Commitment to achieving net zero
Mixd is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2040.
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.
| Baseline year: 2024/2025 | |
| Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations: | |
| This is the first year of reporting carbon emissions. In future years, we’ll show how we’ve reduced carbon from these baseline figures. | |
| Baseline year emissions: | |
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | 0.00 |
| Scope 2 | 2.27 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 26.8 |
| Total emissions | 29.1 |
Current emissions reporting
| Reporting year: 2024/2025 | |
| Emissions | Total (tCO2e) |
| Scope 1 | 0.00 |
| Scope 2 | 2.27 |
| Scope 3 (included sources) | 26.8 |
| Total emissions | 29.1 |
Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress to achieving net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 15 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 48%.

Carbon reduction projects
At Mixd, we care deeply about our impact on the world around us. As a digital agency, our footprint may be small compared to some industries, but we believe every organisation has a role to play in tackling the climate crisis. Our goal this year is to lay strong foundations. We’ve set a reduction target of 5% per person, with a stretch goal of 10%, as we begin tracking and learning more about our impact. This forms part of our longer-term ambition to be net zero by 2040, or sooner if possible.
Completed carbon reduction initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed by Mixd to manage and reduce our Carbon Emissions.
These measures will be in effect when performing any contract.
- Our remote-first working policy continues to be in place. It not only reduces our commuting related emissions but also energy to run offices.
- Mixd advocated a paperless policy several years ago. Staff collaborate on Google’s G Suite platform and store documents in our Cloud storage space rather than print paper copies. We chose G Suite as our collaboration platform as Google is carbon neutral and is committed to be 100% carbon free by 2030.
- Parallel to our remote working policy, we have moved to virtual meetings both internally and externally, where possible, to reduce business and commuting travel.
- We encourage staff to consider the carbon footprint of their virtual meetings, including being selective on the need to record (and store recordings of) meetings.
- We have encouraged our staff to adopt low-impact working habits, like powering down equipment and avoiding standby, using renewable energy tariffs at home and offering guidance on switching.
- In 2024 we launched the Salary Sacrifice EV scheme with loveelectric to help staff buy electric vehicles and reduce their personal carbon footprint. Three employees have ordered vehicles through this scheme.
- We offer a Cycle to Work scheme for staff who commute into work in line with the Government’s Green T ransport Plan.
- In 2025, we reduced the size of our office space to better reflect how we work. As part of this change, we prioritised a space that is energy-efficient and aligned with strong environmental values. We’ll continue to assess the environmental impact of our workspace and look for ways to minimise it further in 2026.
- In 2025, we set up a new internal Sustainability and Environmental Group, focused on sustainability across the business and have begun researching best practices across the tech industry.
Future carbon reduction initiatives
In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
- Review and amend our Travel Expenses Policy to emphasise that the environmental impact of the chosen method of travel must be considered alongside the financial cost.
- Switching to greener suppliers where possible who also have net zero carbon commitments.
- Annual staff surveys to establish commuting and home-working energy usage, so that future efforts to mitigate carbon emissions from these activities can be measured.
- We’ll adopt a circular IT policy, prioritising refurbished devices and responsible e-waste recycling.
- In future reports we hope to improve our estimates of digital emissions from cloud services.
- To lower our electricity use, we’ll explore default low-carbon settings in project tools (e.g. limit video resolution in calls).
- As part of our carbon reduction journey we will review our procurement processes in order to better select lower carbon services.
- As we host a large number of client websites, web hosting represents a significant part of our digital carbon footprint. We’re currently reviewing our hosting setup – including how and where we host – to identify opportunities to reduce emissions. This includes understanding the energy efficiency of different data centres, and exploring greener alternatives where appropriate. Planned infrastructure updates from our provider in 2025 are also expected to contribute to a lower overall footprint, but we’re not waiting on those changes alone to take action.
Declaration and sign off
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standards for Carbon Reduction Plans.
Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting2.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard3.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
