Carbon
UN Sustainable Development Goals:
In 2024, Garland UK updated its approach in response to the withdrawal of PAS 2060. Originally developed using the GHG Protocol, PAS 2060 enabled us to achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2. It has now been replaced by ISO 14068, which mandates carbon neutrality across all scopes (1, 2 and 3) using ISO 14064 reporting principles.
As this new standard no longer aligns with Garland UK’s reduction pathway, the company has removed the previous target to achieve PAS 2060 certification. Instead, Garland UK will continue to offset our Scope 1 and 2 emissions where possible, while prioritising the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validation to ensure we maintain robust and transparent reduction goals.
Commitment: Garland UK will achieve its near-term reduction targets by 2032 and its long-term net zero target by 2050, aligned with a 1.5 °C pathway
Scope 1 Direct emissions
Scope 3 Other indirect emissions
Targets:
Progress:
To achieve Science Based Targets (SBTi) validation by 2027 and become net-zero carbon (Scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2032. To publish our Carbon Reduction Plan, our carbon footprint, and plans to reduce our emissions by 2024, in line with Procurement Policy Note 06/21 for carbon.
Reporting all carbon data into the Sustainability Tool (scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions), with validation undertaken to ensure data accuracy Worked with Action Sustainability to ensure all three scopes of carbon emissions are inputted into Garland UK’s carbon accounting software Published a Carbon Reduction Plan in 2024, in line with PPN 06/21
