Carbon Footprint
We measure all Scope 1,2,3 GHG emissions related to our business activities.
- Scope 1 relates to our company fleet, natural gas and biomass consumption
- Scope 2 relates to our grid electricity consumption
- Scope 3 relates to our water, raw material, waste, packaging and materials/product transportation
BA is committed to reducing Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using a baseline year of FY23

Actions taken in FY24 to improve energy consumption
a) Invest NI Energy and Carbon Assessment carried out in August 2023
b) ESOS Site Energy Audit carried out in January 2024
c) An additional 1679kWp Solar PV system installed in March 2024
d) Fleet cars transitioned to hybrid electric
The Invest NI Energy Carbon Assessment and ESOS Energy Audit have identified several opportunities for us to improve energy efficiency and carbon reduction across the business. We have reviewed these opportunities and have a plan in place to implement the improvements over the coming years.
