This document is a guide for completing a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) required for bidding suppliers aiming to contract with in-scope organizations. It outlines the necessity for suppliers to submit a CRP detailing their carbon footprint and commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. The CRP must be specific to the bidding entity and adhere to the reporting requirements set forth in the accompanying guidance. The document also specifies the criteria under which a CRP may cover both the bidding entity and its parent organization. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of regular updates to the CRP, which should be published on the supplier's website and approved by senior leadership. The guide includes a template for the CRP, which requires details such as baseline emissions and current emissions reporting. Additionally, it discusses completed carbon reduction initiatives and future targets for emissions reduction, ensuring compliance with established standards and protocols.
