Commitment to achieving Net Zero
We are 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: 2023-24 | |

| As a services-based organisation which rents managed office space Scopes 1 and 2 are not applicable. Data for Scope 3 is for commuting and business travel (and overnight stays) sub-scopes. Emissions have been calculated using internal reporting of journey mileages /nights stayed and applicable rates from UK Government data ghg-conversion-factors-2023-full-file-update.xlsx Upstream transportation and distribution is calculated using an estimate of our energy use across our offices and applicable rates from UK Government data ghg-conversion-factors-2023-full-fileupdate.xlsx. It does not include emissions under downstream transportation/distribution nor waste generation. This is because we are a consultancy and manufacture no carbon-generating product. |

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 84.39 tCO2e by 2029. This is a reduction of just under 10%.
We have reduced our travel emissions in the last year. We have not yet adjusted our target as this fluctuation is in part due to changing clients which drives different business travel requirements.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects will be implemented and will be in effect when performing the contract.
- DAS is a ISO14001 certified organisation and we continue to manage and externally audit all operations in line with this certification
- DAS participates in a certified carbon offsetting scheme. This has run from 2021 when we engaged with Ecologi who provided us with a tailored offset programme. In this reporting year we offset 224.04tCO2e.
- An office move has occurred, continuing our aim to occupy greener premises in town centre locations.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
- Continued promulgation of the DAS business travel policy to encourage green modes of transport which should be considered when travelling for business. This is balanced with our duty of care and health and safety obligations to our colleagues and will be reviewed and communicated on a quarterly basis.
- Minimise our impact through continued encouragement of public transport or greener transport options when travelling for business including commuting
- As our rental agreements come for renewal we will consider office space in central locations to facilitate easy access and commuting by public transport.
- Employment of staff closer to major clients to reduce miles travelled (where feasible)
- Whole company meeting will be situated in central locations within short distances
- from railway stations to facilitate greener travel options.
- Continued participation in the certified carbon offsetting scheme.
