Carbon Reduction Plan
JRM Godden Associates Ltd
Publication date: 27th March 2026
 
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
JRM Godden Associates Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
 
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in
the past and were produced before the introduction of any strategies to reduce
emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions
reduction can be measured.
 

Baseline Year: 2022

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.

Our UK Emissions were first assessed in 2022 in Partnership with Lloyds Bank and their Net Zero Club (run by Energise). Original data is detailed below.

Our present values are now assessed with our Partnership Consultancy “Climate Partner”, with our latest report published in March 2026.

This Carbon Reduction is issued based on the above data and will be updated annually.

Emissions reduction targets
Our Action areas and steps as we begin our drive for emissions reduction are:
  1. ) Continuous development of travel & waste policies to develop detailed targets,
  2. ) Logistics – Liaise with the Sea, Rail & Road Freight Industry for “best practice”,
  3. ) Data Improvements – to increase the detail of data at all levels,
  4. ) Carbon Footprint tracking – to understand and push our targets,
  5. ) Adoption of science-based target – with leading supply chain consultants,
  6. ) Purchase of renewable energy – education and change when available,
  7. ) Improved energy efficiency of all buildings, assets and through the supply chain,
  8. ) Electrify heating systems – to move away from gas,
  9. ) Electrify car fleet – hybrid to electric and to haulage distribution in time,
  10. ) Reduce travel – review where travel is “really necessary” – better alternatives?
  11. ) Engage further with our supply chain from Vineyard to School delivery,
  12. ) Understand our climate risks – impacts, alternatives and reduction plans,
  13. ) Challenge and streamline all processes, and
  14. ) Challenge and reduce all and any wastage
In order to continue our progress toward achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
 
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 41CO²e by 2029. This is a reduction of 24%.
 

Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below: March 2026

 
Carbon Reduction Projects
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been
implemented since the 2022 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equates to 11.55tCO²e, a 21% reduction against the 2022 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract, AND BEYOND.
To date, we have;
  1. ) Engaged with consultants to contract and commit to SBTI (through Energise and Climate Partnership – with the right partnership company being sourced in the UK and Turkey* to embrace our whole supply chain)
  2. ) In Turkey, we are working with our supply chain partners to work to the same parameters from Farm to UK delivery.
  3. ) Car Policy moved from diesel to hybrid – and then Electric by 2030
  4. ) Office heating moved to Electric with all appliances now under review,
  5. ) Reduced travel – road and air – to where “necessary only”,
  6. ) Greater use of video conferencing – throughout the supply chain,
  7. ) We and our supply chain are embracing ISO 14001 developments,
  8. ) Greater use of Rail freight and amalgamation loading for full loads
 
In the future, we hope to implement further measures such as:
  1. ) Increased education and dialogue with our subcontract shipping lines to understand present and future options of alternative energy,
  2. ) Encourage and witness further evolution of our supply chain solar power projects in Turkey. With the increased roof coverage of solar panels at our Turkish packer, we are now a net provider rather than consumer of electricity (achieved during 2025) and will be extending this to other areas.
