Carbon Reduction Plan
1. Commitment to achieving Net Zero
The carbon reduction plan for Zellis Group (Zellis, Moorepay, and Benifex) is designed in line with the UK Government’s Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21.
Net-Zero Target: Zellis Holdings Limited commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2040.
Near-Term Targets: Zellis Holdings Limited commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 58.8% by FY2034 from a FY2024 base year. Zellis Holdings Limited also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 58.8% within the same time frame.
2. 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: 1st May 2023 – 30th April 2024 | |

5. Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the FY2024 baseline.
- Moving to 100% renewable energy in offices where we control the procurement of energy.
- Having our Net Zero and emission reduction targets validated by the SBTi.
