[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Training ByteSize is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, in line with UK government targets.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]We are in the process of measuring our baseline carbon emissions, covering:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, and cooling.
• Scope 3: Indirect emissions from supply chain activities, including business travel and employee commuting.

Our initial assessment indicates that the majority of our emissions come from:

• Energy usage in our office spaces
• Business travel (flights, commuting, and accommodation for training sessions)
• Procurement of digital and printed training materials

[vc_column_text]Training ByteSize has set the following targets to reduce our emissions:

• Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030
• Reduce business travel-related emissions by 30% by 2030
• Transition to 100% renewable energy sources for our operations by 2028

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]

[vc_column_text]To achieve these reductions, we are implementing the following measures:

• Energy Efficiency: Upgrading office lighting to LED, optimizing heating and cooling, and improving IT equipment efficiency.
• Renewable Energy: Transitioning to a renewable energy provider for our office and exploring options for carbon-neutral web hosting.
• Sustainable Travel Policies: Encouraging remote training delivery, reducing non-essential travel, and offsetting emissions for necessary flights.
• Sustainable Procurement: Prioritizing suppliers with strong sustainability credentials and reducing printed materials in favour of digital resources.
• Employee Engagement: Promoting carbon-conscious practices among employees, such as carpooling, remote work, and sustainable commuting.
