Commitment to achieving Net Zero
ITL North East Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

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: 2023
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.

ITL North East Limited has not previously assessed or reported emissions. However, as part of our commitment to monitor and review our carbon footprint, we are providing the following report. The 2023 emissions report below will serve as the baseline for future monitoring.

Current Emissions Reporting - Reporting Year:2024

Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets for the next five years.

Scope 1: 5.5%

Scope 2: 3%

Scope 3: 10%

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 17.99 tCO2e by 2029. This is a reduction of 18.5%

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2024 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes will equate to 0.82 tCO2e, a 3.7% reduction against the 2024 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.

These measures include:

• Arranging contract review meeting with customers via Teams rather than in person reducing travel/car emissions (Scope 1).
• Transitioning within the building to energy-efficient/LED light bulbs (Scope 2).
• Providing interpreters with public transport cards to minimise fuel emissions (Scope 3).

• Building improvements: Solar panels are due to be installed in the next 12 months to reduce reliance on grid electricity.
• We are currently working towards ISO14001 accreditation for further management and reduction of carbon emissions.
• Expanding our scheme of encouraging customers to use remote or video interpreting services to reduce the need for travel.
• Upgrade to energy-efficient office equipment
• Encouraging the use of digital platforms for note-taking and client communications, reducing the need for paper.
• Work with more suppliers who have strong sustainability practices.

By implementing these strategies, we aim to significantly reduce our carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future.
