Last updated January 2026.
Baseline emissions represent the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by Redcentric Solutions Ltd prior to the implementation of formal emissions reduction initiatives. They provide the reference point against which future performance and progress toward emissions reduction targets can be measured.
The baseline year has been set as FY2021/22 (1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022). This period represents the first year in which a comprehensive and methodologically robust emissions dataset was established across the organisation.
Historically, Scope 3 emissions were not reported, and where initially captured for SECR purposes, data was limited to mileage-based estimates. For the FY2021/22 baseline, Redcentric undertook a significantly enhanced data collection exercise, enabling the capture of a full and materially complete dataset across all relevant emissions sources.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 energy consumption and associated carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions were calculated in line with the 2019 UK Government Environmental Reporting Guidance, using the UK Government GHG Emissions Factors Database (2021, Version 1). Emissions factors applied reflect the appropriate gross calorific values (CV) and kgCO₂e conversion factors for the reporting period.
Although Redcentric procures renewable electricity across all facilities, and Scope 2 emissions could therefore be reported as zero under a market-based methodology, a location-based approach has been adopted. This ensures consistency, transparency, and comparability over time, enabling accurate year-on-year monitoring of energy consumption and emissions performance.
Scope 3 emissions were calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard, following a detailed assessment of relevance and materiality. Of the fifteen Scope 3 categories defined by the Protocol, nine were identified as applicable to Redcentric’s operating model and have been included within the baseline.
The resulting baseline emissions for FY2021/22 are set out below and form the foundation against which Redcentric will measure and manage its ongoing carbon reduction performance.

Redcentric is managing a comprehensive Net Zero strategy and decarbonisation roadmap that has defined clear pathways and practical measures to achieve our commitment to Net Zero by 2050. This strategy has set out both near-term and long-term actions, underpinned by robust governance, data quality, and measurable targets aligned to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Our decarbonisation priorities focus on reducing electricity consumption, improving energy efficiency across our estate, optimising the utilisation of sites and buildings, strengthening sustainable procurement practices, and engaging our people in emissions-reduction initiatives. As a managed services provider operating multiple data centres, a significant proportion of our emissions arises from grid-supplied electricity. While we currently procure renewable electricity for all operational sites, achieving Net Zero requires a dual approach: continued efficiency improvements alongside a reduction in overall reliance on the national grid.
To support this transition, Redcentric is actively assessing opportunities to generate renewable energy on-site, including the potential installation of solar photovoltaic systems, alongside other low-carbon technologies. These initiatives form a core component of our Net Zero plans and support sustained reductions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
Redcentric is committed to continuous improvement in operational energy efficiency as part of our journey to Net Zero. Key initiatives implemented to date include:
Data Centre Energy Efficiency Improvements
Workplace and Operational Efficiencies
Emissions Management and Governance
Redcentric intends to build on this progress through further targeted investment and programme development, including:
