Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Synalogik Innovative Solution 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.

Emissions reduction targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:

• Car share where possible – mandate managers to speak to their teams about this
• Use public transport where travel is necessary
• For short journeys; walk or cycle – Synalogik is investigating cycle to work schemes for our staff
• Reduce the number of flights the business takes
• Continue to encourage our staff to work from home wherever possible.
• Encourage staff to use a low emission vehicles.
• When staff stay in a hotel – turn the lights and air-conditioning off when you leave your hotel room, and ask for your room towels to be washed every other day, rather than every day
• Reduce AWS or other cloud costs, noting that they are intrinsically linked to the amount of carbon used by the cloud provider, as much as possible. This will be achieved by incorporating new code changes which mean platforms only turn on when required and don’t remain idle and containerising our tech stack so that only those components needed are switched on for any process to be completed.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 5.434 mtCO₂e by 2027. This is a reduction of 5%

Progress against these targets will be seen in the graph below, once the data is available to Synalogik:

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2022 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes will equate to 1.1 mtCO2e, a 5%ge reduction against the 2022 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.

The measures that Synalogik have set out are small incremental contributions to our start-up organisation. Many of the changes are small incremental contributions. The plan for 2024 will set out the progress we made this year (2023).
