Carbon Reduction Strategy

We are based in a rural area within a very small office, and we are committed to ensuring that we have minimal impact on the environment, and we are doing all that we can to reduce our carbon footprint. This program encompasses our approach to reducing GHG emissions in our facilities, in line with national climate objectives, while also enabling better sustainability.

Current Emissions Profile Note: Generated emissions from Greenfields Care Services Ltd are not published. Here is a short checklist based on standard practices in domiciliary care.

 

Scope 1 (Direct emissions): Emissions from vehicles owned by the company and energy used on site.

 

Scope 2 (Fn 10): Footnote 10 = “Indirect (Scope 2) emissions source refers to emissions associated with purchased power (e.g., electricity/heat) from third parties.”

 

Scope 3 (Other indirect emissions): Emissions from employee travel, waste, both purchased goods and other indirect emissions sources.
