Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

The Roche Hair Experience is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions

by 2045, in line with the UK Government’s targets and the NHS’s sustainability

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline Year: 2023

Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reductions

are measured. As a small, home-based business, the following sources were

included in our baseline:

Scope 1 (Direct Emissions):

• Use of a personal vehicle for business purposes.

Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions):

• Electricity and gas usage in a home-based office powered by

renewable energy.

Scope 3 (Supply Chain Emissions):

• Products shipped by air from German and American suppliers.

Deliveries from UK wholesalers.

Current Emissions Reporting

Reporting Year: 2024

Emissions Reduction Targets

To achieve Net Zero by 2045, we have set the following targets:

• By 2030: Reduce total emissions by 20%.
• By 2040: Reduce total emissions by 80%.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease to XX tCO2e by 2030, as a

result of current and planned reduction measures.

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives:

Since our 2023 baseline, we have implemented the following initiatives to

reduce carbon emissions

Renewable Energy Transition:

• The home office operates entirely on renewable electricity and gas, reducing Scope 2 emissions.

Supplier Consolidation:

• Grouped shipments to minimise air freight and reduce emissions associated with Scope 3 supply chain activities.

Optimised Business Travel:

• Consolidated travel for business purposes to minimise personal vehicle usage, reducing Scope 1 emissions.

Digital Operations:

• Shifted to online meetings and communication to reduce travel emissions.

Future Measures:

• We aim to further reduce emissions through the following initiatives:
• Transition to an electric or hybrid vehicle by 2030 to eliminate Scope 1 vehicle emissions.
• Collaborate with suppliers to explore sustainable shipping methods and reduce the impact of air freight.
• Invest in carbon offset projects to counterbalance unavoidable emissions.
• Conduct a formal emissions audit to refine our data collection and reporting capabilities.
