Organisation Details
1) Commitment to Net Zero
Caredom Healthcare Ltd is a small but growing health and social care provider. We are committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 31 December 2040, in line with UK Government policy and the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap.
Our approach focuses on practical, proportionate actions suitable for a small organisation, with steady annual progress through digitalisation, efficient energy use, and sustainable procurement.
2) Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline Year: 2024 (first year of reporting)
| Scope | Description | tCO₂e |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | Direct emissions (company vehicles, on-site fuel use) | 2.1 |
| Scope 2 | Indirect emissions from purchased electricity | 1.4 |
| Scope 3 | Indirect emissions (staff travel, waste, purchased goods & services, commuting) | 6.5 |
| Total (Baseline) | 10.0 tCO₂e | |
Figures based on internal operational estimates and UK Government conversion factors for small business energy and mileage consumption.
3) Current Emissions (2025 Reporting Year)
| Scope | tCO₂e |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 2.0 |
| Scope 2 | 1.3 |
| Scope 3 | 6.2 |
| Total 2025 | 9.5 tCO₂e |
This reflects a 5% reduction from our baseline year, achieved primarily through reduced office energy use, remote working, and increased use of virtual meetings.
