Policy review schedule: Every 12 months (as a minimum)

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Vostek Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 01/12/2048.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

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 relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
2024 is our first year of reporting. As a recruiter of healthcare professionals for temporary and permanent roles in the NHS and the private sector across the UK, it was identified that the main emissions we occur is from energy consumption in our main office and for travel for both our agency staff and office staff to and from work.
Baseline year emissions: 2024

Scope 1 0.00 tonnes
Scope 2 3.00 tonnes

Emissions reduction targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next three years to 3.544 tonnes tCO2e by August 2027. This is a reduction of 45.9%, we will achieve this by switching to a renewable energy provider.

Carbon Reduction Projects

Carbon Reduction Initiatives

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

  • Transition towards low forms carbon of transport (i.e. electric vehicles)
  • Introduce more localised recruitment to support reduced travel times
  • Further use of working from home strategies
  • Update our supply chain to encourage the use of carbon neutral providers for delivery, uniforms and technology supplies in particular
  • Work towards a 100% digital / paperless office environment
  • Requiring office staff / agency staff only to travel by public transport
  • Moving cloud-based storage to a net neutral storage provider
