- Carbon Reduction Targets
Mantis Energy aims to reduce total Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 80% by 2030 (from the 2023/24 baseline) and achieve Net Zero across all scopes by 2035.Interim Targets:
- 2027: 50% reduction in total emissions
- 2030: 80% reduction
- 2035: Net Zero (residuals offset through verified carbon removals)
Progress will be monitored annually and published in sustainability reporting.
- Declaration and Sign-Off
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance, and reporting follows the GHG Protocol corporate standard and DEFRA emission factors.
