How to Create a Carbon Reduction Plan (PPN 006)

Meet PPN 006 requirements for government contract tenders with a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan.

What is a Carbon Reduction Plan?

A Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) is required under PPN 06/21 for UK central government contracts valued at more than £5 million per year.

Step 1: Measure Your Current Emissions

Your CRP must include Scope 1, Scope 2, and a minimum of Scope 3 business travel and employee commuting.

Step 2: Set Your Net Zero Target

Your CRP must include a commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 with interim targets.

Step 3: Outline Your Reduction Measures

List specific environmental management measures and carbon reduction projects.

Step 4: Publish and Submit

The CRP must be published on your website, signed by a director, updated annually, and submitted with tenders.
