Carbon Reduction Plan

Publication date: January 2023

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Blue Door Software Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

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.

Baseline Year: 2022

Emissions reduction targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 1.5 tCO₂e by 2027. This is a reduction of 25%

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2023 baseline.

Purchase of a fully electric company car, replacing a diesel model
Installation of LED lighting controls
Cessation of air conditioned office space

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as reduced travel by road, sea or air and even greater use of remote meeting tools such as Zoom and Teams, particularly for internal meetings.
