1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

Tend VR Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

2. Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline Year: FY 2024/25

This is Tend VR Ltd's first Carbon Reduction Plan. As a small technology company with no manufacturing operations, fleet vehicles, or owned premises, Tend's emissions footprint is minimal.

Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): 0 tCO2e

Tend VR Ltd does not operate company vehicles, combustion plant, or owned premises. There are no direct Scope 1 emission sources.

Scope 2 (Energy Indirect Emissions): Estimated <1 tCO2e

Tend operates from shared co-working office space at Netil Corner, London. Energy consumption directly attributable to Tend is minimal within this shared environment. Tend does not have individual metering of energy use at this location.

Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Estimated 2–5 tCO2e

Scope 3 emissions include business travel (primarily rail), employee commuting, cloud computing services (DigitalOcean), and purchased goods and services. As a software company with a remote-first working model, these emissions are limited.

Total Estimated Emissions: 2–6 tCO2e

3. Current Emissions Reporting

Reporting Year: FY 2025/26

As this is Tend's first Carbon Reduction Plan, the current reporting period emissions are consistent with the baseline year estimates set out above.

Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): 0 tCO2e

No change from baseline. No direct emission sources.

Scope 2 (Energy Indirect Emissions): Estimated <1 tCO2e

No material change from baseline. Tend continues to operate from shared co-working space.

Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Estimated 2–5 tCO2e

No material change from baseline. Business travel, employee commuting, cloud computing, and purchased goods and services remain the primary Scope 3 sources.

Total Estimated Emissions: 2–6 tCO2e

Tend will undertake a more detailed emissions quantification during FY 2026/27 using SME-appropriate carbon accounting tools to establish a more precise baseline for future reporting.

4. Emissions Reduction Targets

Tend VR Ltd has set the following emissions reduction targets:

Near-term (by 2027): Complete detailed baseline quantification across all scopes. Formalise a sustainable travel policy. Ensure all cloud and technology providers have published Net Zero commitments.
Medium-term (by 2030): Achieve a 50% reduction in emissions against the FY 2024/25 baseline. Publish annual carbon footprint reports. Integrate environmental criteria into all procurement decisions.
Long-term (by 2050): Achieve Net Zero emissions across all operational scopes.

5. Carbon Reduction Projects — Completed and In Progress

The following environmental management measures are already in place:

Remote and hybrid working as default operating model, significantly reducing employee commuting emissions.
Cloud-first infrastructure with no on-premise servers, eliminating energy consumption from owned IT hardware.
Selection of DigitalOcean as cloud provider, which publishes environmental commitments via its ESG reporting.
VR-based intervention delivery model, which reduces patient travel compared to traditional face-to-face therapy sessions, contributing to carbon reduction across the wider healthcare system.
Prioritisation of rail over air travel for business trips.
Digital-first operations with minimal paper use and electronic records throughout.

6. Carbon Reduction Projects — Planned

Tend has identified the following additional measures for implementation:

Detailed Scope 1, 2 and 3 baseline quantification using SME-appropriate carbon accounting tools (FY 2026/27).
Formalisation of a sustainable procurement policy incorporating environmental criteria.
Employee carbon literacy training programme.
Exploration of verified carbon offset programmes for residual emissions that cannot be eliminated.
Annual review and update of this Carbon Reduction Plan.
