3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

*
To estimate and calculate our carbon footprint, including Scope 2 emissions from our cloud hosting services and employee home office energy use, we have followed a structured methodology based on recognized standards and protocols, including the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and best practices for companies with remote workforces. Calculation Methodology: Scope 2 Emissions: Cloud Hosting (Azure): For Scope 2 emissions associated with cloud hosting, we rely on Microsoft Azure’s commitment to using 100% renewable energy for its data centers. As a result, our cloud hosting emissions are considered zero for both location-based and market-based calculations. Employee Home Office Energy Use: For employee energy consumption, we estimated the annual energy consumption for each of our 26 employees based on their laptop usage and general home office energy consumption (including lighting, heating, and other devices). We used industry averages for home office energy use and applied the UK grid emissions factor (0.233 kg CO2/kWh) for location-based emissions. Carbon Emission Factors: For home office energy consumption, we used the UK’s average grid emissions factor (0.233 kg CO2/kWh) as provided by the UK government and energy authorities. Azure Cloud Hosting emissions are considered zero due to Microsoft\'s use of 100% renewable energy. Carbon Offsetting: Where emissions could not be reduced, we have planned to invest in verified carbon offset projects (e.g., reforestation and renewable energy initiatives) to neutralize any unavoidable emissions. Tools and Methods Used: Carbon Tracker: We use the Carbon Tracker tool for estimating our Scope 2 emissions. This tool is widely used for carbon footprint calculation and emissions tracking, helping us calculate emissions from electricity use (both for cloud services and employee energy consumption). Microsoft Azure\'s Renewable Energy Reports: We rely on Azure’s sustainability reports and data to confirm the 100% renewable energy usage for our cloud hosting. National Grid’s Emissions Factor: For calculating location-based Scope 2 emissions, we used the emissions factor published by the UK National Grid for 2024 (0.233 kg CO2/kWh). Data Accuracy and Quality: Scope 2 emissions for cloud hosting are straightforward and accurate, based on the guaranteed use of 100% renewable energy by Microsoft Azure. For employee home office energy consumption, the data is based on estimates derived from standard energy consumption patterns for remote workers and laptop usage. While these estimates are reasonable, actual energy use may vary depending on individual home office conditions. We have relied on industry averages for this data, so accuracy is dependent on these assumptions. We are also in the process of surveying employees to gather more specific data on their energy usage to improve future accuracy. Limitations and Assumptions: The methodology assumes average energy consumption for remote employees, and the accuracy of Scope 2 emissions calculations for employee home offices may improve with more precise data collection. As our company grows, we plan to enhance our emissions calculation approach by implementing more detailed energy audits for home offices and potentially using smarter energy management tools for better data accuracy. Summary: In summary, our carbon emissions have been calculated using a combination of standardized methodologies (GHG Protocol) and industry-standard emission factors. The tools used include Carbon Tracker for Scope 2 emissions and Microsoft Azure’s renewable energy data for cloud hosting. We continue to work toward improving data accuracy by collecting more precise information from employees and refining our emissions measurement processes.

