Brookson Group Limited (which includes Brookson Limited, Brookson Solutions Limited (trading as Brookson One), Brookson Construction, Brookson CIS Solutions Limited, +Us Workforce Services Limited, Brookson Legal Services Limited, Brookson Financial Services Limited, Intouch Accounting Limited, Boomerang Support Services Limited and Brookson Projects Limited), is committed to supporting the UK’s Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) which is a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Due to the nature of the services provided by +Us, we recognise that we can not achieve this net zero carbon emissions target on our own. We need our entire supply chain to support this. However, we continue to implement initiatives to achieve our goal to reduce carbon emissions across the business.

Commitment to achieving Net Zero
+Us is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. We recognise the importance of addressing climate change are actively working towards the reduction of our environmental impact.

Current Group Intensity Ratio
Our Current Group Intensity Ratio for Brookson Group (kgCO2e per £1,000 of annual revenue) is:

0.45

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: 2019
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting for period October 2019 to September 2020 provided our baseline calculations for direct scope 1 and indirect scope 2 emissions and marked the first year that our Group Intensity Ratio of 1.18 (kgCO2e per £1,000 of annual revenue) was reported in our Year End Report and Financial Statements.
Baseline year emissions:
EMISSIONS	TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1	157,165 kgCO2e
Scope 2	109,672 kgCO2e
Scope 3 (Included Sources)	Not recorded in baseline year
Total Emissions	266,837 kgCO2e

Current Emissions Reporting

Reporting Year: 2024
EMISSIONS	TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1	3,578 kgCO2e
Scope 2	25,706 kgCO2e
Scope 3 (Included Sources)	199,860 kgCO2e
Total Emissions	229,144 tCO2e

Carbon reduction targets
Over the past 6 years, +Us (as part of the wider Brookson Group) has worked hard to reduce Brookson Group’s carbon footprint from 266,837 kgCO2e down to 229,144 kgCO2e (a reduction of 14.1%). Whilst we do not expect to see a similar steep reduction over the next 5 years, we continue with our commitment for reduction and we are exploring further initiatives to support our goal.

In order to continue our progress to achieving net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

+Us and the wider Brookson Group project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next fifteen years to 50,000 tCO2e by 2040. This is a reduction of 78.2% from our 2024 position (81.3% from our initial total). To achieve this, we have implemented, or are in the process of implementing the following:

+Us and the wider Brookson Group have been working with Brownlow Utilities for a number of years to support our journey in measuring and reducing our carbon footprint. We intend to continue with this partnership to achieve our net zero carbon goals.

Brookson/+Us measures its carbon footprint/emissions annually when complying with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirements. Included in our reporting is scope 1, 2, and scope 3 (business travel in employee’s own vehicles) emissions. Our latest SECR reporting period was January to December 2024.

Brookson/+Us also complies with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). We completed our ESOS Phase 3 Compliance Submission in 2024 and published our ESOS Phase 3 Action Plan with the Environment Agency in 2025. Our Action Plan is based on the ESOS audit recommendations and is subject to regular progress updates, the first of which is due by 5th December 2025.

Promote remote work: Encourage telecommuting and virtual meetings to reduce employee commuting emissions.

Optimise transportation: Prioritise the use of low-emission vehicles for company travel and logistics operations. Explore options for electric or hybrid vehicles.
Energy efficiency: Implement energy-saving measures in office buildings, such as LED lighting, smart thermostats, and energy-efficient appliances.

Waste reduction: Minimise paper usage through digital document management systems. Implement recycling programs for office waste and encourage employees to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Sustainable procurement: Partner with suppliers who prioritise sustainability and offer eco-friendly products and services.

Offer our employees the ability to lease electric vehicles for business and private use.

+Us will regularly monitor and report on our carbon emissions and progress towards our reduction targets. Emissions data will be collected and analysed annually, with regular Carbon Reduction Reporting being available upon request.

By implementing this Carbon Reduction Plan, +Us (as part of the Brookson Group) is taking proactive steps towards achieving our net zero carbon emissions goal. We recognise the importance of sustainability in our operations and are committed to making a positive impact on our environment.

Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2019 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 37,693 tCO2e, a 14.1% reduction against the 2019 baseline and these measures will be in effect when performing our contracts with clients and customers.

+Us and Brookson Group will continue to measure its carbon footprint/emissions annually when complying with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirements.

+Us and Brookson Group will also continue to comply with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) completing reports as required.

Following the introduction of remote working and the use of telecommuting and virtual meetings to reduce employee commuting emissions, we will continue with this method of working as long as it continues to be appropriate for our customers and clients.

Optimise transportation by encouraging employees to use public transport for client meetings as much as possible.

Waste reduction by continuing to minimise paper usage through digital document management systems. Implement recycling programs for office waste and encourage employees to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Sustainable procurement by partnering with suppliers who prioritise sustainability and offer eco-friendly products and services.

Offer our employees the ability to lease electric vehicles for business and private use.

+Us and Brookson Group will regularly monitor and report on our carbon emissions and progress towards our reduction targets. Emissions data will be collected and analysed annually, with regular Carbon Reduction Reporting being available upon request.

In the future we hope to implement further measures to support our journey to net zero.
