Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the
past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions.
Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be
measured.
January 2023 – December 2023 acts as our baseline data. This had not been calculated or
processed previously. Due to limitations during this time, the breadth of aggregated data
remains high-level. OCO is a service provider, with the majority of the emissions coming
from our business travel. In this Carbon Reduction Plan, we’ve calculated our total emissions
from the documented travel with our partner travel agency and our electricity bills in the UK
offices. SME Carbon Footprint Calculator by Carbon Trust was used to calculate the
emissions from the utilities use.
