The organisation’s baseline emissions have been established using operational data, energy consumption analysis and transport activity reporting derived from ESOS Phase 3 and SECR reporting activities.

The baseline year for this Carbon Reduction Plan is 2022.

3. Current Emissions Reporting

Current reporting data relates to the reporting year ending 31 December 2023.

Northside Truck & Van Ltd continues to monitor and assess operational emissions generated through buildings, energy consumption, transport activity and associated business operations.
