Carbon reduction plan

commitment

Hadean Supercomputing Ltd and subsidiary companies are 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 prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Baseline Period: 2022/2023

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations

Hadean has not previously assessed or reported emissions under Scope 1, 2 or 3 (see below). 

The first full reporting period will be for the financial year to 31 January 2023 which will be the baseline year, since we are yet to complete the full year and have limited data available, no emissions have been calculated. 

Scope 1 – Direct

Company offices: Hadean rents an office in a shared workspace, therefore has no direct impact

Company vehicles: Hadean has no company vehicles, therefore there are no emissions 

Scope 2 – Indirect

Since Hadean are in a shared workspace, we do not purchase any energy or have control over the supplier or source.

Scope 3 – Upstream

Upstream activities affecting Hadean have been identified as:

Scope 3 – Downstream 

No downstream activities have been identified

Emissions reduction targets

Carbon Reduction targets will be set once baseline data is available.

Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Ongoing

ISO14001 

Hadean has implemented Environmental policies, objectives and KPIs in accordance with ISO 14001 and has communicated the importance of the reduction and tracking of our environmental impact to the organisation with the goal for this to be ingrained in the culture.  

An environmental working group has been implemented to drive this message and actions throughout the organisation to bring a business approach to create long-term value with both internal & external impact.

Support for the initiative has been given by the Executive team.

We will continue to monitor and set further, more developed objectives. 

We are yet to have data to report the carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes.

Future Plans

Business Travel

We will review our business travel and assess the need with an aim to reduce the frequency of business travel and continue to use video conferencing where appropriate to do so. Where business travel is essential, we will look for offsetting programs to reduce/ neutralise the carbon impact

Employees will be encouraged to use public transport in favour of cars or flights where possible.

Employee commuting

Hadean is a remote first organisation, this will continue and employees will be reminded of their impact.

Training and Behaviour change

Implementation and roll out of staff training and behaviour change projects to be identified.

Leadership

The Executive team will continue to show support to the plan.
