Example Cleaning Services Ltd (illustrative example with made-up figures) is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045.
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
| Baseline year | 2024 |
| Additional details | First full year of records. Fuel from fuel-card statements, electricity and gas from supplier bills, mileage from expense claims, commuting from a staff travel survey scaled to all 42 staff, waste from the waste contractor's transfer notes. |

|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 29.15 |
| Scope 2 | 1.90 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 38.03 |
| Total emissions | 69.08 |
