Carbon Reduction Plan

You4You Health Ltd, trading as Averon Intelligence · Companies House 16520637 · Published 12 July 2026 · PPN 06/21

This Carbon Reduction Plan is prepared in accordance with Procurement Policy Notice (PPN) 06/21 and the associated technical standard, proportionate to our size and activity: a four-person, fully remote, cloud-native software company with no premises and no vehicles.

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

You4You Health Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045, ahead of the UK Government's 2050 target and aligned with the NHS Carbon Footprint Plus ambition. Our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are already zero, and our plan focuses on measuring and reducing the small Scope 3 footprint that remains.

Baseline emissions footprint

Baseline year: 16 June 2025 – 30 June 2026 (our first year of operation). This is also our first reporting year, so baseline and current emissions are the same.

Voluntary additional disclosure: we estimate a further ~2.0 tCO₂e per year from cloud computing and purchased IT equipment (spend-based estimate). From FY2026/27 we will measure cloud emissions directly using the AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool and the Microsoft Emissions Impact Dashboard and include them in this plan.

Current emissions reporting

Reporting year 16 June 2025 – 30 June 2026 (first year; identical to the baseline above): 1.6 tCO₂e across the PPN 06/21 required categories — approximately 0.40 tCO₂e per full-time employee.

Emissions reduction targets

• Maintain Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at zero as we grow (remote-first; no premises or vehicles planned).
• Reduce per-employee emissions across the PPN categories by at least 10% by 2030 against the FY2025/26 baseline (0.40 → 0.36 tCO₂e per FTE), so total emissions grow more slowly than headcount.
• Measure and report cloud emissions from FY2026/27, and set a cloud-efficiency target in the first plan that includes a full year of measured data.
• Achieve Net Zero across all reported scopes by 2045.

Carbon reduction projects

Completed and ongoing:

• Remote-first operating model — no offices and no commuting by default, eliminating the largest typical sources of small-company emissions.
• UK cloud regions on AWS and Microsoft Azure, both operating ambitious renewable-energy and net-zero programmes; workloads use auto-scaling and serverless patterns so compute is not left running idle.
• Rail-first travel policy; video-first client engagement.
• Device lifecycle of at least four years, with certified refurbishment and WEEE-compliant recycling at end of life.
• Environmental considerations managed through our ISO 14001-aligned environmental management system.

Planned:

• Direct measurement of cloud emissions via provider carbon tools from FY2026/27.
• Supplier selection criteria favouring providers with published net-zero commitments.
• Annual review of this plan against the latest Government conversion factors, republished each year.
