Carbon Reduction Plan
Supplier name: Simulation Collective
Publication date: 11th August 2026
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Simulation Collective is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, however, to fall in line with the NHS, we will endeavour to bring the emissions we control directly to reach net zero by 2040, however we share the interim ambition to:
- 80% reduction in directly controlled emissions by 2028–2032
- 80% reduction in influenced emissions by 2036–2039
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: April 2024 / March 2025
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
This was the first year that Simulation Collective are submitting a formal carbon reduction Plan although we have been aware of the need to limit GHG usage in the past.
Data for Scopes 1 and 3 have been calculated using the emission data on the Government website https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax and the Office of Rail and Road Rail Emissions report. Scope 2 data has been calculated using the SSE Energy Solutions carbon footprint calculator.
Various projects (see below) will hopefully lead to a reduction in the carbon footprint, but this will be complicated by the fact that we are actively recruiting to cater for increased business.
| Emissions | TOTAL (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 0.00 - This reflects the company car used by the MD which is electric, so therefore it does NOT produce direct emissions from fuel combustion. There are no other Scope 1 emissions as the heating for the premises derives from a shared Basepoint boiler run by the landlords across the site and is added to the monthly rent. |
| Scope 2 | 0.21 - This reflects electricity usage at the company headquarters and that used by employees when working from home. |
| Scope 3 (Included Sources) | 0.46 - Emissions within this scope are commuting by car, business usage of own cars and rail travel. It does not include and emissions under upstream or downstream transportation/distribution nor waste generation. This is because we are a Medical Simulation company and no carbon-generating product. |
| Total | 0.67 |

| Scope 3 (Included Sources) | 2.16 - Emissions within this scope are commuting by car, business usage of own cars and rail travel. It does not include and emissions under upstream or downstream transportation/distribution nor waste generation. This is because we are a consultancy and manufacture no carbon-generating product. |

Current Emissions Reporting
Reporting Year: April 2026 / March 2027 (Please note the current sheet/year will be updated monthly until 31st March 2027 where it will be closed off for the year.
| Emissions | TOTAL (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 0.00 - Simulation Collective has no Scope 1 emissions under its operational control. The company does not purchase or combust natural gas or other fuels at its premises, does not operate the building’s heating system, and its company vehicle is fully electric. The premises are rented from MCR Property Group, which controls the shared heating system and includes utilities within the rent. We have requested apportioned energy-consumption information from the landlord so that any relevant indirect emissions can be included under Scope 2 or Scope 3, as appropriate. |
| Scope 2 | 0.58 - This reflects electricity usage at the company headquarters and that used by employees when working from home. |
| Scope 3 (Included Sources) | 0.92 - Emissions within this scope are commuting by car, business usage of own cars and rail travel. It does not include and emissions under upstream or downstream transportation/distribution nor waste generation. This is because we are a consultancy and manufacture no carbon-generating product. |
| Total | 1.50 (Up to and including the 31st July 2025) |
Comment
During this reporting period the number of employees has increased from the 2024/25 baseline of 2 to the present 3 and is increase again in August 2026 and it is hoped that in the near future we will grow again.
This reflects success in employees transiting to power savings devices at home and the employment of staff closer to the client sites where they are expected to work.
Emissions reduction targets
We will endeavour to decrease our carbon emissions over the next five years with the following recommendations:
Reduce Scope 2 emissions by at least 20% by 2029 through energy efficiency measures and purchasing renewable electricity where possible.
Achieve a 10% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2029 by engaging suppliers and encouraging sustainable practices in our supply chain.
Maintain Scope 1 emissions at zero, aiming to transition any future company vehicles to electric or low-emission alternatives.
Regularly review and update targets to reflect company growth (expected increase to 5-6 staff) and operational changes, ensuring continuous improvement.
We will monitor progress annually and update our Carbon Reduction Plan accordingly.
Carbon Reduction Projects
The following environmental management measures and projects are envisaged over the next few years to reduce from the 2024/25 baseline.
- Reduce the need for travel by greater use of remote working.
- Employ new staff who live close to locations where delivery of work is required (all else being equal).
- Encourage staff to use greener domestic energy sources and transition to greener transport.
Declaration and Sign Off
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 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 standard1 and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting2.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, 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) Standard3.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
