Carbon Reduction Plan



Corus Consultancy Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP)

Prepared in accordance with PPN 06/21

Reporting Year: 1 October 2024 - 30 September 2025

Executive Summary

Corus Consultancy is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in line with PPN 06/21 and UK Government strategy. This plan represents Corus Consultancy's operational footprint as a recruitment and workforce solutions provider based in London operating within an office-based environment supported by digital-first systems.

Emissions calculations use DEFRA 2024 factors.

Where exact data is unavailable-commuting patterns, logistics distances, certain SaaS/hosting emissions-transparent estimates have been applied.

Total baseline emissions (2024-25): ~33.04 tCO2e:

  • Scope 1: 0
  • Scope 2: 3.22
  • Scope 3: ~29.82 (several estimated categories)

Corus has already implemented actions across digitalisation, waste segregation, sustainable procurement, and energy behaviour change. Additional actions include renewable electricity transition (by 2026), cloud optimisation, carbon literacy training, responsible procurement, and enhanced quarterly monitoring. The CRP will be hosted at https://www.corusconsultancy.com/carbon

Electricity use: 14,292 kWh x 0.22535 kgCO2e/kWh = 3.22 tCO2e.

Scope 3: ~29.82 tCO2e (includes estimates)

Breakdown:

  • Rail: 0.14
  • Taxi: 0.01
  • Grey fleet: 0.34
  • Commuting: 6.8
  • Waste streams total: 0.81
  • SaaS: 13.38
  • Hosting: 4.09
  • Professional services: 2.85
  • Office supplies: 0.95
  • Supplier deliveries: 0.75 (estimate-requires tonne-km data)

Total baseline emissions: 33.04 tCO2e.

Current Year Emissions (Hybrid Method)

Current-year emissions match the baseline as this is Corus Consultancy's first reporting year under PPN 06/21.

Scope - Emissions (tCO2e) - Notes
