About Carbon Reduction Plans
Carbon Reduction Plans (CRP) detail an organisation’s approach to reducing emissions across a range of emissions and greenhouse gases. These plans help businesses and stakeholders understand the impact their operation has on the environment.
In 2019, the UK became the first major economy to adopt a legal commitment to achieve ‘Net Zero’ carbon emissions by 2050.
Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21 sets out how suppliers’ Decarbonisation Plans and commitment to Net Zero can be demonstrated by way of a CRP and then taken into account in the procurement of Government contracts.
From 2021, suppliers who bid for large government contracts have to comply with PPN 06/21.
