Carbon Reduction Plan
Publication Date: 20/02/2024
McGinley Support Services (Infrastructure) Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. This will cover Scope 1, 2 and those of Scope 3 categories that are applicable to our business (business travel and employee commuting).
Our Carbon Reduction Plan, below, has been prepared in response to the requirements of the Procurement Policy Note 06/21.
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.
McGinley confirms our commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 2000tCO2e by 2026.
To continue our progress in achieving Net Zero, McGinley will continue measuring and monitoring our emissions via ESOS, which is administrated by the Environment Agency. We have found the ESOS measurement framework to be strategically effective in identifying and tailoring cost-effective measures, enabling us to conserve energy and achieve carbon and cost savings. We estimate that the ESOS audit costs are significantly outweighed by the savings made from implementing the recommended measures.
In addition, through our work on CP6, we are collaborating with Network Rail on their science-based Target (SBT) commitments. This commitment aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 46% by FY2029, with 75% of suppliers having Science-based Targets by FY2025 and reducing absolute Scope 3 indirect use phase emissions by 28% by FY2029.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
As a national provider of contingent labour, our impact on the environment is predominantly due to our transport services as opposed to other business activities. For context, our ESOS report showed that 96% of our emissions are linked to fleet activity.
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2017 baseline:
The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to almost a 50% reduction in total carbon emissions since the 2017 baseline year.
In the future McGinley aims to implement further measures such as:
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 standard and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, McGinley is working with an external environmental consultancy to implement effective and accurate monitoring of our Scope 3 emissions.
