Date of Publishing: 21st March 2025
2. Commitment to Net Zero
MPS UK Group Limited is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 across our whole operation. This commitment is integral to our sustainability strategy and aligns with global efforts to combat climate change. This carbon reduction plan was prepared on behalf of MPS Group by Earthchain Ltd in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, using UK Government emissions factors to report emissions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e).
3. Baseline Emissions Data
The emissions data for the baseline reporting period (FY23-24) is as follows:
| Baseline Year FY23-24 | |
| Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions Calculations: | |
| This is the first report for MPS UK Group, which will be updated annually going forward. The emissions data for the baseline reporting period (FY23-24) is reported in accordance with the GHG Protocol. The data includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. | |
| Emission Source | Emissions (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | 127.40 |
| Scope 2 (Location-Based) | 32.34 |
| Scope 3(Subcategories 4,5,6,7) | 53.15 |

5. Emissions Reduction Targets
The chart below visualises our emission reduction targets over time, aiming for a total reduction of 212.89 tCO2e by 2050, staying within the green area which represents a reduction pathway compatible with science-based targets for a 1.5°C warming scenario. As future progress is reported, it will be tracked along the chart.
