2i’s baseline emissions have been estimated for operations for the year 2021. As a professional services company, our operations are administration-based. During 2021, all employees worked from home due to the COVID pandemic. Any office usage, business travel and employee commuting were exceptionally low.
As 2i grows and as people return to offices post-pandemic, we will increase our managed office space, and will increase our carbon emissions. However, we will put in measures to limit, manage and reduce those emissions to reach net zero by 2050 at the latest.
2022 Emissions Total: 23.9224 tCO2
Scope 1: 0 tCO2e
Scope 2: 12,711kWh - 1.837 tCO2e
(renewable and nuclear energy)
Scope 3: 1.3289 tCO2e
Total Emissions: 3.1659 tCO2e

In order to achieve our Net Zero target, we are committed to taking measures to reduce our carbon emissions each year. We project that carbon emissions will increase in 2023 as we employ more staff and as commuting, and business travel increase due to hybrid working implementation.
We will put measures in place to control and reduce over time emissions where the company has a direct influence, and we will encourage our employees to make the best choices to reduce their emissions.
Please note that the baseline was set in a pandemic year, and as we are a company experiencing growth, the increase of emissions is estimated for 2022/2023. We will update the chart as we record the years' results.
