Carbon Reduction Plan

Supplier name: CST Pharma Ltd

Publication date: 1st April 2024

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

CST Pharma Ltd 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: 1st May 2019 to 30th April 2020
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.

Historic baseline year prior to commencement of numerous carbon reduction initiatives.

Some historic figures were not available for the Aldridge facility. These were addressed as below.

Gas Heating. There is a single gas heater at the warehouse facility. All other heating is electric. We have used the actual figures from the Reporting Year, as the area being heated has not changed.

Waste disposal. This is linked to activity levels, therefore we have extrapolated this figure by comparing annual revenue for the Baseline and Reporting years, using actual data from the Reporting Year.

Transport. Some of the hauliers used during the Baseline year were unable to provide CO2 data. For these, we used actual CO2 data provided by other hauliers delivering an identical service and applied this to the routes in question.

Employee commuting. Data on employee commuting methods was not available for the Baseline year. We therefore applied the ratio between employee numbers in the Baseline Year and employee numbers in the Reporting Year, using actual data from the Reporting Year.
Baseline year emissions:
EMISSIONS TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1 161

Scope 3 (Included Sources) 450

Included sources: Upstream Transport & Distribution, Employee Commuting, Business Travel, Waste, Downstream Transport & Distribution
Total Emissions 721

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 500 tCO2e by 2029. This is a reduction of 11%

Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2019/20 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 201 tCO2e, a 28% reduction against the 2019/20 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract

  • Solar panels array fitted to roof, reduces and at times eliminates need for purchased electricity.
  • Air source heat pumps in offices
  • Internal and external LED lighting fitted
  • Lighting on motion sensors
  • Cycle to work scheme introduced
  • Company car fleet moving over to electric
  • Electric car charging points installed
  • Use of ISO14001 suppliers
  • Switching to energy saving PCs

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

  • New ERP & sales processing system to reduce paper usage
  • Use of electronic signature systems to reduce need for paper
  • Using 60gsm paper instead of standard 80gsm
  • Car fleet continues to move to electric

Declaration and Sign Off

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.

Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
