Challenge and Opportunity

As a product-based business with complex supply chains, understanding their emissions wasn’t straightforward. Beagle had no existing carbon reporting in place and, as an NHS supplier, needed a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan under PPN 006. They needed it to be credible and to reflect how their business operates, not just a document produced to satisfy a procurement requirement.

Approach & Solution

We measured Scope 1, 2, and five categories of Scope 3. For a manufacturer like Beagle, upstream distribution is a significant part of the picture, so a key focus was working with the team to collect real activity data rather than relying on spend-based estimates. Data collection was a substantial part of the process and we worked closely with Beagle to identify how to extract the data it in a usable way. The result was a footprint that accurately reflects Beagle’s operations.

Now heading into their second year, the process is more streamlined, the data is more refined and initiatives tailored.

Results & Impact

Beagle now has a complete, compliant PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan and net zero targets in place. They have a clear picture of where their highest emissions sit, particularly around distribution, and a credible baseline from which to measure progress year on year.
