Carbon Reduction Plan
Prepared in accordance with PPN 006 (06/21) Carbon Reduction Report
Our commitment
December19 Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040, in accordance with the SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard. We commit to a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040 from our 2025 baseline, with residual emissions offset.
Baseline emissions
Our baseline year is 2025 (January-December 2025), measured using the Seedling platform and verified against the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard using DEFRA conversion factors. Total emissions: 3,371.56 tCO₂e (Scope 1: 0.30 tCO₂e, Scope 2: 1.46 tCO₂e, Scope 3: 3,369.79 tCO₂e). The dominant source is Scope 3 category 3.1 - purchased goods and services (media buying activity) at 3,348.66 tCO₂e, representing 99.3% of our total footprint. Within operational emissions, business travel (8.01 tCO₂e) and employee commuting (7.39 tCO₂e) are the largest contributors.
Reduction targets
Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2040 from our 2025 baseline (SBTi Net Zero target)
Reduce Scope 3 emissions intensity (per £m revenue) by 97% by 2050 from our 2025 baseline
Achieve projected 10.85% total reduction by 2030 (2.32% annual reduction) as an interim milestone
