Commitment
Practices & perspective
“. * Our carbon emissions for FY25 decreased by 17% compared to FY24. Electricity consumption was reduced by 27%, primarily due to moving to reducing communal electricity use in addition to our efforts to manage the heating and cooling system efficiently which has also reduced energy consumption. This was achieved via promoting the use of natural ventilation to limit the use of air conditioning and heating in line with the building design. Our emissions associated with Capital Goods saw a significant decrease of 94% in FY25 compared to FY24, largely due to no significant changes in the office over the prior 12 months and the efforts used to use refurbished equipment. Business Travel emissions also dropped by 40% this year, as Acclaro continues to encourage the use of public transport over car travel and promotes online meetings wherever possible. Emissions from commuting and working from home decreased by 24%, partly due to a 14% decrease in full-time employees and a reduction in team members living further afield. We have also implemented a no company car policy which has eradicated our Scope 1 emissions. Due to being tenants in the buildings we have used and that we have implemented several plans in the past, further reductions become a greater challenge moving forward.”

Country grid context · United Kingdom · 2024
Coal-free since Sep 2024; wind-led grid.
Source: Ember Yearly Electricity Data (CC BY 4.0). For SMEs, the grid carbon intensity is the dominant lever on Scope 2 emissions — switching to a renewable tariff is often the single biggest cut available.
Renewable transition options· 4 MWh annual load · 0% renewable today
What it would realistically take to move 4 MWh of remaining electricity to renewable sources, given typical SME options + market-specific costs in this country. Numbers are indicative — a real proposal needs a quote from a local installer or supplier.
Sign with a green-energy supplier (Guarantees of Origin / REGOs backing). No capex; pricing is tied to a small premium over your current standard tariff. Best when paired with on-site reductions to keep total bill manageable.
Install a 5 kW rooftop PV system (sized to match annual consumption). Yields ~5 MWh/year in GB — close to total annual use. Net-metering / export tariff supports the payback. Real proposal needs a roof survey + planning check.
Several brokers (e.g. SmartestEnergy, Statkraft, Centrica) now offer aggregator " + "PPAs that pool SMEs to reach the ~5 GWh/year minimum. Typical contract length 5–10 years. Pricing usually below standard tariff; protects against grid-tariff inflation.
Direct PPAs require a buyer to commit to ~5–50 GWh/year over 10+ years. Any SME at <100 MWh annual consumption can't access this market directly. Out of scope for this firm.
Cost ranges are 2025-ish published market data. Premiums + capex move with energy prices and policy. Best approach for most SMEs: certified renewable tariff first (cheap, fast), then on-site solar if roof + capital allow. PPAs need ≥1 GWh/year volume to access directly — aggregators are starting to bridge this for smaller users.
