Carbon Reduction Plan
We Power Your Car Limited
Introduction and commitment to Net Zero
We Power Your Car Limited (company number 12273463) is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 at the latest, in line with the UK Government’s legislated target and the requirements of PPN 006 (the current UK public procurement standard for Carbon Reduction Plans, superseding PPN 06/21).
This plan is prepared in accordance with the PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan Technical Standard and the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, using an Operational Control reporting boundary. It will be reviewed and updated at least annually, within six months of our financial year-end.
This is WPYC’s first published Carbon Reduction Plan.
Baseline emissions footprint
Baseline year: 1 September 2025 – 31 August 2026, adopted as WPYC’s first full 12-month reporting period. This gives a more representative baseline than the prior financial year, which covered an atypical 10-month period at markedly lower volumes and a heavier diesel-fleet weighting.
| Emissions category | tCO2e |
| Scope 1 (owned vehicles, on-site fuel) | 254.1 |
| Scope 2 (purchased electricity, location-based) | 14.5 |
| Scope 3 — Cat 4: upstream transportation & distribution | 463.1 — reported together with Cat 9 below, since our logistics partner’s mileage data does not distinguish inbound from outbound miles |
| Scope 3 — Cat 5: waste generated in operations | 0.1 (21.2 tonnes of waste across all streams; 81% recycled, 19% Energy from Waste, 0% landfill) |
| Scope 3 — Cat 6: business travel | 10.3 |
| Scope 3 — Cat 7: employee commuting | 93.2 |
| Scope 3 — Cat 9: downstream transportation & distribution | Included in Cat 4 above |
| Total emissions | 835.2 (components may not sum exactly due to rounding) |
Methodology: GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, Operational Control boundary; emissions calculated in tCO2e using UK Government (DESNZ) conversion factors.
Current emissions reporting
Reporting year: 1 September 2025 – 31 August 2026 — the same period as the baseline above, since this is WPYC’s first Carbon Reduction Plan. From next year, this section will report the most recent 12 months against the fixed baseline.
| Emissions category | tCO2e |
| Scope 1 (owned vehicles, on-site fuel) | 254.1 |
| Scope 2 (purchased electricity, location-based) | 14.5 |

Emissions reduction targets
WPYC commits to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 at the latest, in line with the UK Government’s legislated target and the mandatory minimum under PPN 006.
WPYC additionally targets a 40% reduction in tCO2e per installation completed by 2035 against this baseline, supported by the fleet electrification and route optimisation initiatives set out below.
Progress against previous emissions reduction targets: not applicable — this is WPYC’s first published Carbon Reduction Plan.
Carbon reduction projects and environmental management measures
Already in place
- ISO 14001:2015 certified environmental management system, certified via Alcumus ISOQAR
- Core business activity (installing EV chargepoints) directly supports the decarbonisation of UK road transport
- Fleet already includes a mix of EV/hybrid and diesel vehicles, with the EV/hybrid share increasing over time
- 100% of waste managed via Go 4 Greener/Thinventory is diverted from landfill — 81% recycled, 19% processed via Energy from Waste (see Cat 5 above for the full breakdown)
Planned initiatives
- Continuing to electrify the company van fleet — significant progress has been made over the past 6 months, and this remains a key ongoing focus
- Route and job-scheduling optimisation through the go-live of new Ortec scheduling software (October/November 2026), expected to deliver more efficient route planning and reduced fuel costs
- Reviewing our electricity tariff at Airedale House at the October 2026 renewal, balancing a move toward renewable electricity against commercial cost
