Note: Your carbon footprint is reported two ways; one is using the location based method of calculating Scope 2 electricity emissions and the other the market based method. A location-based method reflects the average emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption occurs (using mostly grid-average emission factor data).

Target setting.

A Decade of Action: Pathways to Net Zero through varying emissions reduction trajectories

% of Baseline Emissions (2019)

Planet Mark 5% annual reduction • 5% year on year reduction is the minimum annual reduction recommended by the Planet Mark.

Planet Mark 12% annual reduction • 12% year on year reduction is based on the Planet Mark Member absolute carbon reduction average over the past 5 years (2018-2022).

• A 12% year on year reduction from a 2019 baseline will set you on track to meet the UK target Net Zero by 2050.

Workshops.

Workshop

Description

At Planet Mark we believe each day is an opportunity to create change. Our engagement experts will help unlock your employees’ passion and help embed sustainability within your organisation.

Sustainability Plan Workshop

A three-hour session which lifts the lid on operational carbon emissions, supporting a brainstorming session to understand impacts and consider actions that can make a material difference. Participants leave with a one-year Sustainability Plan with SMART targets, roles and responsibilities.

Our workshops seek to inform, inspire and empower participants to become part of your business’ net zero journey.

Net Zero Carbon Essentials

A three-hour CPD accredited workshop which introduces the fundamentals of net zero carbon and what it means for a business to embark on a Net Zero journey.

Net Zero Masterclass

Designed for senior leaders and board members, this short workshop covers the Net Zero terminology, legislation and frameworks and presents an opportunity for leaders to discuss the company’s net zero journey.

Book a call with us here to explore how we can help upskill, build confidence and participation among your team and wider stakeholders.

Business Sustainability Essentials

Supplier Engagement workshop

©2023 PlanetMark

A three-hour CPD accredited workshop covering the basics of business sustainability and the role your employees can adopt in driving change from within.

Invite your suppliers to learn about and get involved with your sustainability journey and net zero ambitions. We facilitate and build content particularly around Scope 3 emissions.

Communicating your international influence.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, are a collection of 17 interrelated goals set by the United Nations.

They cover a broad range of social and economic development issues.

These include poverty, hunger, health, education, climate change, gender, equality, water, sanitation, energy.

By measuring and reducing your carbon footprint with the Planet Mark, you can directly and measurably contribute to up to 9 SDGs addressing 14 SDG targets.

UK homeworking energy includes additional electricity and gas consumption as a result of each full-time equivalent employee working from home. We base our estimate of energy consumption due to homeworking on the new BEIS 2022 homeworking emission factors. The annualised BEIS UK Operations (Glasgow, emission factors have been converted into monthly estimates of energy consumption in order to Edinburgh, Cambridge, better account for seasonal variations.
