Carbon Reduction Plan - PPN 06/21
Energy Guardians is here to assist your organization in meeting the HM Government Policy Procurement Requirements (PPN 06/21) by producing a comprehensive Carbon Reduction Plan. After your GHG accounting exercise and SECR reporting, we offer expert advice and support to ensure your documents are accurately created and compliant. Let us guide you through this essential process, helping you contribute to a sustainable future.
It is important for small and medium-sized businesses bidding for public sector work to be aware of the requirements outlined in PPN 06/21. This mandates the production of an annual Carbon Reduction Plan for any major supplier seeking Government contracts valued at £5 million or more. As sustainability becomes increasingly critical in the bidding process, all businesses must adopt practices that demonstrate their commitment to reducing carbon emissions. Preparing a comprehensive carbon report will not only enhance your credibility but also position your business as a responsible and competitive player in the public.
The Carbon Reduction Plan outlines your organization's dedication to reaching net zero emissions by 2050 in the United Kingdom. This essential document includes six key elements:
-
Your commitment to achieving net zero.
-
An assessment of our baseline emissions footprint.
-
Your current emission levels.
-
Specific emission reduction targets.
-
Ongoing carbon reduction projects.
-
A declaration/sign off section.
By transparently sharing this information, we aim to hold ourselves accountable and inspire others to join us on this crucial journey toward sustainability. Together, we can make a significant impact on our environment for future generations.
Requirements for the CRP report includes:
-
Scope 1 emissions that originate from fuel usage in company vehicles, generator usage, onsite heating systems, etc.
-
Scope 2 emissions which are derived from the purchase from electricity.
-
Certain Scope 3 categories such as upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, Business travel, employee commuting and downstream transportation and distribution.
Energy Guardians is here to help your business comply with the outlined requirement in the PPN 06/21.

Following these assessments, we will create a tailored Carbon Reduction Plan to meet the expectations of UK Government suppliers.
The Carbon Reduction Plan (PPN 06/21) reporting exercise is conducted annually, highlighting the significant emission reductions achieved each year. This exercise serves as a valuable tool for progress and demonstrating commitment to sustainability. By showcasing these reductions, organizations can effectively communicate their efforts in combating climate change.
