Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Momentum Recruitment 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.
| Baseline Year: 2021 |
| Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. |
|
We have used baseline reporting figures for 2021 as this is the first year that we have access to an entire year’s data. This is due to Covid 19 and staff working from home for the majority of 2020/ 21, which would not give an accurate reflection of energy usage. Going forward we will engage an external consultant and work with them to design a mechanism for effectively capturing and recording data as we advance. This will provide the ability to identify target areas for cutting emissions.
As far as possible we will base calculations on actual data rather than assumptions and average data methods to ensure accurate calculations and target setting.
Scope 3 currently includes employee commuting but will be further reviewed to include: Waste in operations; Capital Good – IT equipment purchases; Purchased goods and services

Emissions reduction targets
To progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
- Reduce energy usage over the next 5 years by 5% through increased staff awareness, homeworking, LED lighting replacement.
- Reduce scope 3 emissions by 5% though increased home working, remote delivery, use of other forms of transport, public transport, car share, electric vehicles
- Investigate a staff salary sacrifice scheme to encourage transition to electric vehicle usage.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 12 tCO2e by 2027. This is a reduction of 22%.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented across 2021/22. We do not yet have the data to measure reductions.
- All waste generated is recycled to reduce landfill
- We have commenced replacements of fluorescent light fittings in our offices and welding school with LED fittings
- Introduction of virtual meeting platform to ensure meetings can be conducted without the need for / minimising business travel
- Increased home working for teams – reducing emissions caused by commuting to work
- Car sharing and use of public transport is encouraged
- Use of online resources instead of printed materials wherever possible
- Introduction of virtual welding training facilities to reduce waste materials
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
- Ensuring all lighting in offices and welding school is LED – including new premises
- Installation of electric charging points at our Head Office for those staff who already operate an electric vehicle.
- Introduce electric vehicle as company vehicles
- Exploring the introduction of a salary sacrifice electric vehicle scheme to support employees to access electric vehicle more cost effectively and support staff to reduce their own carbon emissions.

Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard[1] and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting[2].
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard[3].
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