Calculation Methodology for Scope 3 Emissions: To calculate our Scope 3 emissions, we used the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and industry standards to estimate emissions in the following key categories: Business Travel: For business travel, we used industry-standard emissions factors for air travel and train travel. The emissions were calculated based on the distance traveled and mode of transportation (e.g., long-haul flights, domestic flights, and train travel). Emissions Factors Used: Long-haul flight emissions were calculated using an average emissions factor of 0.18 kg CO2 per mile. Train emissions were based on the UK’s average emissions factor of 0.04 kg CO2 per passenger mile. Purchased Goods and Services: We estimated Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services (such as IT hardware, cloud hosting services, and office supplies) by using carbon intensity factors for typical manufacturing and transportation of laptops, peripherals, and other IT equipment. The emissions from IT hardware were based on an average carbon intensity for laptops, with a typical value of 200 kg CO2 per laptop for the manufacturing and transportation stages. For Microsoft Azure cloud services, we assumed zero emissions from Scope 3, as Azure's data centers are powered by 100% renewable energy. Waste (E-Waste): For e-waste, we calculated emissions based on industry averages for the disposal and recycling of electronic devices. The average emissions per device were estimated at 0.1 metric tonnes CO2 per laptop. Emissions Factor Used: Based on industry data for the disposal and recycling of IT devices. Tools Used: Carbon Tracker: We utilized Carbon Tracker to measure and track emissions from employee home office energy use (Scope 2 emissions) and calculate indirect emissions from purchased goods and services (Scope 3). The tool provides a comprehensive framework for assessing emissions and helps ensure accurate reporting of indirect emissions. Emissions Factors Database: For categories like business travel and purchased goods, we used publicly available emissions factors from trusted databases such as the UK Government’s Carbon Footprint Tool, EPA, and GHG Protocol guidelines. We also cross-referenced emissions factors with industry-specific data for cloud services (Azure) and IT hardware to ensure accuracy. Supplier Data (Microsoft Azure): For cloud hosting services, we relied on Microsoft's sustainability reports, which confirm their use of 100% renewable energy for their data centers, resulting in zero emissions from this source. Data Accuracy: Accuracy of Data: The Scope 3 emissions calculations are based on industry-standard emissions factors and general estimates. For business travel, emissions were calculated using standardized flight and train emissions factors, which provide an accurate reflection of emissions for these activities. However, there is some inherent uncertainty in these estimates, particularly for employee home office energy and e-waste. Employee Home Office Energy Use: Since the energy consumption for remote employees is estimated based on average laptop usage and UK grid emissions factors, the data may vary depending on the exact energy consumption in different employee locations. Purchased Goods: The carbon intensity of IT hardware is based on typical emissions values for the manufacturing and transportation of laptops, but actual emissions may vary depending on the specific models and manufacturers. Data Gaps and Assumptions: Supplier Emissions: While we used data from Microsoft for Azure, we made general assumptions about emissions from other suppliers (e.g., Network ROI for IT infrastructure). For more accuracy, we would need to directly request emissions data from these suppliers. Employee E-Waste: The emissions from e-waste are based on a general average emissions value for laptops and other electronic devices but may vary based on local recycling practices and the type of electronics disposed of. Future Improvements: We plan to improve the accuracy of Scope 3 emissions by gathering more specific data from suppliers and performing employee surveys on energy consumption and e-waste disposal to refine future calculations. We will also continue to update our emissions factors as better data becomes available, and we are considering more sophisticated emissions tracking tools as part of our carbon management strategy. Summary: We have used industry-standard tools (like Carbon Tracker) and emissions factors from trusted databases to estimate our Scope 3 emissions. While the data is based on reliable emission factors, the accuracy of the calculations is dependent on assumptions about employee energy consumption and the carbon intensity of purchased goods. We will continue to refine our methodology as more specific data becomes available.

National Grid’s Emissions Factor: For calculating location-based Scope 2 emissions, we used the emissions factor published by the UK National Grid for 2024 (0.233 kg CO2/kWh). Data Accuracy and Quality: Scope 2 emissions for cloud hosting are straightforward and accurate, based on the guaranteed use of 100% renewable energy by Microsoft Azure. For employee home office energy consumption, the data is based on estimates derived from standard energy consumption patterns for remote workers and laptop usage. While these estimates are reasonable, actual energy use may vary depending on individual home office conditions. We have relied on industry averages for this data, so accuracy is dependent on these assumptions. We are also in the process of surveying employees to gather more specific data on their energy usage to improve future accuracy. Limitations and Assumptions: The methodology assumes average energy consumption for remote employees, and the accuracy of Scope 2 emissions calculations for employee home offices may improve with more precise data collection. As our company grows, we plan to enhance our emissions calculation approach by implementing more detailed energy audits for home offices and potentially using smarter energy management tools for better data accuracy. Summary: In summary, our carbon emissions have been calculated using a combination of standardized methodologies (GHG Protocol) and industry-standard emission factors. The tools used include Carbon Tracker for Scope 2 emissions and Microsoft Azure’s renewable energy data for cloud hosting. We continue to work toward improving data accuracy by collecting more precise information from employees and refining our emissions measurement processes.

Supplier Engagement: We are actively engaging with our suppliers, including Microsoft Azure (cloud services) and Network ROI (IT infrastructure), to ensure they are aligned with our net-zero goals. We are focusing on working exclusively with net-zero compliant suppliers by 2026 and will encourage our suppliers to adopt sustainable practices to reduce their own emissions. Goal: Ensure 100% of our suppliers are aligned with net-zero by 2026. Encouraging Renewable Energy Use: For employee home offices, we are promoting the use of energy-efficient devices and encouraging employees to switch to renewable energy suppliers at home. This helps reduce emissions from their energy consumption, which is a part of our Scope 2 emissions. Goal: Have 80% of employees enrolled in energy-efficient home office programs by Q4 2025. Carbon Offsetting: Where emissions cannot be reduced, we are committed to investing in carbon offsetting projects such as reforestation, renewable energy initiatives, and climate-positive technologies. This will offset the remaining Scope 3 emissions, particularly from areas like e-waste and business travel. Monitoring and Reporting: We are working with tools like Carbon Tracker and using annual reporting to track emissions from our value chain. These tools allow us to measure and reduce emissions from our operations and value chain effectively. Goal: Publish an annual sustainability report to ensure transparency and accountability in our carbon reduction efforts. Summary: We are committed to reducing emissions from our value chain by engaging with suppliers, optimizing business travel, and promoting sustainable practices among employees. Our goal is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030, with specific targets and actions for Scope 3 emissions, such as reducing business travel emissions by 50% by 2026 and ensuring 100% of suppliers align with net-zero by 2026.

