Carbon Reduction Plan

2025/2026

Blue 9 Security Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This Carbon Reduction Plan sets out our current emissions, our targets and the actions we are taking to reduce our environmental impact.

Baseline emissions

We began formally monitoring our carbon footprint in 2024. That year is used as our baseline, based on the earliest complete and reliable data available.

Baseline year: 2024


Total emissions: 283.91 tCO2e


  • Scope 1: 10.52 tCO2e
  • Scope 2: 213.62 tCO2e
  • Scope 3 (included sources): 59.78 tCO2e

Earlier data did not fully meet current reporting standards, especially for Scope 3. The 2024 baseline reflects improved data collection and will be updated if significant changes occur or better data becomes available.


Current emissions (2025)


Reporting year: 2025


Total emissions: 247.65 tCO2e


  • Scope 1: 0 tCO2e
  • Scope 2: 196.71 tCO2e
  • Scope 3 (included sources): 50.94 tCO2e



This represents an overall reduction compared with the 2024 baseline.


Emissions reduction targets

To support our Net Zero 2050 commitment, we have set the following target:

  • Reduce total emissions to 173.36 tCO2e by 2030, a 30% reduction from the 2024 baseline.


Progress against this target will be reviewed and reported annually.


Completed carbon reduction initiatives


Since the 2024 baseline, we have implemented a range of measures that together have reduced emissions by 36.26 tCO2e, a 12.77% reduction against the baseline. Key initiatives include:


  • Achieving ISO 14001 certification and raising staff awareness of environmental responsibilities.
  • Moving from petrol vehicles to electric vehicles and encouraging car sharing and public transport use.
  • Operating a fully paperless office and carrying out quarterly file cleansing to reduce cloud storage.
  • Recycling at least 70% of workplace waste and sourcing biodegradable, lower‑packaging consumables.
  • Holding back‑office meetings remotely where possible to reduce travel.
  • Operating with staff working remotely around 90% of the time, with a minimal head office presence as required by the Security Industry Authority.
  • Implementing a “switch off” policy for lights, devices and workstations and using energy‑saving bulbs.
  • Providing toolbox talks and guidance to staff on environmental protection and encouraging them to share this knowledge with family and friends.

Planned future measures

We plan to introduce further measures to reduce emissions, including:

  • Upgrading head office to LED lighting and energy‑efficient appliances.
  • Formal supplier engagement to help reduce Scope 3 emissions.
  • Appointing an internal Carbon Reduction Champion.
  • Offsetting remaining emissions through verified UK tree‑planting schemes as an interim step.

Standards and governance

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been prepared in line with:

  • PPN 06/21 and the associated Carbon Reduction Plan reporting standard.
  • The GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard and UK Government emission conversion factors.
  • SECR requirements for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
  • The Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard for the required subset of Scope 3 emissions.


The plan has been reviewed and approved by the board of directors of Blue 9 Security Limited and signed by the Managing Director.
