Carbon Reduction Plan

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Number One Creative Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in line with the UK Government's obligations under the Climate Change Act 2008 and the objectives of PPN 006. This commitment applies, as a minimum, to the company's UK operations and covers Scope 1, Scope 2 and the relevant Scope 3 emissions categories set out in this plan.

As a small procurement and supply business, we recognise that our most significant environmental impact arises not from our own operations but from the goods we source and the supply chains we rely on. Our approach to Net Zero therefore focuses on responsible sourcing, efficient logistics, and working with manufacturing partners who share our commitment to reducing carbon.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. They are the reference point against which future reduction is measured. The baseline year is 2026.

Number One Creative Ltd is a micro-enterprise with no employees other than its director, no owned or leased premises beyond a registered office, no company vehicles, and no manufacturing or warehousing operations of its own. The company operates on a low-footprint basis, conducting its activities remotely and digitally. Emissions are consequently minimal and are set out below.

Emissions scope	Baseline year 2026 (tCO2e)
Scope 1 (direct — owned/controlled sources)	0
Scope 2 (indirect — purchased electricity)	0
Scope 3 (included PPN 006 sources):
Upstream transportation and distribution	0.0 *
Waste generated in operations	<0.1
Business travel	0.3
Employee commuting	0.2
Downstream transportation and distribution	0.0 *
Total	<1

* The company has not yet commenced material trading. Upstream and downstream transportation and distribution (principally international freight of imported goods) are expected to become the company's most significant emissions source once trading begins; these are currently negligible and will be fully quantified as trading commences.

Emissions have been quantified and are reported in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and the relevant Scope 3 categories identified above. The company will continue to apply the GHG Protocol Standard in establishing its complete baseline and in all future reporting.

Current Emissions Reporting

As this is the company's first Carbon Reduction Plan and the baseline year is the current reporting year (2026), current emissions are as stated in the baseline table above. Future Carbon Reduction Plans will report current-year emissions against the 2026 baseline.

Emissions Reduction Targets

Number One Creative Ltd commits to the following targets for its UK operations:

• achieving Net Zero by 2050 or sooner across Scope 1, Scope 2 and the reported Scope 3 categories;
• measuring and reporting its full Scope 3 footprint — in particular upstream and downstream transportation and distribution — and establishing a complete baseline within 12 months of commencing material trading;
• reducing the carbon intensity of its supply chain (emissions per unit supplied) year on year as trading volumes grow, principally by optimising freight and supplier selection.

Carbon Reduction Projects & Measures

The following measures are in place or planned:

• Responsible sourcing. We prioritise manufacturing partners holding recognised environmental accreditations (such as ISO 14001) and FSC/PEFC chain-of-custody certification for timber-based products.
• Efficient logistics. Where practicable, we consolidate shipments, optimise container utilisation, and favour shorter and lower-carbon freight routes to reduce transport emissions per unit supplied.
• Nearshoring where viable. We consider European and near-market sourcing alongside cost, to reduce freight distances and associated emissions where it delivers value.
• Packaging reduction. We work with suppliers to minimise packaging, specify recyclable materials, and reduce void space in transit.
• Low-footprint operations. The business operates remotely and digitally, minimising office energy use, commuting and business travel.
• Supplier engagement. We engage manufacturing partners on their own carbon-reduction and ethical-sourcing performance as part of supplier selection and evaluation.
