Our baseline emissions are calculated using data from our operations in the year 2024, the first year that our company employed a full team.

Baseline Year: 2024

• Scope 1 (Direct emissions): 0.65 tCO2e

• Scope 2 (Energy-related emissions): 0.12 tCO2e

• Scope 3 (Indirect emissions): 1.15 tCO2e

Current/Most Recent Reporting Year: Financial Year ended April 2026

• Scope 1 (Direct emissions): 0.00 tCO2e

• Scope 2 (Energy indirect emissions): 0.36 tCO2e

• Scope 3 (Other indirect emissions): 71.45 tCO2e

• Total: 71.81 tCO2e

The significant increase from previously reported figures (2.27 tCO2e) is due to an improved calculation methodology, not a change in operations. This year we have adopted the full DEFRA homeworking emission factor for all remote workers and now include subcontracted project delivery costs within Scope 3 Category 1, in line with GHG Protocol guidance. These items were not fully captured in earlier reports. Our operational footprint (direct energy use and business travel) remains very low.

As a fully remote consultancy with no premises or company vehicles, the majority of our emissions arise from our supply chain and homeworking.

• Scope Category tCO2e % of Total Scope 1 Direct emissions 0.00 0%

• Scope 2 Homeworking equipment (electricity) 0.36 0.5%

• Scope 3, Cat 1 Purchased Goods & Services 66.67 92.8%

• Scope 3, Cat 3 Fuel & Energy-Related Activities (WTT) 0.05 0.1%

• Scope 3, Cat 5 Waste Generated in Operations 0.01 0.0%

• Scope 3, Cat 6 Business Travel 0.81 1.1%

• Scope 3, Cat 7 Employee Commuting (Homeworking) 3.91 5.4%

• Total 71.81 100%

Scope 1 is zero as BlueprintCo has no company vehicles and no owned or leased premises with combustion sources.

Scope 2 is calculated using a homeworking equipment proxy (laptop, monitor, and peripherals) and the UK grid electricity factor, using the location-based method.

Scope 3 Category 1 represents our largest source of emissions and includes subcontracted project delivery costs, in line with GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1 guidance. This reflects our delivery model as a consultancy that engages specialist subcontracted resource.

Scope 3 Category 7 uses the DEFRA homeworking emission factor (0.33378 kgCO2e per hour per person), covering heating, lighting, and equipment for home-office workers.

Emissions are calculated using the DEFRA 2025 UK Government Conversion Factors for Company Reporting. We use:

• Spend-based emission factors for Scope 3 Categories 1 and 6

• The DEFRA homeworking emission factor for Scope 2 and Category 7

• The UK grid electricity factor (location-based) for Scope 2

The significant increase from previous reported figures reflects a methodological improvement. We now apply the full DEFRA homeworking factor and include subcontracted project costs in Scope 3 Category 1, providing a more complete and defensible picture of our emissions.

We aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 by reducing our emissions and offsetting any remaining carbon output. Our reduction targets include:

• Supply Chain Engagement: Working with subcontractors and suppliers to understand and reduce their emissions. As Category 1 represents over 92% of our footprint, supply chain engagement is our primary lever for reduction.

• Business Travel: Limiting business travel by prioritising virtual meetings and offsetting the emissions from necessary travel.

• Energy Use: Encouraging the use of renewable energy tariffs for home offices and reducing energy consumption through efficient equipment.

• Waste Reduction: Maintaining minimal waste generation through our fully remote operating model.

We review these targets annually and make necessary adjustments based on progress and feedback from stakeholders.

To achieve carbon neutrality, we will:

• Supply Chain: Engage with our key subcontractors on their own carbon reduction plans and factor environmental performance into procurement decisions.

• Energy Efficiency: Provide guidance to remote employees on reducing home-office energy consumption, including encouraging renewable energy tariffs.

• Travel Reduction: Continue to utilise video conferencing and collaborative tools as our primary means of engagement. When travel is unavoidable, we will offset the emissions.

• Employee Engagement: Raise awareness about sustainability within our team and encourage employees to reduce their personal carbon footprints in their home office environments.

• Carbon Offsetting: For any remaining emissions, we will invest in high-quality carbon offset programmes that support reforestation and renewable energy projects.

We assess our carbon emissions annually using financial year data from our accounts, aligned with DEFRA conversion factors. This Carbon Reduction Plan is updated and published each year.

We will:

• Maintain records of our emissions data and calculation methodology.

• Monitor the effectiveness of our reduction measures, particularly supply chain engagement.

• Report on our carbon reduction progress to stakeholders, including clients and employees.
