Pioneer FM’s Commitment to Carbon Reduction
Pioneer FM is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the 1.5°C climate target. Our approach focuses on measurable, science-aligned reductions across all scopes of emissions, including direct operations, travel, and supply chain impacts.
We aim to reduce our total emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to our 2024 baseline.
Emissions Baseline
Our baseline year is calendar year 2024, the first full year with accurate measurement across all emission scopes.
Emissions Reduction Targets
| Emissions Scope | Total (tCO₂e) |
| Scope 1 (Direct emissions) | 8.656 |
| Scope 2 (Electricity use) | 2.223 |
| Scope 3 (Indirect emissions incl. travel, procurement, waste) | 42.981 |
| Total | 53.86 tCO₂e |
Emissions Reduction Targets
| Year | Target Emissions (tCO₂e) | Reduction from 2024 Baseline |
| 2025 | 48 tCO₂e | 11% |
| 2030 | 27 tCO₂e | 50% |
We will update our reduction targets annually to reflect improvements in our data and operational capacity.
Carbon Reduction Measures
Measures already implemented:
- Operate a fully electric fleet, eliminating conventional vehicle emissions.
- Use digital-first practices to cut down on paper and resource use.
- Track and monitor emissions using the SME Climate Hub and Defra/BEIS conversion factors.
Planned measures:
- Introduce a low-carbon procurement policy for services, equipment, and materials.
- Partner with suppliers who demonstrate strong environmental credentials.
- Implement enhanced waste management and recycling practices on client sites.
- Provide carbon literacy training for internal teams and subcontractors.
- Publish annual carbon updates and review progress toward the 2030 target.
Offsetting Commitment
In addition to reducing our operational emissions, Pioneer FM is committed to offsetting 100% of our measured annual emissions through credible, independently verified offset projects. These may include UK-based schemes and those with social and biodiversity co-benefits.
Furthermore, we aim to go beyond carbon neutrality by voluntarily offsetting more than we emit each year. This proactive approach supports our ambition to be a climate-positive business while we continue to drive internal reductions.
Declaration and Sign-Off
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been approved by the Board of Directors and will be reviewed annually.
