Carbon Reduction Plan
NET ZERO COMMITMENT
Commitment to Achieving Net Zero
Thalion Tech Ltd is a specialist defence consultancy incorporated on 12 July 2025. We recognise the importance of environmental sustainability and our responsibility to minimise our impact on the climate. Although our emissions are minimal due to our services-based operating model, we are committed to measuring, reporting, and reducing our carbon footprint in line with government requirements and the UK’s net zero ambitions.
BASELINE EMISSIONS
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 Period | |
|---|---|
| Baseline year | 2025/26 (12 July 2025 – 30 June 2026) |
| Additional details | This is Thalion Tech Ltd's first reporting period and therefore serves as the baseline year. The company is a two-person, home-based consultancy with no company-owned premises, vehicles, or manufacturing operations. Emissions have been estimated using UK Government conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting (2025). As a newly incorporated company with a partial trading year, figures represent estimated annualised emissions. |
Baseline Year Emissions
| Emissions Source | Total (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 — Direct emissions (company-owned vehicles, gas heating, on-site fuel combustion) | 0.00 |
| Scope 2 — Indirect emissions (purchased electricity, heat, steam, cooling for own use) | 0.00 |
| Scope 3 — Other indirect emissions (included sources) | 0.28 |
| Category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution | 0.00 |
| Category 5: Waste generated in operations | 0.01 |
| Category 6: Business travel | 0.25 |
| Category 7: Employee commuting | 0.02 |
| Category 9: Downstream transportation and distribution | 0.00 |
| Total Emissions | 0.28 |
Explanatory notes: Thalion Tech Ltd operates as a fully home-based professional services consultancy. The company has no owned or leased premises, no company vehicles, and no manufacturing or production activities. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are therefore zero. Scope 3 emissions arise primarily from occasional business travel by car to client and stakeholder meetings. Employee commuting emissions reflect minimal local travel. Waste generated is negligible as the company operates a digital-first model with no physical product or inventory.
Current Reporting
Current Emissions Reporting
| Emissions Source | Total (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Reporting Year: 2025/26 | |
| Scope 1 | 0.00 |
| Scope 2 | 0.00 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 0.28 |
| Total Emissions | 0.28 |
As 2025/26 is Thalion Tech Ltd’s first year of operation, current emissions are identical to the baseline. Future annual reports will show progress against this baseline.
TARGETS
Emissions Reduction Targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:
- By 2028: Reduce total emissions to 0.20 tCO2e or below — a reduction of approximately 29% against the 2025/26 baseline — primarily through transitioning business travel to electric vehicles and rail.
- By 2030: Reduce total emissions to 0.10 tCO2e or below — a reduction of approximately 64% against baseline — through continued adoption of low-carbon travel and fully digital operations.
- By 2050: Achieve net zero emissions across all scopes, with any residual emissions offset through verified carbon offset programmes.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 0.15 tCO2e by 2031. This is a reduction of approximately 46%.
COMPLETED INITIATIVES
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the incorporation of the company:
- Fully remote working model: Thalion Tech Ltd was established as a home-based business from inception, eliminating commuting emissions and the energy consumption associated with dedicated office premises.
- Digital-first operations: All company operations, documentation, communication, and collaboration are conducted digitally. The company has no printing, paper filing, or physical document storage, virtually eliminating waste from operations.
- Cloud-based infrastructure: The company uses Microsoft 365 cloud services hosted on Microsoft's UK data centres, which are committed to 100% renewable energy. This avoids emissions from on-premises server infrastructure.
- Local client engagement: Where in-person meetings are required, the directors prioritise local meetings to minimise travel distances and associated emissions.
These measures are inherent to the company’s operating model and will continue to be in effect when performing any contracts.
Future Carbon Reduction Initiatives
In the future, we plan to implement further measures including:
- Electric vehicle transition: As business travel increases with contract awards, the directors will transition to electric or hybrid vehicles for client meetings and site visits.
- Rail-first travel policy: Implementing a formal policy to prioritise rail travel over car travel for journeys exceeding 50 miles, where practical.
- Carbon offset programme: Evaluating participation in verified UK-based carbon offset schemes (such as woodland creation) to offset any residual emissions that cannot be eliminated.
- Supply chain engagement: As the company grows and engages subcontractors, we will include carbon reduction expectations in all subcontractor agreements.
- Annual carbon auditing: Committing to an annual review and update of this Carbon Reduction Plan, with emissions tracked against the 2025/26 baseline.
- Green energy procurement: Should the company move to dedicated premises in the future, we will procure 100% renewable electricity and prioritise energy-efficient facilities.
