Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Everyone Health is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2040
At Everyone Health we are fully committed to achieving net zero across all areas of our business. We recognise the urgent need to address climate change and take responsibility for our environmental impact. With this commitment, we aim to minimise our carbon footprint and contribute to a sustainable future. To achieve net zero, we will adopt an approach that encompasses key strategies across our services:
- We will assess and monitor our current emissions, setting clear reduction targets to measure our progress
- We will invest in energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy sources, and sustainable infrastructure to minimise our operational carbon emissions
- We will prioritise sustainable procurement practices, ensuring that our supply chain aligns with our commitment to net zero
- We will work closely with our suppliers to encourage responsible sourcing and reduce the environmental impact of our products and services
- We will engage and educate our employees, clients, and stakeholders about the importance of sustainability
- We will offset our emissions by planting trees to achieve carbon neutral
By promoting awareness and encouraging sustainable practices, we will create a culture of environmental responsibility within our social care business.
Through these concerted efforts, we will strive to achieve net zero and be a leader in the transition to a greener, more sustainable social care service.
We will regularly review and improve our practices to ensure ongoing progress towards our net zero goals.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline Year 2024-2025
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. Instruction: Please provide details of your baseline emissions below. If you have not previously assessed or reported emissions, please detail this below and use your first reporting period as your baseline.
Everyone Health uses the National Grid definitions of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
As a provider of public health services, we are committed to environmental sustainability and actively strive to minimise our carbon footprint. As part of our submission and Carbon Reduction Plan we aim to provide additional details relating to baseline emissions calculations, as outlined in GOV.UK PPN 06/21. In line with the government’s objective to transition to a low-carbon economy, we recognise the significance of accurately assessing and managing our environmental impact. We understand that baseline emissions calculations are a crucial step towards achieving this goal. To comply with the requirements of GOV.UK PPN 06/21, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment of our operations, including energy consumption, transportation, waste management, and other relevant areas.
This assessment will be carried out in accordance with recognised industry standards and best practices. Our aim is to establish a reliable baseline for emissions calculations, which will enable us to track our progress and implement targeted strategies to reduce our carbon emissions effectively. We are committed to aligning our practices with the government’s environmental objectives and contributing to a sustainable future. Our initial plan aims to focus on Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and we expect to use 2024-2025 as our initial baseline report, assuming no further significant change to our operations. By the end of 2025-26, we will be able to update this plan to include applicable Scope 3 categories including: Category 4 Upstream transportation and distribution Category 5 Waste generated in operations Category 6 Business travel Category 7 Employee commuting Category 9 Downstream transportation and distribution. The calculations were completed on the SME Carbon Footprint Calculator | The Carbon Trust

Emissions Reduction targets
As a result, as part of our commitment to achieving Net Zero, we aim to aspire to achieve the following carbon reduction target:
We aim to reduce our overall footprint and as a result our carbon emissions will reduce substantially over the next five years to 127 tCO2e by 2030. This (if achieved as planned) will deliver a substantial reduction of 45% with the aim to reach net zero by 2040.
In addition to the changes, we aim to deliver in our work environments, practices and workforce. We also aim to compensate for all our generated emissions, including those from essential and unavoidable travel, by investing in carbon-reduction projects that are certified to international standards. In 2024-25 we invested in a re-forestation project to offset 100 tonnes of our carbon emissions and had 27 trees planted.
Carbon Reduction projects 24-25 completed
As part of our overall Carbon Reduction Plan, we sought staff involvement in a number of initial projects that helped support us with both getting our message across, but also give us a head start on seeing the benefits of such measures in a short space of time. This initial drive also included our messaging that our projects can be taken from the workplace to the home environment to spread our carbon reduction message amongst our teams.
