Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline Year: 2025/2026
Taylor Hanson Ltd is a Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) and is currently developing its carbon measurement and reporting arrangements.
At the time of publication, the company has not yet completed a formal greenhouse gas emissions inventory. This Carbon Reduction Plan therefore establishes our commitment to carbon reduction and provides the framework through which future emissions monitoring and reporting will be developed.
The principal source of emissions generated by the company arises from fuel consumption associated with passenger transport operations.
As our monitoring arrangements continue to develop, emissions data will be collected, reviewed, and incorporated into future revisions of this Carbon Reduction Plan.
