1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero by 2050
RADWEB LTD T/A Property Inspect is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
This Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) fulfils the requirements of UK Government Procurement Policy Note 06/21 (PPN 006). It establishes our baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory for the period 1st January – 31st December 2025 and sets out a science-based pathway to net zero.
Our approach is guided by the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and UK Government DEFRA/DESNZ conversion factors (2025 edition, published 10 June 2025).
This is RADWEB LTD T/A Property Inspect’s first CRP and represents the commencement of our annual reporting cycle.

3. Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases produced in the past, prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. They are the reference point against which all future emissions reduction will be measured.
Baseline year: 2025 (reporting period: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2025)
Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations:
This is RADWEB LTD T/A Property Inspect’s first carbon footprint assessment. No prior Scope 3 emissions reporting exists. The 2025 reporting period is therefore used as both the baseline year and the current reporting year, consistent with PPN 006 guidance for first-time reporters. Scope 2 electricity is reported using the Market-Based method (0.00 tCO₂e) to reflect our 100% renewable tariff with Bryt Energy; the Location-Based figure (4.31 tCO₂e) is disclosed separately for transparency. Where primary consumption data was unavailable (gas, water, waste, hotel stays), industry-standard benchmark and spend-based methodologies were applied and are detailed in Section 5 (Detailed Emissions Inventory).
Baseline year emissions:
| Emissions | Total (tCO₂e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 4.57 |
| Scope 2 | 0.00 |
| Scope 3 (Categories 5, 6, 7 included; Categories 4 & 9 N/A – see Section 5) | 10.578 |
| Total emissions | 15.148 |
* Scope 2 Market-Based figure: 0.00 tCO₂e (100% renewable via Bryt Energy). Location-Based figure: 4.31 tCO₂e (disclosed for transparency).
4. Current Emissions Reporting
As this is our first CRP, the current reporting year is the same as the baseline year. Future annual updates will show progress against the 2025 baseline.
Reporting year: 2025 (reporting period: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2025)
Current year emissions:
| Emissions | Total (tCO₂e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 4.57 |
| Scope 2 | 0.00 |
| Scope 3 (Categories 5, 6, 7 included; Categories 4 & 9 N/A – see Section 5) | 10.578 |
| Total emissions | 15.148 |
5. Detailed Emissions Inventory
The following table provides a full breakdown of emissions by activity. All figures are in tCO₂e, calculated using DEFRA/DESNZ 2025 conversion factors.

6. Emissions Reduction Targets
In accordance with PPN 006 and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), RADWEB LTD T/A Property Inspect commits to the following reduction pathway:
| Target Horizon | Year | Reduction Target | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Near-Term | 2030 | 42% reduction (Scope 1 & 2); ≥25% Scope 3 | 2025 baseline. SBTi 1.5°C pathway. Projected: ~8.79 tCO₂e by 2030. |
| Long-Term / Net Zero | 2050 | 90% absolute reduction (all scopes) | Residual ≤10% neutralised via high-quality permanent carbon removals (SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard). |
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 approximately 8.79 tCO₂e by 2030. This is a reduction of 42% against our 2025 baseline of 15.148 tCO₂e.
Near-Term Target (by 2030)
- Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from the 2025 baseline (SBTi 1.5°C-aligned).
- Achieve a minimum 25% reduction across primary Scope 3 categories (6, 7, 5) within the same timeframe.
Long-Term Target – Net Zero 2050
- Reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% from the 2025 baseline by 2050.
- Neutralise any residual emissions (≤10%) through high-quality, permanent carbon removals per the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard.
7. Carbon Reduction Projects
7.1 Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2025 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equates to 4.31 tCO₂e, a 28% reduction against the 2025 baseline (on a location-based basis), and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.
| Initiative | Description | Carbon Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Renewable Electricity (Bryt Energy) | Contracted 100% renewable electricity for Portsmouth office, reducing Scope 2 Market-Based emissions to zero. | Scope 2 reduced to 0.00 tCO₂e (vs 4.31 location-based) |
| EV Fleet Adoption | Active use of electric vehicles for business travel; EV mileage tracked separately from ICE. | 0.19 tCO₂e vs higher ICE equivalent |
| Wood Waste Diversion to MRF | Wood waste (EWC 17 02 01) diverted to Tipner MRF via TJ Waste & Recycling Ltd, preventing methane from landfill. | 21.3 kg CO₂e/tonne vs landfill rate |
| Hybrid Working Policy (3 office / 2 WFH days) | Formalised hybrid model reduces daily commuting vehicle emissions and office energy use on WFH days. | Commuting emissions reduced vs full-time office |
| Waste Duty of Care Compliance | Full compliance with Waste (England & Wales) Regulations 2011; verified tracking via Transfer Notes. | Accurate measurement baseline |
| ISO 27001 Audit Programme | Commenced ISO 27001 certification process, embedding governance for sustainable and secure operations. | Management system foundation for reduction measures |
Further carbon savings from EV fleet adoption, wood waste diversion, hybrid working policy, and ISO 27001 governance will be quantified in future annual reporting cycles.
7.2 Future Carbon Reduction Initiatives
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
Decarbonising Digital Infrastructure
As a software-led business (radweb.com, propertyinspect.com), data centre and cloud hosting emissions represent our most significant unquantified Scope 3 category.
- Provider Audit (2026): Audit all cloud/hosting providers for 100% renewable energy commitments and high Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) standards, aligned with the EU Data Centres Code of Conduct (G-Cloud Call-Off Schedule 26 requirement).
- ENERGY STAR Compliance: All IT hardware procured will meet ENERGY STAR certification, Government Buying Standards (GBS), and EPEAT criteria.
- Infrastructure Optimisation: Implement leaner code practices and server-side optimisations to reduce computational energy demands.
Sustainable Procurement & Supply Chain
- Sustainable Supplier Code of Conduct (2026): Prioritise vendors holding ISO 14001 or with published CRPs.
- Activity-Based Data: Transition from spend-based to activity-based Scope 3 measurement for purchased goods and services.
- Circular Economy IT Policy: Extend hardware lifecycle; ensure end-of-life electronics are processed via verified WEEE schemes.
- Supply Chain Engagement: Annual engagement with sub-contractors on emissions reduction, per PPN 006 supply chain cascade requirements.
Low-Carbon Operations & Travel
- Travel Hierarchy Policy: Formal policy prioritising virtual meetings; rail as default over private vehicle or domestic flight.
- EV Fleet Transition: Continue expanding EV adoption in business travel fleet, building on 2,433 EV miles in baseline year.
- Homeworking Carbon Literacy Campaign: Help staff reduce WFH energy footprint (currently 5.29 tCO₂e – our largest Scope 3 source).
- Commuting Data Collection: Implement commuting survey in 2025/26 to capture Category 7 office-day commuting emissions for 2026 reporting.