Calculation Methodology for Scope 3 Emissions: To calculate our Scope 3 emissions, we used the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and industry standards to estimate emissions in the following key categories: Business Travel: For business travel, we used industry-standard emissions factors for air travel and train travel. The emissions were calculated based on the distance traveled and mode of transportation (e.g., long-haul flights, domestic flights, and train travel). Emissions Factors Used: Long-haul flight emissions were calculated using an average emissions factor of 0.18 kg CO2 per mile. Train emissions were based on the UK’s average emissions factor of 0.04 kg CO2 per passenger mile. Purchased Goods and Services: We estimated Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services (such as IT hardware, cloud hosting services, and office supplies) by using carbon intensity factors for typical manufacturing and transportation of laptops, peripherals, and other IT equipment. The emissions from IT hardware were based on an average carbon intensity for laptops, with a typical value of 200 kg CO2 per laptop for the manufacturing and transportation stages. For Microsoft Azure cloud services, we assumed zero emissions from Scope 3, as Azure's data centers are powered by 100% renewable energy. Waste (E-Waste): For e-waste, we calculated emissions based on industry averages for the disposal and recycling of electronic devices. The average emissions per device were estimated at 0.1 metric tonnes CO2 per laptop. Emissions Factor Used: Based on industry data for the disposal and recycling of IT devices. Tools Used: Carbon Tracker: We utilized Carbon Tracker to measure and track emissions from employee home office energy use (Scope 2 emissions) and calculate indirect emissions from purchased goods and services (Scope 3). The tool provides a comprehensive framework for assessing emissions and helps ensure accurate reporting of indirect emissions. Emissions Factors Database: For categories like business travel and purchased goods, we used publicly available emissions factors from trusted databases such as the UK Government’s Carbon Footprint Tool, EPA, and GHG Protocol guidelines. We also cross-referenced emissions factors with industry-specific data for cloud services (Azure) and IT hardware to ensure accuracy. Supplier Data (Microsoft Azure): For cloud hosting services, we relied on Microsoft's sustainability reports, which confirm their use of 100% renewable energy for their data centers, resulting in zero emissions from this source. Data Accuracy: Accuracy of Data: The Scope 3 emissions calculations are based on industry-standard emissions factors and general estimates. For business travel, emissions were calculated using standardized flight and train emissions factors, which provide an accurate reflection of emissions for these activities. However, there is some inherent uncertainty in these estimates, particularly for employee home office energy and e-waste. Employee Home Office Energy Use: Since the energy consumption for remote employees is estimated based on average laptop usage and UK grid emissions factors, the data may vary depending on the exact energy consumption in different employee locations. Purchased Goods: The carbon intensity of IT hardware is based on typical emissions values for the manufacturing and transportation of laptops, but actual emissions may vary depending on the specific models and manufacturers. Data Gaps and Assumptions: Supplier Emissions: While we used data from Microsoft for Azure, we made general assumptions about emissions from other suppliers (e.g., Network ROI for IT infrastructure). For more accuracy, we would need to directly request emissions data from these suppliers. Employee E-Waste: The emissions from e-waste are based on a general average emissions value for laptops and other electronic devices but may vary based on local recycling practices and the type of electronics disposed of. Future Improvements: We plan to improve the accuracy of Scope 3 emissions by gathering more specific data from suppliers and performing employee surveys on energy consumption and e-waste disposal to refine future calculations. We will also continue to update our emissions factors as better data becomes available, and we are considering more sophisticated emissions tracking tools as part of our carbon management strategy. Summary: We have used industry-standard tools (like Carbon Tracker) and emissions factors from trusted databases to estimate our Scope 3 emissions. While the data is based on reliable emission factors, the accuracy of the calculations is dependent on assumptions about employee energy consumption and the carbon intensity of purchased goods. We will continue to refine our methodology as more specific data becomes available.
