Baseline Emissions Footprint
In both 2022 and 2023, major remedial works were undertaken on the Grade II listed building. A major part of Scope 3 emissions derive from supply chain emissions associated with the works.
Baseline Year: 2022

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 359.72 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 20%.
Carbon Reduction Projects
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2022 baseline. As remedial work has been ongoing throughout 2022 and 2023, there has not yet been a measurable impact on our carbon reduction. However, as work has been completed, we hope to achieve an improvement on our emissions as:
• Our roof has been repaired.
• Energy efficient lightbulbs installed throughout the building.
• Old pipe work replaced.
• All sash windows repaired and made draught proof.
• New boiler installed.
• Multiple recycling points around the building
