Our 2023 carbon footprint We decided to use 2022 as our baseline and calculated our first full carbon footprint in early 2022, in line with the best practice standards from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. It became immediately evident that our carrier emissions were the most significant contributor to our footprint. We also came to understand the importance of good data to create accurate carbon footprint estimates.
Though we initially used spend-based, UK-Government emissions factors for our 2022 carbon footprint for our carriers, we were able to quickly improve our data by engaging with our carriers and getting supplier-specific data. The impact of supplier-specific data was enormous, and to ensure an accurate baseline, we recalculated our 2022 carbon footprint using the information they shared.
