Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Alchera Data Technologies Ltd 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: 2025
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
Baseline based on financial year 2025 ending February 2025
Baseline year emissions:
EMISSIONS                                   TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1                                         0
Scope 2                                         0
Scope 3
(Included Sources)  14.8
Total Emissions                          14.8

Current Emissions Footprint
Current Year: 2025
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
Financial year 2025 ending February 2025
Current year emissions:
EMISSIONS                                    TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1                                          0
Scope 2                                         0
Scope 3
(Included Sources)   14.8
Total Emissions                          14.8

Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets. We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 10 tCO2e by 2035. This is a reduction of 32%.

Carbon Reduction Projects Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
- Continue to support and encourage hybrid working
- Continue to encourage the use of public transport, in particular trains  

Future carbon reduction initiatives
In the future we hope to implement measures such as:
1. Adoption of greener cloud computing
2. Promotion of greener travel modes
