Commitment to achieving net zero
Atlas FM 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: 2023
Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations:

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 in Scope 1&2 will decrease over the next five years to 750 tCO2e by 2031. This is a reduction of 57%. By 2034
Carbon reduction projects
Completed carbon reduction initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2023 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 257.3 tCO2e, a 32% reduction of our scope 2 emissions and a 50% reduction of our scope 3 business travel emissions against the 2023 baseline the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.

Future carbon reduction initiatives
In the future, we hope to implement further measures such as:
- To reduce emissions from company-owned vehicles, Atlas FM will continue to transition fleet to lower gCO2e/km and roll out trackers to all company owned vehicles to optimise use. We will transition all company-owned cars to EV by 2030 and reach 63% reduction in overall emissions by 2035. The transition to electric vans with current costs and range poses challenges to our current operation. Due to this, our long-term target is to reach 100% EV fleet by 2040. However, with investment in EV technology seen throughout 2024, with a 38% increase in EV charging points across the UK and the opportunity to explore other sources of energy, such as hydrogen, we endeavour to transition away from ICE vehicles before our 2040 target.
- Atlas FM has several offices located near each other due to acquisitions, so we aim to reduce the number of offices and create regional hubs for staff to use to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 facilities emissions.
- Calculate GHG emissions associated with Scope 3 in more detail in future assessments. To gain accurate data, aim to use supplier activity data rather than spend-based analysis.
- Atlas has an acquisitive growth model, and recent acquisitions have influenced GHG inventory. To capture accurate data from the day of acquisition and ensure reporting timelines are established, look to factor emissions data into the onboarding process.
- We will use our carbon accounting platform Normative to enhance supplier engagement to:
- monitor their progress and incorporate sustainability into Pre-Qualification Questionnaires and onboarding process.
- Assess suppliers’ future sustainability targets to understand how they will influence supply chain emissions.
Business Travel: Continue to work to replace frequency of short-haul flights and car travel to rail journeys where possible to reduce emissions associated with business travel. Encourage Octopus EV car scheme uptake for workforce.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 006 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.
Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard[footnote 13] and uses the appropriate government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.[footnote 14]
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements (where required), and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.[footnote 15]
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
