Commitment to Achieving Net Zero
Alert-iT Care Alarms is committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions from our UK operations by 2035.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Our baseline assessment reflects emissions from activities over which we have direct operational control, aligned with the GHG Protocol.
Baseline year: 2024/25
| Emissions Source | Scope |
| Gas usage (space heating) | Scope 1 |
| Company vehicles | Scope 1 |
| Purchased electricity | Scope 2 |
| Business travel | Scope 3 |
| Waste generated | Scope 3 |
Baseline emissions have been established using utility bills, mileage records, and supplier invoices. Data accuracy will be improved annually as part of our continuous improvement approach.
Current Emissions Reporting (2025/26)
As an SME, we are not required to publish full SECR reporting. However, we voluntarily monitor and review emissions annually for the purposes of procurement transparency and continuous improvement.
Emissions Reduction Targets
| Target Date | Reduction Goal |
| 2027 | 15–20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions |
| 2030 | 40–50% reduction in total operational emissions |
| 2035 | Net Zero operational emissions |
Carbon Reduction Projects
Measures Implemented (Completed)
The business has already implemented several material energy-efficiency measures:
- 100% LED lighting installed throughout all premises
- Modern energy-efficient windows with full draught proofing
- Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) fitted to all radiators
- Individual room temperature control
- Maximum set-point limits applied
- Improved thermal comfort and reduced energy demand
These completed measures represent a significant reduction in electricity and heating demand and demonstrate early adoption of carbon-efficient practices.
Planned Measures (2026–2030)
Energy & Heat Optimisation
- Move to 100% renewable electricity tariff
- Monitor smart meter data to identify inefficient usage
- Introduce automated shutdown of non-essential equipment
- Annual review of boiler efficiency and flow temperature
- Seasonal optimisation of heating schedules
Estimated impact: Medium
Implementation period: 0–12 months
Transport & Travel
- Hybrid / remote working adopted where roles permit
- Transition company vehicles to electric or hybrid at renewal/start
- Preference for rail over car travel
- Reduction of single-occupancy journeys
- Video conferencing used as default for external meetings
Estimated impact: High
Implementation period: 6–24 months
Waste & Resource Use
- Digital-first approach to reduce paper usage
- Improved recycling signage and staff guidance
- Elimination of single-use plastics where possible
- Annual review of waste volumes and recycling rates
Estimated impact: Medium
Implementation period: Immediate and ongoing
Sustainable Procurement
- Preference for local and low-carbon suppliers
- Sustainability considered during supplier selection
- Consolidation of deliveries to reduce transport emissions
Estimated impact: Medium
Implementation period: 12–24 months
Carbon Offsetting
Where emissions cannot be eliminated through operational changes, the business will use verified carbon offsetting as a last resort. Offsetting will not replace active emissions reduction measures.
Monitoring & Governance
- Emissions reviewed annually against baseline
- Progress tracked by senior management
- Carbon Reduction Plan reviewed and updated annually
- Responsibility assigned to senior leadership
