Carbon Footprint Statement & Net Zero Plan 

1. About Us

DataOps IT Ltd is a UK-based technology services company specialising in cloud infrastructure, database management, managed IT services, and digital transformation. Operating with a remote-first and hybrid model, the company maintains a minimal physical footprint, relying primarily on cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

2. Net Zero Commitment

DataOps IT Ltd is committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. This plan aligns with UK regulatory requirements, including PPN 06/21, and reflects our responsibility to support national climate targets.

Our approach is based on:

3. Emissions Profile (Baseline 2024–2025)

• Scope 1: 0.00 tCO₂e (no direct emissions)
• Scope 2: 0.87 tCO₂e (electricity use)
• Scope 3: 21.85 tCO₂e (cloud, travel, commuting, suppliers)

Total Baseline Emissions: 22.72 tCO₂e

Cloud infrastructure represents the largest share of emissions.

4. Current Performance (2025–2026)

• Reduction: 11.5% decrease from baseline

Key improvements:

• Cloud optimisation reduced emissions
• Business travel reduced by 40%
• Commuting reduced through hybrid working
• Improved software and infrastructure efficiency

5. Carbon Reduction Targets

• 2027: 15% reduction (≤ 19.31 tCO₂e)
• 2030: 35% reduction (≤ 14.77 tCO₂e)
• 2035: 60% reduction
• 2040: 80% reduction
• 2045: Net Zero

6. Carbon Reduction Strategy

Short-Term (2025–2027):

• Implement cloud carbon monitoring tools
• Reduce high-impact Scope 3 emissions
• Strengthen hybrid working and reduce travel

Mid-Term (2027–2030):

• Transition to renewable energy where possible
• Embed sustainability into procurement and cloud decisions
• Introduce supplier carbon requirements

Long-Term (2030–2045):

• Achieve near-zero emissions operations
• Use renewable-powered cloud and data centres
• Offset only unavoidable residual emissions

7. Key Focus Areas

• Cloud optimisation (largest impact)
• Supplier engagement (Scope 3 reduction)
