Carbon Reduction Plan
The Study Academy Carbon Reduction Plan
Supplier name: Study Academy
Publication date: April 2023
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
The Study Academy is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045 with a 25% reduction by 2033
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 ( reflecting on 2022 activity January – Dec 2022) | |
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. | |
This is the Study Academies first carbon reduction plan so do not have any baseline or historic data. We are an environmentally aware organisation committed to continual reduction in carbon usage through all elements of our operations. We do not have offices so our footprint considers mainly home emissions and no company vehicles and we are committed to ongoing elimination of use of paper within our delivery. We specialise in e-learning , digital solutions so have limited direct and indirect emissions as our products are not physically transported

Baseline year emissions: 2022 | |
EMISSIONS | TOTAL (tCO2e) |
Scope 1 | 302 |
Scope 2 | 110 |
Scope 3 (Included Sources) | • Business travel – emissions from transportation of employees for business-related activities. Measuring this would require records of trips taken and the mode of transport used for those trips. • Employee commuting – emissions from transportation of employees between their homes and their worksites. Measuring this we have analysed commuting trips completed and the mode of transport used. 4,180 |
Total Emissions | 4592 |
This is our first year cardon reduction plan. 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 a reduction of 25% by 2033
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects are being planned over the next 5 years. . The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate 25% reduction over next 10 years and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract
The above reductions have been achieved primarily through managing the energy efficiency of our remote operations as we continue to strive to go paperless and reduce company operations
We have also taken actions to build net zero capacity within the organisation by:
– appointing a designate manager,
– All staff complete an Environmental Awareness Course (digital) that we have created
– creating a cross- business working group and by implementing a capacity building and education awareness for staff.
Soon (and in time for our 2033 reduction target of 25%) we will implement further measures such as:
• Continued energy efficiency across our offices
• Switch to renewable energy
• Launch new emission reduction initiatives for all our businesses
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, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
