Quantification and Reporting Methodology
BMET’s GHG Emissions were calculated using 2021 Conversion Factors for Reporting developed by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Activity data (i.e., natural gas, electricity, fuels, etc) provided by BMET is multiplied with specific emissions factors to determine GHG emissions. The results of the assessment are provided in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). This methodology is a recognised government approach and follows the principles of the GHG Protocol. This GHG report has been prepared in accordance with Part 1 of BS ISO 14064:2019, the international standard for organisational GHG assessments.
Intensity measurement
The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in metric tonnes CO2e per staff member, the recommended ratio for the sector.
Measures taken to improve energy efficiency
BMet continued to rationalise the size of its Estate in 21/22 and continued efficiency measures in its retained sites, including: further attention to heating times across all sites and measures to gain support from staff to work more efficiently.
Sustainability Committee set up which meets regularly to discuss, consider and implement energy saving measures.
