Carbon Reduction Plan
Fonezone Telecommunications Ltd
Publication date: 15 December 2021

Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Fonezone Telecommunications Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by end of financial year 2030.

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.

Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2021 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 50 tCO2e, a 40%ge reduction against the 2027 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.

We have reduced business travel by conducting most meetings over video calls, some departments have reduced this to be only by video calls. All business travel now must be justified and signed by a director to ensure that this is only done when completely necessary.

We have implemented technical solutions such as zero touch deployment which means that we can fully on-board customers without the need to be on site for them on the days of migration. This also means that their people can have new devices sent directly to them and it is fully functional when they open the box and negates the need for them to travel to a central location to pick up their new device. We have implemented a carbon reduction programme in our offices where we now use LED lamps, provide all our staff with reusable water bottles and have reduced our paper usage to almost zero.

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

• PIR lights in the offices that will only activate when someone is in the office
• Replace the existing heating with an infra-red solution that does not heat the air but objects and therefore is far more efficient.
• Complete our 100% paperless project.

Current Emissions Reporting

Emissions reduction targets
Fonezone Telecommunications Ltd has set a global carbon ambition to be carbon negative in calendar year 2023 and net zero in financial year 2030. To give an indication of direction of travel, to be carbon negative in calendar year 2023 and net zero in financial year 2030, Fonezone Telecommunications Ltd has committed to reducing our absolute emissions by 40% across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by FY2030, against an FY2021 baseline, consistent with a 1.5°c science-based target, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

Carbon Reduction Projects
Fonezone Telecommunications Ltd has set a carbon ambition to be carbon negative in calendar year 2023 and net zero in financial year 2030 with science-based targets set at a global level.

To give an indication of direction of travel, Fonezone Telecommunications Ltd will achieve its newly announced carbon negative and net zero targets by:

1. Reducing business travel emissions by a further 25% by FY2025 against a FY2017 baseline and achieve net zero in FY2025
2. Reducing office electricity usage and procuring 100% renewable energy for our remaining needs
3. Introducing more energy efficient solutions such as infra-red heating
4. Providing all our teams with tools that enable them to calculate, then work to reduce the carbon emitted when carrying out client work
5. Using more technological solutions that assist our customers, supply chain and people to reduce their carbon footprints
6. Ensure our paper free strategy is delivered by 2025
7. Requiring our 3rd party suppliers, representing 75% of our total 3rd party supplier spend, to set carbon reduction targets no later than FY25
