Carbon Reduction Plan
(Spyrosoft Ltd)
Supplier name: Spyrosoft Ltd
Publication date: 08 September 2026
Commitment to Carbon Reduction and Net Zero
Following a science-based reduction target approach, Spyrosoft Ltd is to maintain 0% Scope 1 & 2 emissions and committed to reducing to 46.2% of Scope 3 emissions by 2036 and Net Zero by 2050.
Our main focus for next year (2027) will be the two transport categories, Employee Commuting and Business Travel as combined they account for 99.48 tCO2e which accounts for 63% of our carbon footprint.
Revision commentary applicable to this publication
Spyrosoft Ltd provides technology services to clients in the UK. This work is undertaken predominantly on a remote working basis; however some clients prefer a hybrid of remote delivery plus occasional time spent in the office. We are part of Spyrosoft group, named by the Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing IT services providers in Europe. We anticipate continuous strong year-on-year growth which may mean that our carbon emissions increase as our organisation continues to evolve.
Our environmental commitments and targets are set out within our Environmental Policy and associated protocols for operating in a sustainable manner. For clarity, in this document, all emissions data provided is focused on Spyrosoft Ltd, our UK operations, rather than our global operations.
At the end of FY2025 we have grown to 86 full-time members of staff (a 15% FTE growth rate from 75 FTEs in 2024), based either from our purpose-built serviced offices at Smartbase, Target Way, Aviation Park West, Christchurch, Dorset BH23 6NW or from home, but connected to our regional virtual office locations in London and Manchester. As a result of this increase, we anticipate that our carbon reduction activities will need to be increasingly targeted to enable us to continue to evidence a year-on-year reduction, regardless of the increase in our operations footprint.
For 2025 CDP ( https://www.cdp.net ) reporting we have continued to use Ecologi Zero provided by Ecologi ( https://ecologi.com/ ) to help us accurately measure, track and reduce emissions data in line with our company year-end financial reporting. The Spyrosoft Ltd carbon reporting period remains 01 January to 31 December.
In the year ending 2025, Spyrosoft Ltd incurred an increase in recorded emissions of 21.45 tCO2e, from total emissions of 136.40 tCO2e in 2024, to 157.85 tCO2e in 2025. This increase is attributed to the 15% FTE growth the company experienced during the year. Referring to our Net Zero Pathway, this now places Spyrosoft Ltd behind schedule to meet Net Zero in 2050.
For the coming year, Spyrosoft Ltd will continue its plan to follow a Science-Based Target, a pathway to achieve Net Zero by 2050, with a maximum of a 10% reduction achieved through offsets of our baseline emissions only for which we are not able to reduce or avoid.
Emissions Footprint Year Ending 2022 (Baseline Reporting Year)
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Emissions reduction strategies and targets
To achieve Net Zero by a reduction of at least 90% of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Adhering to the SBTi’s global best-practice standards we have revised our approach aligned with the most recent SBTi requirements with a near-term reduction of 46.2% by 2036, reaching Net Zero by 2050.
See Appendix 2 for Pathway to Net Zero by 2050, showing annual milestone science-based targets.
Targets are reviewed annually in line with our ISO14001 Environmental Management System.
General Reduction Strategies
(G1) We will focus on actual reductions in our emissions.
(G2) Minimise waste by evaluating operational practices and ensuring they are as efficient as possible to reduce environmental impact.
(G3) Raise awareness amongst employees on environmental issues, to support and encourage ideas and suggestions for improved environmental performance.
(G4) To address remaining emissions, with all avoidance/reduction routes exhausted, we will invest in proprietary, nature-based carbon removal offset solutions that will directly remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
(G5) Use resources including water, energy, and other natural resources responsibly.
(G6) Further promote and invest in technologies, work practices and processes that provide alternatives to business travel, such as Microsoft Teams for meetings.
(G7) Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to our organisation.
(G8) We are implementing an Environmental Management System aligned with ISO 14001 to aid meeting our environmental targets and ensure we follow best practices.
Scope 3 – Intensity Target
Following strong performance in 2024 per £1m of 8.02 tCO2e, to 2025 of 5.54 tCO2e per £1m.
Our target for 2026 is to reduce Intensity Per £1m: below 5 tCO2e
Scope 3 – Transport Targets (Commuting and Business Travel)
An estimated pledged reduction of 5,899.6 kgCO2e Year on Year.
This reduction will be supported through initiatives aimed at reducing emissions primarily associated with business travel and employee commuting. Measures include encouraging lower-carbon commuting options, reducing unnecessary air travel, increasing the use of public transport and promoting lower-emission modes of transport where practical.
Scope 3 – Products and Services Targets
An estimated pledged reduction of 3,804 kgCO2e Year on Year.
This reduction will be supported through a combination of employee engagement, sustainable homeworking practices and engagement with suppliers. Initiatives include encouraging more sustainable energy use and working practices, promoting lower-carbon behaviours, and working with relevant suppliers to identify opportunities to reduce emissions associated with purchased products and services.
Scope 3 – Waste Targets
An estimated pledged reduction of 110.5 kgCO2e Year on Year.
This reduction will be supported through initiatives aimed at minimising waste and improving resource efficiency. Measures include reducing paper and single-use materials, improving recycling practices, responsible disposal of electronic waste, reducing unnecessary packaging and improving the segregation and management of recyclable and organic waste.
Together, these initiatives represent an estimated pledged reduction of 9,814.1 kgCO2e year on year.
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures have been completed or implemented.
We have:
- Updated our Environmental Policy and provided training to our team relating to recycling, power consumption reduction, and ethical / sustainable behaviours.
- Eliminated as many single use plastics from our premises as possible.
- Made a commitment to local procurement to eliminate haulage emissions and transportation impacts.
- Enacted a remote working policy to enable our team to undertake their role from home, and providing our team with software, hardware, and other items to enable this.
In the future, we hope to implement further measures such as:
- Incentives for the management of climate-related issues, including attainment of targets.
- We will expect our suppliers to demonstrably endeavour to reduce their environmental impact through waste reduction, energy efficiency and sustainable resource use. Our suppliers will be required to comply with all environmental laws and regulations. This includes the proper management of waste, emissions, and discharges; the safe handling and disposal of hazardous substances; and the reporting of environmental incidents. We will align ourselves with suppliers who actively work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to mitigating climate change. This could involve optimising transportation routes, improving energy efficiency, and investing in carbon offset projects. Efforts should be made to minimise the environmental impact of operations, including reducing energy consumption, minimising waste generation, and promoting recycling and reuse where possible. Suppliers will be encouraged to use resources efficiently, including water and raw materials, and to adopt sustainable practices wherever possible. Suppliers will need to take measures to prevent pollution, including air emissions, water pollution, and hazardous waste disposal.
- For business travel, we will capture related emissions based on a usage allocation. For services requiring on-site customer visits, emissions will be recorded and allocated to the customer based on the number of visits undertaken per month.
- Obtaining ISO 14001 accreditation.
- Committing to a Zero Waste goal: By 2030, we will reuse or recycle 100% of e-waste, as well as all office furniture and fully eliminate use of single-use plastics.
