Carbon Reduction Plan Guidance for Suppliers

This document is a guide for suppliers on the completion of Carbon Reduction Plans (CRPs) as part of procurement processes. It outlines the requirements for suppliers wishing to bid for contracts, emphasizing the necessity of submitting a CRP that details their organizational carbon footprint and commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. The guide specifies that the CRP must be tailored to the bidding entity and may include the parent organization under certain conditions. It mandates that the CRP be updated regularly, approved by senior leadership, and published on the supplier's website. The document also provides a template for the CRP, including sections for baseline emissions, current emissions reporting, and emissions reduction targets. Furthermore, it discusses completed carbon reduction initiatives and future plans for further emissions reductions, including the adoption of energy-efficient practices and engagement with employees on environmental actions.
