1. Introduction and Commitment

Calton Systems Limited is committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in line with the UK Government’s climate targets and public procurement policy. We understand our role in supporting a low-carbon economy and will embed sustainability across our operations, services, and supply chain.

2. Baseline Emissions Footprint

We are currently establishing a comprehensive baseline for our greenhouse gas emissions using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Our baseline year is 2024, and we are capturing data across:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions (e.g., company vehicles)

• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity

• Scope 3: Indirect emissions (e.g., travel, waste, procurement)

We will publish full emissions data in our next update (due July 2026), following data verification.

3. Emissions Reduction Targets

Calton Systems Limited has set the following targets to reach net zero by 2050:

• By 2030: 50% reduction in emissions vs 2024 baseline

• By 2040: 75% reduction

• By 2050: Achieve net zero (across Scopes 1, 2, and 3)
