    Commitment to net zero

    CyberSafe Coach Plus Ltd is committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2040, ten years ahead of the UK's legal 2050 target.

    We are a small software business. We work from home, have no office, no company vehicles and no physical products, so our footprint is small: mostly the energy used working from home, and business travel, usually by train.

    Baseline emissions footprint

    The baseline year is the 12 months from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. All figures are in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), estimated with the UK government's greenhouse gas conversion factors.

    EmissionstCO2e
    Scope 1 (fuel we burn directly)0.00. No company vehicles, premises or boilers
    Scope 2 (electricity we buy)0.00. The company buys no electricity of its own; home working is counted under Scope 3
    Scope 3: business travel0.07
    Scope 3: employee commuting, including working from home0.57
    Scope 3: waste from our operations0.00. Too small to measure
    Scope 3: upstream transport and distribution0.00. We send no physical goods
    Scope 3: downstream transport and distribution0.00. Our service is delivered online
    Total0.64

    Current emissions reporting

    The baseline year is also our current reporting year, so these figures match the baseline. From next year this section will show the latest 12 months beside the baseline.

    Emissions reduction targets

    To reach net zero by 2040, we will:

    • cut total emissions by 50% from the baseline by 2030
    • keep Scope 1 at zero, with no fossil-fuelled company vehicles or heating
    • switch the home office electricity to a renewable tariff by the end of 2027
    • offset only the emissions we can't remove, and say so each year

    Carbon reduction projects

    Already in place

    • All training is delivered online, so customers don't travel to sessions and nothing is printed or posted.
    • Certificates and evidence reports are digital.
    • Meetings with schools, councils and partners are held online wherever possible.

    Planned

    • Choose train over car for business trips where there's a reasonable route.
    • Switch work electricity to a renewable tariff.
    • Ask our main suppliers, including our cloud hosting provider, for their own carbon reduction plans each year.
    • Measure emissions every year and publish this plan on our website.

    These measures will be in effect when we perform any public sector contract.
