Carbon Reduction Plan 2024 Reporting Year: 2023 Additional Details relating to the 2023 Emissions calculations. Over the past 5 years we have expanded and improved our data collection and noted that carbon calculation methodology has evolved, and our new carbon calculation partners (Projective Group) will be undertaking a recalculation exercise based on the latest data and methodologies when calculating our 2024 figures next year. This will ensure that a consistent methodology will be used for all future years subject to changes to methodology to meet future guidelines.
