D2 is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2035 and carbon negative by 2050.
D2 is a growing SME that has never previously assessed or reported emissions. Based on the available data, 2020 emissions were regarded as the baseline year emissions, against which future emission reductions can be measured. In 2020, D2 will have two offices on two different floors of the same building.
| Baseline Year: Jan 2020 |
| Baseline year emissions: |
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1: Covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources | 0 |
| Scope 2: Covers indirect emissions generated due to purchased electricity | 3.782 |
| Scope 3: Includes all other emissions included in the business value chain: Waste recycling, Business Travel, commuting of employees | 1.339 |
| Total Emissions | 5.121 |
D2 operates from an office and provides project management services; as a result, scope 1 emissions are zero. The company has no facilities, equipment, or vehicles that emit greenhouse gases because of the combustion of fossil fuels.
In 2020, D2 had two offices that accounted for a total consumption of 16,224Kwh, contributing to a total carbon emission of 3.782tCo2e for the year.
D2 provided services from the office until March 2020, when it was compelled to close due to Covid. Scope 3 emissions, which include employee commuting to work, business travel, and waste generation, were estimated to be 1.339tCo2e. D2 did not transport or distribute carbon-emitting products or services.
D2 relocated to the new office in November 2022 due to the expansion of its teams, while passively maintaining the other two offices whilst preparing to officially close them, resulting in a single office of operation.
| Reporting Year: 2022 |
| Baseline year emissions: 5.121 |
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1: Covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources | 0 |
| Scope 2: Covers indirect emissions generated due to purchased electricity | 3.590 |
| Scope 3: Includes all other emissions included in the business value chain: Waste recycling, Business Travel, commuting of employees | 25.542 |
| Total Emissions | 29.312 |
D2 operated as an office-based firm in 2022 as well and does not own any facilities, machinery, or vehicles that emit greenhouse gases from the combustion of fossil fuels, so scope 1 emissions are zero.
The electricity consumption for the year 2022 in the D2 new office is recorded as 1740 Kwh. The combined electricity consumption of other 2 offices were recorded as 17696Kwh. The 50% of the electricity consumed from new office was generated from renewable sources. This gives a total energy consumption of 18566Kwh and with 2022 GHG conversion factor (0.19338) produces 3.590tCo2e
D2 nearly doubled in size in terms of the number of employees and nearly tripled in terms of services that it provides. D2 operated from the office for the entire year of 2022 compared to 3 months of its operation in 2020, hence the carbon emissions spiked to 6 times. For the year 2022, the scope 3 emissions from employee commuting, business travel, and waste generation were calculated to be 25.542tCo2e. D2 did not transport or distribute carbon-emitting products or services in 2022.
D2 was committed to reduce emissions in 2020, but this was the first time it calculated its carbon footprint. Even though the amount of carbon emissions has increased significantly due to the relaxation of pandemic restrictions and the expansion of its operations. D2 believes and strives to achieve its commitment of net zero by 2035 and is taking every possible measure to become carbon negative by 2050.
The graph below depicts current and predicted progress toward the UK net zero strategy’s targets:
The following environmental management measures and projects are in varying levels of commission. The carbon emission reduction that are expected to achieve by these schemes equate to Zero tCO2e, a 100% reduction against the 2020 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.
The following carbon reduction goals have been adopted as part of our ongoing effort to reach Net Zero.
D2 would expand on these measures to meet its commitment of net zero emissions by 2035:

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.
Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard1 and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting2.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR
requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard3.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
