Introduction: Visiopath Limited is committed to reducing its carbon emissions in alignment with environmental sustainability goals. This carbon reduction plan outlines strategies and actions to mitigate carbon emissions in Scopes 1, 2, and 3. This plan supports our dedication to a low-carbon future.

Scope 1 Emissions: Scope 1 emissions encompass direct greenhouse gas emissions that occur from sources owned or controlled by Visiopath Limited. These typically include emissions from combustion of fossil fuels, such as natural gas for heating and diesel for company-owned vehicles. To reduce Scope 1 emissions:

1. Energy Efficiency: Invest in energy-efficient technologies and equipment to minimize fuel consumption and emissions from heating, cooling, and operations
2. Fleet Transition: Gradually transition the company’s vehicle fleet to electric or hybrid vehicles, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Scope 2 Emissions: Scope 2 emissions include indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity, heat, or steam consumed by Visiopath Limited. To address Scope 2 emissions:

1. Renewable Energy Procurement: Source a significant portion of electricity from renewable sources, such as solar or wind, to lower the carbon intensity of purchased energy.
2. Energy Monitoring: Implement energy monitoring systems to identify consumption patterns and areas for optimization.

Scope 3 Emissions: Scope 3 emissions consist of all other indirect emissions in the value chain, including those from business travel, supply chain, and product use. Strategies to manage Scope 3 emissions include:

1. Remote Work: Encourage remote work options and virtual meetings to reduce business travel emissions.
2. Supply Chain Engagement: Collaborate with suppliers to adopt sustainable practices and reduce emissions in the production and transportation of goods.
3. Product Optimization: Develop products that have a reduced carbon footprint during their use phase, thereby lowering emissions associated with their usage.

Carbon Reduction Calculation: To calculate the carbon reduction, follow these steps:

1. Data Collection: Gather data on baseline emissions for Scopes 1, 2, and 3.
2. Emission Factors: Determine emission factors for each emission source (e.g., kg CO2 per kWh for electricity, kg CO2 per litre of diesel).
3. Reduction Goals: Set reduction goals for each scope, aiming for a percentage reduction within a specified timeframe.
4. Implementation: Execute the strategies outlined above to achieve emission reduction.
5. Monitoring and Reporting: Regularly monitor progress towards reduction goals and report achievements transparently.

Conclusion: Visiopath Limited is committed to achieving a substantial reduction in carbon emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. By implementing the strategies outlined in this plan, we aim to create a sustainable and environmentally responsible business model. Our efforts will contribute to a greener future for our organization and the community at large.
