions Footprint

 

Silwood Facilities Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. We have established 2024 as our baseline year and will publish our first full emissions report in 2025, covering data for the 2024 calendar year. All future reductions and progress will be measured against this baseline.

​

Baseline Year: 2024

Reporting Year: 2025

Silwood Facilities Ltd is in the process of collecting data for Scope 1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 categories. These will be calculated using UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting and aligned with the GHG Protocol.

​

Emissions Scope       Description                                                                        2024 (tCO₂e)

Scope 1                     Direct emissions from company vehicles and fuel            304.6

Scope 2                     Indirect emissions from electricity consumption                9.1

Scope 3 (subset)      Business travel, commuting, waste, transport                   2473.2

Total                                                                                                                     2786.9

​

3. Current Emissions Reporting

Emissions data for 2024 is currently being compiled and will be published within six months of the financial year-end and updated annually thereafter.

Assumptions and Exclusions:

Purchased goods and services and capital goods emissions have been estimated using spend-based factors. This means that the results are based on industry averages per £ spent and not specific supplier/product/mode date.

Weights and distances have been used to calculate upstream and downstream transportation and distribution. This represents an improvement in methodologies on previous measurements where it was not possible to obtain weight data.

​

4. Emissions Reduction Targets

Silwood Facilities Ltd has adopted the following targets in line with its 2050 Net Zero commitment:
- Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% by 2030 (from 2024 baseline)
- Reduce total reportable emissions (Scope 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3) by 50% by 2040
- Achieve Net Zero by 2050

Progress against these targets will be monitored annually via audit and reviewed at Management meetings alongside IS14001 criteria.

​

5. Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Silwood Facilities Ltd has already implemented, or plans to implement, the following initiatives to reduce emissions:
- Transitioning to electric or hybrid vehicles for fleet operations
- Use of renewable electricity through green tariffs or direct procurement
- Upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting across modular units and facilities
- Installing smart controls and timers to reduce energy waste
- Increasing recycling and circular waste management on job sites
- Remote site monitoring to reduce travel emissions
- Encouraging low-carbon commuting (bike-to-work schemes, public transport)
- Supply chain engagement to source lower-carbon materials and services
- Sustainability training for staff and subcontractors
