CLIMATE ACTION PLAN

Flexworks HR® Consulting Ltd is committed to playing an active role in tackling the climate crisis. As a certified B Corporation™, we recognise our responsibility to reduce our environmental impact and align our business with a 1.5°C future.

We commit to:

• Achieving net‑zero emissions by 2040.
• Reducing emissions in line with science‑based pathways.
• Measuring and reporting our carbon footprint annually. 
• Publishing transparent updates on our progress.
• Embedding climate responsibility into our governance, procurement, and decision‑making.

This plan outlines how we will achieve these commitments as a remote‑first, sole‑director business with no employees and minimal physical footprint.

About Flexworks HR® Consulting Ltd

As a micro‑business with no employees, our emissions profile is simple and primarily driven by:

• Home office energy use.
• Business travel (only when required).
• Digital tools and cloud services.
• Purchased goods and professional services.

This structure gives us a unique opportunity to operate with a very low carbon footprint and to model sustainable working practices for our clients.

Emissions measurement and baseline

We will establish an emissions baseline in line with our 2025/2026 financial year using the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. In line with the updated B Corp standards, we will measure and report emissions across:

Scope 1: Direct emissions.

Scope 2: Purchased electricity for the home office.

Scope 3:

• Home‑working emissions.
• Business travel.
• Digital tools and cloud services.
• Purchased goods and services.

We will publish our emissions annually and use this data to track progress against our targets.

Targets

Our targets align with a 1.5°C pathway and reflect the rapid reductions needed this decade.

By 2030

• Reduce total emissions by 50% from the 2025/2026 baseline.
• Continue to source 100% renewable electricity for the home office.
• Reduce business travel emissions by 40%.
• Embed climate considerations into all business and procurement decisions.

By 2035

• Reduce total emissions by 80% from the 2025/2026 baseline.
