Commitment to Achieving Net Zero
DBaaS LTD is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

Furthermore, through our Carbon Reduction Plan we are targeting to achieve net zero emissions by 2045, five years ahead of the national target. Scope 1 emissions, arising from our electricity consumption in offices and data centers, currently account for 65% of our total in-scope emissions. Progress toward our long-term targets will therefore depend largely on transitioning to renewable energy sources and optimizing our technology infrastructure.

Further reductions across all three emission scopes will be supported by wider national decarbonization measures, regulatory changes and evolving industry practices. They will also require us to strengthen engagement with suppliers, cloud service providers and staff while developing supply chain and operational policies that embed sustainability.

Since establishing our baseline year of 2022-23, we have already advanced a range of carbon reduction initiatives. We remain confident that continued business growth can be achieved without proportional increases in emissions through strategic investment in clean technologies and sustainable operational practices.

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: 1st April 2022 - 31st March 2023
Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations:

We have conducted a comprehensive audit of all included scope emissions from this baseline year to establish a complete picture of our business-as-usual operations. Our calculations are based on the Operational Control approach, covering all UK operations under DBaaS LTD's direct management. This represents our first formal carbon assessment, establishing the foundation for future emissions tracking and reduction initiatives. Data collection included energy bills, travel records, commuting surveys and waste management reports

Note: The increase in emissions reflects business growth, with a 40% increase in staff headcount and expanded data center capacity to serve our growing client base.

Emissions Reduction Targets

In order to continue our progress toward achieving net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:

Our Business as Usual (BAU) projections indicate that, without intervention, carbon emissions would rise to 385 tCO2e by FY 2029-30, representing a 29% increase compared to the current reporting year, primarily due to anticipated business growth and increased data processing requirements.

Our strategy is structured around a comprehensive three-phase Carbon Reduction Plan, culminating in the achievement of net zero emissions by 2045 at the latest. We aim to minimize emissions as far as possible by 2045, after which we will offset any residual emissions to ensure our carbon footprint is zero from 2045 through to 2050.


Specific targets:
  •   2027: Reduce emissions to 225 tCO2e (25% reduction from current levels)
  •   2030: Reduce emissions to 150 tCO2e (50% reduction from current levels)
  •   2035: Reduce emissions to 75 tCO2e (75% reduction from current levels)
  •   2045: Achieve net zero emissions
  •   2050: Maintain net zero emissions (legal requirement)

  • Taking our planned reduction measures into account, we forecast that emissions will fall to 195 tCO2e by FY 2029-30. This represents a 35% reduction against the current reporting year and a 49% reduction against the BAU trajectory.

    Carbon Reduction Projects
    Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

    The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2022-23 baseline. Since 2020-21, we have been actively generating reports and working to reduce our carbon footprint. Our new travel policy now requires line manager approval for all travel costs over £75, helping to minimize the environmental impact of our company's remote operations. We've also replaced older, inefficient laptops with new models, a step projected to generate significant energy savings in the coming years. By conducting these assessments annually, we can continually identify and address key emissions hotspots.

    The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equates to 15.3 tCO2e annually, representing a 6.1% reduction against potential emissions. These measures will remain in effect when performing contracts:
