Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Lifetime Training Group 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: 2022
Reporting period being the calendar year 2022.
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
The Baseline year saw the impact of COVID continue to effect on business operations in part and this essentially reduced the true annualised value of the intensity ratio (per activity / employee) of emissions.
Scope 3 emissions reporting in the baseline year is limited to that associated with business travel undertaken by employees in their own vehicles which is reimbursed by the company. In future years we will look to expand the inclusion of other relevant scope 3 sources and reassess the baseline and plan to drive to Net Zero emissions.

Emissions reduction targets
To meet our target of achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction target.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 977 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 20% from the current reporting year. The baseline year has not been used as reference due to the abnormal lower level due to the travel restrictions associated with COVID.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2022 baseline.
- Introduction of a new software application that underpins the interaction we have with our customers, allowing more remote based delivery as opposed to delivery that requires significant travel to conduct face-to-face interactions.
- The continued use of virtual meeting platforms to ensure meetings can be conducted without the need for significant business travel.
- The transition of our IT infrastructure to a fully cloud based solution as opposed to the historical on-premises server infrastructure; cloud solutions are more energy efficient and significantly reduce electricity consumption to both power and cool the IT environment.
- The adoption of a great degree of homeworking for teams, thus reducing emissions driven by commuting.
- The decommissioning of our diesel-powered fleet vehicles completing in 2024.
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
- The introduction of a Salary Sacrifice Electric Vehicle scheme to support all employees to access electric vehicles in a more cost-effective manner and hence supporting all team members to reduce their own emissions levels.
- Engaging an ESG consultancy to build a full ESG strategy alongside targets and annual actions to ensure we achieve our ESG ambitions and commitments.
