A buyer wants our emissions reduction plan with dates. What should it contain?
Start from your measured baseline year. List the actions you will take, each with a date, the expected cut in tonnes and how you will measure it: solar, fuel switch, efficient motors, compressed air fixes. Add a target for a year like 2030 and report progress against it every year.
Sections
- Baseline year, total and intensity.
- Actions with dates and expected tonnes.
- Target year and percentage cut.
- How progress will be measured and shared.
Keep it believable
Actions you have budgets for beat a long list. Buyers check last year's promises against this year's figures.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.
