Our Carbon Reduction Plan 2025

A baseline. A roadmap. A public commitment. Granada Cranes Ltd has measured its Scope 1, Scope 2 and a subset of Scope 3 emissions against the GHG Protocol, and is committed to Net Zero across its operations by 2050 — in line with UK Government targets and the requirements of Procurement Policy Note 06/21.

01 · Our Commitment

From workshop to wider value chain.

As a supplier and installer of overhead crane systems, our activities — from workshop operations to site-based engineering — carry an environmental impact. This plan is our honest baseline, and our public commitment to reduce it.

We recognise that our workshop operations, service vehicles, and the materials we procure all contribute to greenhouse gas emissions — and that the transition to a low-carbon economy is both a responsibility and an opportunity.

This plan establishes our baseline and sets out the approach we will take to measure, manage and reduce our carbon footprint over time. It covers direct operations (Scope 1), purchased electricity (Scope 2), and relevant indirect activities (Scope 3) including business travel, waste, commuting and purchased goods and services.

Carbon reduction will be embedded into operational decision-making, equipment procurement and engineering practice wherever practicable. Progress will be monitored through regular measurement, annual review, and the implementation of concrete reduction projects.

02 · Emissions at a Glance

Our 2025 footprint, split by GHG Scope.

All figures measured in accordance with the GHG Protocol, using UK Government emission conversion factors. A subset of Scope 3 (categories 4 and 9 — upstream & downstream transport) is currently excluded pending improved supplier data, and will be added in 2026.

03 · Net Zero Roadmap

A linear path from 244 to zero, by 2050.

Starting from our 2025 baseline, the plan below compares projected emissions if no carbon reduction projects are implemented against target emissions on the Net Zero trajectory. Targets may be revised as projects are delivered. Although 2026 may see a small uptick as reporting improves and we relocate, the overall trajectory is a steady linear reduction to zero.

04 · Detailed Breakdown

Where the 244 tCO₂e comes from.

A line-by-line breakdown of our 2025 baseline emissions. As this is our first reporting year, reporting period and baseline period figures are identical — this becomes our benchmark for all future reductions.

Calculation notes: UK-specific emissions factors used for all calculations, including non-UK sites. A sample of employees responded to the commuting and home-working survey; responses were extrapolated across all employees for 2025. Scope 3 categories 4 and 9 (upstream & downstream transportation & distribution) are excluded due to data collection challenges and will be incorporated into the 2026 plan.
