Carbon Reduction Strategy

Pelion is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050

Clear governance, measurable data, and a practical route to decarbonisation.

Measuring emissions is the first step on the path to Net Zero. Pelion uses dedicated carbon accounting tools to track annual emissions, monitor progress, and shape actions that are grounded in how the business actually operates.

The approach is built around practical delivery: sharing results across the business, naming leaders behind each workstream, building climate awareness among employees, and working alongside suppliers and customers who share the same decarbonisation goals.

Ambition balanced by pragmatism and operational efficiency.

Global climate science calls for emissions to fall by roughly 3–7% every year. Pelion’s roadmap is built around realistic actions that deliver a measurable impact now and over the years ahead.

• Ambition. Some initiatives call for bold change — each one moves Pelion further and faster toward global climate targets.

• Pragmatism. Actions are built on proven approaches already deployed by pioneering companies and climate specialists.

• Efficiency. The plan is designed for real-world delivery, so it produces measurable emissions reductions in practice.

• Growth-aware. Projected annual growth of around 6% is factored in, so the reduction plan stays credible as Pelion scales.

Where we stand today

1,118 - 2024 Baseline (tCO2e)

951 - 2025 Reported (tCO2e) > - 15%

580 - 2031 Target (tCO2e) - 48% vs. baseline

Net Zero by 2050

In 2025, Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (purchased electricity) accounted for just 0 tCO2e and 15 tCO2e respectively, while Scope 3 sources — the emissions embedded in what Pelion buys and uses, not what it burns or plugs in — remain the overwhelming driver of the footprint at 936 tCO2e, around 98% of the total. Digital and cloud infrastructure accounts for roughly 60% of total emissions, followed by purchased services (11%) and purchased products (8%)

To continue progress toward Net Zero, Pelion has adopted the following near-term target: carbon emissions are projected to fall to 580 tCO2e by 2031 — a reduction of 48% against the 2024 baseline (39% against the 2025 reporting year). This equates to an average annual reduction of approximately 7%, in line with the IPCC 1.5°C-aligned pathway and the 2015 Paris Agreement goal of halving global greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2030.

Completed initiatives

Pelion uses a dedicated carbon accounting platform to measure GHG emissions accurately and works with climate experts on an action plan to reach Net Zero by 2050. Seven measures completed since the 2024 baseline are already delivering results — together worth a 168 tCO2e reduction, 15% against the 2024 baseline — and will remain in effect for the duration of the contract.

• Built our first company-wide GHG inventory (2024), externally verified — the baseline for everything since.

• Switched 100% of UK office electricity to a renewable, REGO-backed tariff.

• Rationalised cloud infrastructure — retired legacy servers, moved to lower-carbon regions — cutting our biggest source: digital, ~60% of the footprint.

• Downsized office space, cutting leased-asset emissions.

• Launched a season-ticket loan scheme to get more employees onto public transport.

• Rolled out a staff sustainability platform — 96% survey response, sharper commuting and home-working data.

• Extended laptop and device lifecycles to four years, cutting embodied emissions.

• Achieved ISO 14001 environmental management certification

Future initiatives

Further measures Pelion plans to implement:

• Push our top suppliers (80% of spend) to publish their own Carbon Reduction Plans or science-based targets.

• Keep cutting cloud emissions — low-carbon grids, right-sized compute, smarter workload scheduling.

• Swap plastic SIMs for half-cut or recycled-plastic cards, and accelerate eSIM adoption — less material, less logistics, less waste.

• Go electric-only on new company vehicles, backed by a salary-sacrifice EV scheme.

• Report progress publicly every year, signed off by the board.

• Explore high-quality carbon removal for residual emissions — once our own reductions are firmly on track.

This strategy is grounded in the Carbon Reduction Plan prepared in accordance with PPN 006 and the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans, using the GHG Protocol Corporate and Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standards and UK Government emission conversion factors. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are reported in accordance with SECR requirements. This strategy has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
