Net Zero 2050 Carbon Reduction Plan | Taylormade Construction

1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

Taylormade Construction Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions across its operations by 2050 at the latest. This Carbon Reduction Plan sets out the practical steps we will take to reduce emissions from our own activities, purchased energy and the supply chain emissions we can influence through design coordination, materials planning, procurement, site delivery and customer-focused project management.

Our approach follows carbon management principles consistent with PAS 2080: considering carbon early, taking a whole-life view, collaborating across the value chain and applying an avoid-reduce-improve hierarchy before considering offsetting for genuinely residual emissions.

2. Emissions Profile and Baseline Development

Our emissions are concentrated in the areas most relevant to a Stoke-on-Trent based construction business delivering new build, renovations, refurbishments, extensions, conversions, joinery, roofing, groundwork, brickwork, plumbing, gas, electrical works and responsive property repairs: company vehicles, fuel use, small plant, office and yard energy, purchased electricity, materials, waste movements, deliveries and specialist supplier activity.

Emissions scope	Main sources	Reduction focus
Scope 1	Company vans, fuel, small plant and company-controlled activity linked to construction, joinery, roofing, groundwork, maintenance and responsive repair works.	Reduced mileage, efficient routing, lower idling, good maintenance, phased transition to low-emission vehicles and plant.
Scope 2	Purchased electricity and energy used at the Stoke-on-Trent office, yard, storage, workshop or welfare facilities supporting project delivery.	Lower energy demand, LED lighting, heating controls, switch-off discipline, usage monitoring and renewable tariff review.
Scope 3	Materials, delivery mileage, hired plant, subcontracted specialist services, supplier travel, waste movements, packaging and disposal activity.	Local procurement, consolidated deliveries, better materials planning, waste segregation, supplier data capture and earlier engagement.

Over the next 12 months, we will strengthen our baseline by recording Scope 1 and Scope 2 data, including vehicle fuel use, mileage and electricity consumption. We will also begin developing a proportionate Scope 3 reporting model with key suppliers and subcontractors, prioritising the trades and materials that most influence our construction, joinery and social housing works.

3. Carbon Reduction Measures

3.1 Scope 1: Fleet, Fuel and Company-Controlled Emissions

Our largest direct emissions arise from travel to and from dispersed construction sites, homes, social housing properties and customer premises across Stoke-on-Trent, the Midlands and the North West. This includes operatives, supervisors, joiners, materials, tools and small plant movements. We will reduce avoidable travel and fuel use while maintaining on-time completion, safe working and responsive customer service.

Group planned works geographically so teams, materials and plant are deployed efficiently.
Use local labour, merchants and supply chain partners where this supports quality, value and programme certainty.
Improve surveys, ordering and coordination so more works are completed right first time.
Monitor mileage, fuel use and maintenance, supported by reduced idling and fuel-efficient driving behaviours.

3.2 Vehicle Transition Plan

Our vehicle transition will be phased, evidence-led and operationally safe. Diesel and hybrid vehicles will continue to be used where they are required for range, payload, towing, tools, materials, emergency response and wide-area coverage. At each replacement point, we will assess electric and lower-emission alternatives against real-world range, payload, charging access, route profile, whole-life cost, carbon benefit and the need to support reliable project delivery.

We will prioritise duties where electric vehicles are most practical, including shorter predictable routes, supervisor journeys, local surveys, lower-payload planned works and suitable urban journeys. Reactive repairs, emergency attendance and heavier trade vehicles will transition when vehicle technology and charging infrastructure can support dependable service levels.

3.3 Scope 2: Energy and Purchased Electricity

We will reduce emissions from office, yard, workshop, storage and welfare energy use by avoiding unnecessary consumption, improving efficiency and reviewing lower-carbon supply options. Actions will include LED lighting where appropriate, switching off unused equipment, reviewing heating controls, monitoring bills and meter readings, and considering a renewable electricity tariff at contract renewal where commercially viable.

3.4 Scope 3: Supply Chain, Materials and Waste

Scope 3 emissions are harder to capture accurately, particularly for a multi-trade construction business working with joinery, groundwork, brickwork, roofing, plastering, rendering, plumbing, gas, electrical, glazing, materials suppliers, plant providers and specialist subcontractors. We will therefore build a practical reporting model that captures consistent information on supplier travel, materials sourcing, delivery mileage, hired plant and waste movements.

We will reduce embodied and indirect carbon by planning materials more accurately, avoiding over-ordering, consolidating deliveries where practical, using suitable local sourcing, prioritising durable and lower-impact products, reducing packaging, improving waste segregation and seeking reuse opportunities where safe, compliant and consistent with customer requirements.

4. Governance, Monitoring and Reporting

Progress against this plan will be reviewed formally on an annual basis through Taylormade Construction's management arrangements. Actions, priorities and investment decisions will be approved by senior leadership, providing clear accountability while keeping delivery safe, responsive, high quality and commercially viable.

We will use recorded data to improve our baseline, track year-on-year performance and identify further reductions. Reporting will remain proportionate to the nature of our work, including multi-trade construction, joinery, social housing, refurbishments, conversions, customer communication, responsive repairs and efficient deployment of labour, materials and plant.

5. Implementation Roadmap to 2050

Period	Priority actions	Expected outcome
2026–2027	Strengthen Scope 1 and Scope 2 data capture; introduce supplier and subcontractor Scope 3 reporting; review energy use, waste controls and fleet replacement criteria.	Reliable baseline and practical emissions reduction priorities.
2028–2035	Increase low-emission vehicle adoption where operationally suitable; expand supplier carbon reporting; improve materials planning, waste segregation, delivery consolidation and site logistics.	Reduced fleet, energy and value-chain emissions year on year.
2036–2045	Continue fleet and plant transition as technology matures; increase renewable energy use; embed carbon considerations into procurement, estimating, design coordination and operational planning.	Substantial reduction in remaining operational emissions.
2046–2050	Address residual emissions through further technology transition, improved supply chain performance and responsible treatment of unavoidable residual emissions.	Net Zero achieved by 2050 at the latest.
