Organisation name: Neurodiverse Training
Sector: Education, Training, Consultancy
Business size: SME
Primary activities: Delivery of neurodiversity training, consultancy, and education services to public and private sector organisations through a blended model of in‑person and digital delivery.
Neurodiverse Training is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, using a proportionate, evidence‑based approach that reflects both organisational growth and environmental responsibility.
We recognise that expanding high‑quality, accessible in‑person training is central to our mission. Our approach therefore prioritises carbon efficiency and emissions intensity reduction, rather than restricting activity that delivers meaningful social and educational impact.
You can find our Environmental Policy here.
Neurodiverse Training operates a structurally low‑carbon business model.
Scope 1 – Direct emissions
No owned or leased vehicles
No on‑site fuel combustion
Total Scope 1 emissions: 0 tCO₂e
Scope 2 – Indirect emissions (purchased energy)
No owned or leased premises
Remote‑first workforce
Energy use embedded within third‑party venues and home working
Total Scope 2 emissions: Not directly reportable
Scope 3 – Indirect emissions (value chain)
Primary sources include:
Business travel for in‑person training (rail, limited car use, minimal air travel)
Digital infrastructure (cloud platforms, learning systems, video conferencing)
Purchased goods and services (IT equipment, training materials)
Staff and associate commuting
Baseline Scope 3 emissions: Low but non‑zero; qualitative baseline established
Given the organisation’s size and operating model, a qualitative baseline with structured monitoring is considered proportionate and appropriate.
As in‑person delivery expands, absolute Scope 3 emissions may increase in the short term. However, emissions growth is actively constrained through delivery planning, travel mode controls, and digital substitution where appropriate.
The organisation prioritises year‑on‑year reductions in emissions intensity, rather than absolute reductions alone.
However year end of 2025 we implemented an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) which has resulted in massive reductions achieved through:
consolidation of software use from over 10 online platforms (MS Forms, Dropbox Sign, Monday, etc) to mainly 1.
use of ERP 'chatter' to reduce staff emails by 100's a week.
use of ERP Environmental and Social Governance module to track how our use of this software converts to carbon and paper reductions through staff uses of the program over email, and other software.
| Target Year | Commitment |
|---|---|
| 2027 | Maintain zero Scope 1 emissions and establish formal tracking of travel‑related emissions intensity |
| 2030 | Achieve a minimum 30–50% reduction in emissions per training day and per delegate relative to baseline |
| 2035 | Near‑elimination of carbon‑intensive travel except where clinically, legally, or accessibility‑related requirements apply |
| 2045 | Net Zero across all scopes |
These targets explicitly allow for organisational growth and increased in‑person delivery, provided emissions efficiency continues to improve.
Blended delivery model, preferencing online delivery
Remote‑first internal operations, minimising routine commuting
Paper‑minimal delivery, with printed materials provided only as reasonable adjustments
Reuse and responsible disposal of IT and office equipment
Geographic clustering of in‑person delivery to reduce repeat travel
Preference for regionally‑based associates to minimise long‑distance travel
Ongoing review of venue selection to prioritise accessible, well‑connected locations
Responsibility for delivery of this Carbon Reduction Plan sits with the Executive Leadership Team.
Environmental performance is reviewed annually alongside the Environmental Policy, with specific consideration given to:
Emissions intensity trends
Growth in in‑person delivery
Opportunities to further reduce avoidable travel
This Carbon Reduction Plan is publicly available and has been prepared in line with UK Government guidance, using a proportionate approach suitable for an SME delivering blended in‑person and digital training.
