Bit Zesty Carbon Reduction Plan 2025
Carbon Reduction Plan
Supplier name: Bit Zesty Ltd
Publication date: July 29, 2025
7.1 Commitment to achieving net zero
Bit Zesty Ltd is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 for our UK operations.
As a remote-first software development and support company, we recognise our responsibility to contribute to the UK’s climate goals. Our commitment extends beyond compliance to proactive leadership in sustainable business practices within the technology sector.
7.2 Baseline emissions footprint
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.
Baseline year: 2025
Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations:
This baseline represents our comprehensive carbon footprint assessment as a remote-first software development company using Sustrax carbon measurement platform. The assessment includes emissions from our remote workforce operations (captured under home workers), business travel, and associated upstream emissions. As a remote-first organisation with no company vehicles or office facilities, our direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) are minimal, with the majority of our footprint coming from home working energy consumption and business travel.
Baseline year emissions:
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 0.00 |
| Scope 2 | 0.00 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 5.24 |
| Total emissions | 5.24 |
Scope 3 emissions breakdown:
- Home Workers: 3.00 tCO2e (energy consumption from remote working)
- Business Flights: 1.98 tCO2e (direct flight emissions)
- Flight upstream emissions (WTT): 0.24 tCO2e (well-to-tank fuel production)
- Public Transport: 0.004 tCO2e (ground transport)
- Public Transport upstream (WTT): 0.001 tCO2e
7.3 Current emissions reporting
Reporting year: 2025
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 0.00 |
| Scope 2 | 0.00 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 5.24 |
| Total emissions | 5.24 |
Current year Scope 3 emissions sources:
- Home Workers: 3.00 tCO2e (57% of total footprint)
- Business Flights: 1.98 tCO2e (38% of total footprint)
- Flight upstream emissions (WTT): 0.24 tCO2e (5% of total footprint)
- Public Transport: 0.004 tCO2e
- Public Transport upstream (WTT): 0.001 tCO2e
7.4 Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 3.67 tCO2e by 2030, representing a 30% reduction from our 2025 baseline of 5.24 tCO2e.
Interim targets:
- 2026: 4.71 tCO2e (10% reduction from 2025 baseline)
- 2028: 4.19 tCO2e (20% reduction from 2025 baseline)
- 2030: 3.67 tCO2e (30% reduction from 2025 baseline)
- 2050: Net zero emissions
Given our emissions profile, reductions will focus on our two largest sources:
- Home Workers emissions (3.00 tCO2e): Supporting renewable energy transition and energy efficiency
- Business Travel emissions (2.22 tCO2e total): Further reducing flight requirements and supporting sustainable aviation fuels
7.5 Carbon reduction projects
Completed carbon reduction initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented and established our 2025 baseline measurement. These measures are in effect and will continue during contract performance:
Carbon Neutrality Programme: Established comprehensive carbon measurement and offsetting programme, maintaining carbon-neutral status through verified offset schemes.
Climate Action Group: Formed internal sustainability team to drive environmental improvements and engage employees in carbon reduction initiatives.
Remote-First Operations: Maintained remote-first working model, significantly reducing commuting emissions and office space requirements compared to traditional office-based operations.
Sustainable Travel Policy: Implemented revised travel policy encouraging low-carbon transport options for essential business travel, including:
- Preference for rail over air travel for domestic journeys
- Virtual meeting prioritisation to reduce travel requirements
- Carbon offsetting for unavoidable high-emission travel
Digital Optimisation Initiatives:
- Reduced video usage in virtual meetings by 20% to decrease digital energy consumption
- Implemented responsible electronic device disposal and repurposing programme
- Optimised digital tool usage to reduce energy consumption
Sustainable Purchasing Policy: Established procurement guidelines prioritising:
- Products from sustainable sources
- Second-hand equipment where feasible
- Suppliers with demonstrated environmental credentials
Future carbon reduction initiatives
In the future we plan to implement further measures including:
Digital Infrastructure Decarbonisation: Leverage cloud service providers’ renewable energy transitions (including AWS’s emissions reduction plans) to further reduce our digital carbon footprint.
Green Hosting Migration: Transition to web hosting providers powered by 100% renewable energy for client projects where feasible.
Supply Chain Engagement: Expand carbon reduction requirements to our supply chain partners and subcontractors.
Employee Sustainability Programme: Launch enhanced employee engagement initiatives including:
- Home office energy efficiency guidance and support
- Sustainable commuting incentives for client site visits
- Personal carbon footprint tracking tools
Renewable Energy Support: Provide guidance and potential financial support for employees to transition to renewable energy suppliers for home offices.
Circular Economy Initiatives: Implement comprehensive equipment reuse and recycling programmes, extending device lifecycles and minimising electronic waste.
