Needing a carbon reduction plan
What is PPN 06/21?
PPN 06/21 requires companies bidding on U.K. public contracts over £5m to align with the U.K.'s net-zero goal by 2050. Non-compliance results in exclusion from the tender process.
Step1: Measurment and reporting standards
To create a net-zero strategy, companies must measure their current carbon emissions and adhere to reporting standards. They must also provide a detailed report on specific subsets of emissions to demonstrate their commitment to net-zero.
Reporting standards:
Emissions must be measured and reported according to government standards and protocols. Government-published conversion factors must be used for non-CO2 greenhouse gases. A subset of Scope 3 emissions outlined in PPN 06/21 must also be reported.

Step 2: Reduce
The second step in creating a net-zero strategy involves setting a target to reach net-zero by 2050 and tracking progress towards that target. Targets can be absolute or based on an intensity metric such as FTE or revenue.
Step 3: Report
The final step in creating a net-zero strategy is to detail past, current or intended carbon reduction projects and how they achieve reductions against a base year.
