Commitment to achieving Net Zero

OneTouch Health Group, referred herein as OneTouch, is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045. OneTouch has reported both global and UK emissions separately to ensure transparency and provide a comprehensive understanding of its organisational carbon footprint5.

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.

Current Emissions Reporting

Additional Details relating to the Current Year Emissions calculations.

Scope 3 Categories 4 and 9 (Upstream and Downstream Transportation and Distribution) have been calculated using spend-based analysis.

To enhance our understanding of emissions performance over time, we have also calculated emissions intensity ratios. These metrics allow us to monitor changes in carbon reduction as the business grows and evolves. Three intensity metrics have been used: emissions per £million of turnover, emissions per full-time equivalent (FTE) employee and per meter squared of office space.

The following table presents our current year global, and UK Market-based emissions expressed as intensity metrics compared to our base year.

Emissions reduction targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving net zero, we continue to support the following carbon reduction targets outlined in our Base Year.

• Near-Term Target: 37% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2030, a decrease of 90 tCO2e to 150 tCO2e.
• Medium-Term Target: 51% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2035, a decrease of 124 tCO2e to 117 tCO2e.
• Long-Term Target: 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2045, a decrease of 216 tCO2e to 25 tCO2e.

Expected progress against these targets will be tracked annually and can be seen in the graph below:

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Actions which OneTouch have actively worked on have included:

• Improvement of data quality in Business Travel. Moving from a spend-based approach to volume-based across all modes of transport and complete detail for Hotel stays. Although this has resulted in an increase in calculated emissions of 60%, it has given OneTouch clear visibility on current Business Travel habits which will in turn help drive emissions down.
• Addition of a Battery Electric Vehicle to the fleet, this has reduced emissions by 4% in Scope 1.
• Reduced electricity consumption has led to a 46% reduction in Location-based consumption.
• Employee engagement has directly impacted emissions seen in Employee Commuting. The Annual commuting survey shows a decrease in personal vehicles from 82.3% to 71.6% with an increase in commuting via Bus, Rail, Cycling and Walking.

Future Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) and accompanying action plan set out a range of environmental management measures across relevant scopes and emissions categories that we are committed to applying during the performance of the contract. These include both immediate and longer-term initiatives and aim to deliver carbon reductions.

SCOPE 1 and 2: Transport (owned and leased vehicles)

• Move existing hybrid vehicles to electric vehicles (EV) on lease renewal.
• Engage with landlords to install onsite EV chargers powered by renewable energy if applicable.
• Secure primary data on refrigerant leakages from maintenance documentation from landlords.
• Switch to green energy tariffs where possible or choose office locations that offer renewable electricity.
• Review the energy performance of buildings upon lease expiry (EPCs in the UK & BERs in Ireland).
• Encourage proactive engagement with landlords to implement energy reduction initiatives.
• Determine the contract type for our Australian offices (emissions were estimated as being on non-renewable energy contracts for base year calculations).

SCOPE 3:

Of our total emissions, 82.7% sit within Category 6: Business Travel and Category 7: Employee commuting. Our focus will be to:

• Improve data collection across all scope 3 categories to reduce or remove the reliance on spend-based calculations.
• Implement a business travel hierarchy as an addition to our vastly improved data quality in Business Travel for FY25.
• Continue to complete an employee commuting survey with the support of Sustainable Advantage to improve data quality.
• Continue to encourage green commuting, and review policies including:
  • EV salary sacrifice schemes
  • Encouraging carpool arrangements
  • Providing information on public transport alternatives
  • Installing EV charge points at locations to make recharging easy and make use of green tariffs
  • Travel card loan scheme

SCOPE 3 Category 6: Business travel

• Collect additional data for mileage reclaims such as vehicle size and fuel type.
• Collect data on class and distance for flights.
• Collect data on cost of all hotel stays for business travel.
• Introduce a travel policy to minimise unnecessary Where travel is required, prioritise carbon-reducing travel modes, choosing rail and/or bus over air and cars.
• Continue utilising video conferencing to minimise business Where travel is required, we will optimise our meeting schedules to reduce the total mileage travelled.
• Promote HMRC’s tax-free mileage allowances to encourage lower-carbon travel options for business journeys, such as 20p per mile for employees using bicycles and an additional 5p per mile for passengers when car sharing (on top of the standard 45p per mile for the driver).

These measures reflect the environmental management commitments that OneTouch can apply during contract delivery and are intended to support broader organisational and national net zero objectives.
