A document that sets out an organisation’s greenhouse gas emissions, its commitment to achieving net zero emissions, and the actions it will take to reduce its carbon footprint over time. In UK public procurement, contracting authorities may require suppliers to provide a Carbon Reduction Plan as evidence of their environmental commitments and ability to meet sustainability requirements, particularly for higher-value contracts. A Carbon Reduction Plan typically includes emissions data, reduction targets, governance arrangements, and planned initiatives to reduce emissions across the organisation. It supports transparent reporting, informed supplier assessment, and the achievement of broader environmental and net zero objectives.
Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP)
A document setting out an organisation's emissions and its planned actions to reach net zero, often required for higher-value public contracts.
