Commitment to achieving Net Zero
European Electronique Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases produced before the introduction of strategies to reduce emissions. They are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
| Baseline Year: 01/04/20 – 31/03/21 (FY21) |
| Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. |
| In our baseline year we were measuring all scope 1 & 2 emissions but only Transmission & Distribution losses for electricity from scope 3. |
| Baseline year emissions: |
| EMISSIONS | TOTAL (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | Company Vehicle use 81.14 Gas use 1.17 Total Scope 1 82.30 |
| Scope 2 | Electricity use 47.72 |
| Scope 3 (Included Sources) | Electricity T&D Losses 4.10 Total 4.10 |
| Total Emissions | 134.13 |
Current Emissions Reporting

| Total Emissions | 194.663 |
Commuting data is based on voluntary staff surveys. As not all staff responded, the results were scaled to estimate the full workforce and are subject to uncertainty.
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 154.505 tCO2e by the end of FY30. This represents a reduction of approximately 20.6% from the FY26 reported total of 194.663 tCO2e.
The current reporting boundary is broader than the FY21 baseline. Direct comparisons should therefore take account of the expanded Scope 3 reporting boundary.
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the FY21 baseline. The initiatives have reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by approximately 88.31 tCO2e, equivalent to approximately 67.9% against the FY21 Scope 1 and Scope 2 total. The measures remain in effect and will apply when performing the contract.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed
- Replaced first-floor and ground-floor lighting with LED lighting, including sensor controls where appropriate.
- Isolated night-storage heaters and installed heat-pump heating in operational areas.
- Reduced office opening hours and continued hybrid working arrangements.
- Introduced packaging reuse, paperless working and improved waste segregation and recycling.
- Installed two dual electric-vehicle charging points in the company car park.
- In FY26, four of the six company-owned vehicles were fully electric, representing 66% of the company-owned fleet.
- Maintained an ISO 14001-certified Environmental Management System.
European Electronique Ltd has implemented a range of environmental measures that continue to reduce operational emissions and support continual improvement under its Environmental Management System.
Energy efficiency and buildings
- 2017/18: Removed gas heating from the warehouse and replaced it with heated office accommodation.
- 2017/18: Replaced first-floor lighting with sensor-controlled LED lighting.
- 2020/21: Replaced ground-floor lighting with LED lighting.
- 2020/21: Isolated all night-storage heaters to prevent unnecessary energy use.
- 2021/22: Reduced office opening hours by 1.5 hours per day.
- 2022/23: Installed heat-pump heating in the main service office on the ground floor.
- 2022/23: Replaced convector heaters with heat-pump heating in the ground-floor staff breakout room.
- 2024/25: Replaced external building floodlights with LED lighting.
Waste and resource efficiency
- 2018/19: Introduced a policy of reusing supplier packaging rather than purchasing new packaging.
- 2019/20: Began the transition towards a paperless office.
- 2025/26: Removal of waste bins from desk areas to encourage waste reduction and improve recycling.
- 2025/26: For one of our major customers, we remove all packaging prior to delivery and reuse it wherever possible, helping to reduce waste and minimise environmental impact.
Travel, fleet and working practices
- 2021/22: Electric and hybrid vehicles represented 4.3% of the fleet.
- 2022/23: Continued hybrid working arrangements established during the pandemic, reducing commuting requirements.
- 2022/23: Installed a dual electric-vehicle charging point in the company car park.
- 2022/23: Electric and hybrid vehicles represented 6.3% of the fleet.
- 2023/24: Electric and hybrid vehicles represented 26.7% of the fleet.
- 2024/25: Three of the seven company-owned vehicles were fully electric, representing 43% of the company-owned fleet.
- 2025/26: Installed additional dual electric-vehicle charging point in the company car park.
- 2025/26: Four of the six company-owned vehicles were fully electric, representing 66% of the company-owned fleet.
Carbon Reduction Strategy
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
- Reduce avoidable energy use and consider energy efficiency when purchasing or replacing electrical equipment.
- Continue reducing average fleet emissions and use alternatives to business travel where practicable.
- Replace company vehicles with battery-electric alternatives unless operational constraints make this impracticable.
- Replace remaining gas-fired water heating with an electric heat-pump or another suitable low-carbon alternative where viable.
- Work with employees to support lower-carbon commuting and with suppliers and partners to reduce supply-chain waste and emissions.
- Measure, review and manage residual Scope 3 emissions as reporting boundaries, methodologies and data quality mature.
European Electronique Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The strategy prioritises direct emissions reduction, improved operational efficiency, lower-carbon technology and responsible working practices. Progress will be reviewed as data quality, technology, government policy and reporting methodologies develop.
Short-term priorities: immediate to 2030
Consistent with this approach we will:
- Reduce avoidable energy use by switching off equipment where there is no business benefit in leaving it operational.
- Consider energy efficiency and environmental impact when purchasing or replacing electrical equipment, alongside operational and commercial requirements.
- Minimise gas use by preventing unnecessary hot-water consumption.
- Continue reducing average fleet emissions and consider alternatives to business travel where practicable.
- Apply the waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle and recover before disposal.
- Continue challenging existing practices to identify opportunities to reduce wasted energy and materials.
Medium-term priorities: to 2035
- Replace company vehicles with battery-electric alternatives unless operational constraints make this impracticable.
- Replace remaining gas-fired water heating with an electric heat-pump or another suitable low-carbon alternative if no viable green gas option is available.
- Continue investing in energy-efficient equipment and infrastructure.
- Review the effect of UK electricity-grid decarbonisation on Scope 2 emissions and electricity transmission and distribution losses.
- The medium-term objective is to eliminate or substantially reduce controllable Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2035. Achievement will depend partly on the availability of suitable technologies and the pace of electricity-grid decarbonisation.
Long-term priorities: 2035 to 2050
- Work with employees to support lower-carbon commuting and monitor changes as electric vehicles become more widely adopted.
- After 2040, authorise business mileage in private vehicles only where the vehicle is electric or uses another suitable low-carbon technology, subject to operational requirements.
- Work with suppliers and partners to reduce waste and emissions across the supply chain.
- Continue segregating recyclable waste streams and preventing avoidable water use.
- Measure, review and manage residual Scope 3 emissions as the reporting boundary and data quality mature.
