Carbon Reduction Plan

Engineering a Greener, Cleaner Industry 4.0.

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

3D 360 is committed to reaching Net Zero emissions by 2038 in line with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority Five‐Year Environmental Plan and Greater Manchester’s Carbon Neutral ambition by 2038 and improving on the baseline guidance laid out in PPN 06/21.

Purpose & Scope

This Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) is not intended to replace existing reporting or calculation of our organisational carbon footprint. It is a summary document that details high level information that demonstrates 3D 360 Limited’s compliance with PPN 06/21.

This page determines the emissions created by 3D 360 Limited and sets a net zero target in compliance with PPN 06/21. It captures the carbon emissions for our base year by measuring the applicable direct and indirect emissions for all our UK operations.

Carbon emissions have been measured in three scopes:

Scope 1: Direct Emissions from owned or controlled sources
Scope 2: Indirect Emissions from the generation of purchased energy
Scope 3: Indirect Emissions (not included in scope 2) that occur in the value chain.

Join us to acquire skills that matter, guided by experts, and supported by cutting-edge tools and techniques. Your learning journey with us won’t just be theoretical—it will prepare you for the practical demands of tomorrow’s industries.

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:

As part of 3D 360 Limited’s environmental footprint strategy, 3D 360 Limited measures, minimises and reports on 3D 360 Limited’s environmental footprint, including undertaking rigorous annual measurement.
3D 360 Limited’s targets. 3D 360 Limited’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are calculated in line with the GHG Protocol.
3D 360 Limited’s methodology follows best practices, such as using internationally accepted conversion factors.

Scope 1 encompasses direct emissions, including those associated with the direct consumption of natural gas, heating oil, and diesel fuel as well as the emissions associated with owned and leased vehicles and fugitive emissions.

Scope 2 encompasses indirect emissions, including those associated with the purchase and
consumption of local electricity and distinct heating energy.

Scope 3 figures to be reported in this CRP will include only the following sources of emissions as per the Technical Standard guidance: upstream transportation & distribution; waste generated in operations; business travel; employee commuting; and, downstream transportation and distribution.
