Metrics and targets To achieve net zero, we will be aiming to reduce emissions in line with the latest guidance from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Targets are defined as “science based” when they align with the scale of reductions required to limit global temperature increases to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures. Adopting the SBTi framework ensures our decarbonisation efforts are aligned with the latest climate science and global best practices. The SBTi provides a clear, credible pathway for reducing emissions at a pace and scale consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
For the time being our targets will be aligned with SBTi guidance, although we will not be seeking validation at this time. We anticipate reducing our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 63% by 2035, which will be validated using FY25 as our base year. We will also consider setting an intensity‑based Scope 3 target depending on growth targets. An intensity-based target is a commitment to reduce emissions per economic unit or physical unit. We are committed to reach net zero by 2045. Please see our Carbon Reduction Plan for more information www.nccgroupplc.com/sustainability

VIEWPOINT
The state of supply chain security NCC Group thought leadership shows 68% of organisations expect supply chain attacks to grow more severe
Global supply chains are under mounting pressure, suffering a series of high profile breaches in 2025. As the attack surface and threat increases, organisations are complacent and over reliant on compliance frameworks. NCC Group’s ‘State of supply chain security’ report investigated this overlooked area of risk and found deeply concerning evidence of overconfidence, a gap in responsibility and the rising threat posed by artificial intelligence. At NCC Group, we help clients tackle these challenges through expert-led assessments, robust third party risk management, and tailored strategies that embed security across the supply chain, ensuring organisations can operate confidently in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.
