Creating a CRP

Did you know that having a robust Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) is now essential for many tenders, especially in the public sector? Beyond compliance, it’s a powerful way to demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to environmental sustainability and build trust with clients.

If you're wondering where to start, here are 3 practical tips to approach creating a Carbon Reduction Plan that helps you win work:

1. Understand the Requirements
   Review the tender documents carefully to ensure your CRP aligns with the client's expectations. For example, most public sector clients require your plan to meet PPN 06/21 standards, including baselines for emissions and reduction targets.

2. Be Transparent and Realistic
   Outline clear, measurable, and achievable goals. Clients value honesty—show them your current carbon footprint, the actions you're taking to reduce it, and your timeline for progress.

3. Link Actions to Impact
   Go beyond stating targets. Highlight how your initiatives—like switching to renewable energy, reducing waste, or greening your supply chain—will deliver tangible benefits to the environment and the communities your client serves.
