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.

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. The baseline calculations cover all UK operations of the company and of its subsidiary companies in territories. Because the nature of our work is principally clerical and delivered from fixed locations, emissions are calculated as location based rather than market based, but our Scope 3 figures have been extended to include all business travel undertaken to support our activities, namely: Flights Hotel Stays Business mileage through Fleet and Grey Fleet Rail, Tube, Bus, Taxi The calculations have incorporated the business activities of NurseGate UK Ltd and Territories |

Emissions reduction targets
For this reporting year we have calculated our environmental impact across scope 1, 2 and 3 (selected categories) emission sources for the UK only. Our emissions are presented on a location basis (using the UK grid emissions intensity) and our emissions are 396.82kgCO2e, which is an average impact of 75.18 tCO2e per £100m revenue and below our previously stated target for the reporting year. We have calculated the emission intensity metrics on both a revenue and colleague basis, which we will monitor to track performance in our subsequent environmental disclosures. The methodology used to calculate the Greenhouse Gas (‘GHG’) emissions is in accordance with the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (2022).
NurseGate UK objective is to reduce UK carbon emissions from 2023 levels by 25% by the end of 2025.
Our reduction targets are stated as follows:
Year ending 2023 – 72.2 tCO2e per £100m revenue
Year ending 2024 – 67.1 tCO2e per £100m revenue
Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
Our focus in the coming years will both continue rationalising our property foot prints and to extend and encourage working behaviours which were accelerated at the start beginning of 2023. Our overall property footprint continue to decreases as lease expires where the need of physical location remains, we have looked to shared spaces which can be used across the business, relocate to more modern and energy efficient sites and utilising flexible working spaces where it is more practical to do so. All new and existing colleagues are required to undertake mandatory environmental awareness training since 2023.
Additional to above NurseGate app launching in January 2024 will reduce overall company carbon emissions as all our offices around the globe will be using the portal & App which make all the process within the company Electronic.
