Habitual Healthcare Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, in line
with UK Government policy, NHS Net Zero ambitions and the NHS Supplier Roadmap.
As a provider of digital weight-management and Total Diet Replacement (TDR) services, Habitual
recognises the impact that climate change has on population health and is committed to reducing
emissions associated with its operations, supply chain and service delivery. Sustainability principles are
being embedded within the organisation's governance, product design and procurement processes.
This commitment applies to all activities undertaken by Habitual, including delivery of the TDR element of
the NHS Healthier You Service as a subcontractor to Southampton Primary Care Ltd.
Habitual Healthcare Ltd is a digital health company providing app-based behavioural support,
science-backed weight-management programmes, Total Diet Replacement (TDR) products and
prescription weight-management medication (GLP-1) to help people build sustainable, healthier habits.
The organisation employs 7 staff and operates on a remote-first basis, with staff working from home for
approximately 80% of the time (around four days per week) and using a shared coworking (WeWork)
office for around one day per week. Habitual owns no premises, has no company vehicles and has no
on-site fuel use. Services are delivered digitally through the Habitual platform, with physical products
fulfilled through third-party manufacturing, logistics and pharmacy partners. This operating model keeps
Habitual's direct footprint (Scopes 1 and 2) at nil, with its reportable emissions arising in a small number of
Scope 3 categories.
Reporting Period
Baseline / Reporting Period: 2025/2026
Reporting Date: 15 July 2026
This reporting period is within 12 months of the commencement of this procurement.
As this is Habitual's first Carbon Reduction Plan, the organisation did not hold measured emissions data at the time of
preparation. This plan reports Scope 1, Scope 2 and the mandatory Scope 3 categories required under the Technical
standard for Carbon Reduction Plans (PPN 06/21): business travel, employee commuting, waste generated in
operations, and upstream and downstream transportation and distribution. The figures below are good-faith estimates
derived from actual activity data (headcount, working arrangements, travel, and third-party logistics) using recognised
emission factors consistent with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and UK Government (DESNZ/DEFRA) conversion
factors.
Purchased goods and services – including the TDR meal products and GLP-1 medication that Habitual provides – are
not separately quantified in this first plan, as robust, supplier-verified data is not yet available and Habitual does not
wish to report figures it cannot yet stand behind. These categories are expected to represent a significant part of
Habitual's wider value-chain footprint and are a priority for measurement in future reporting periods, working with the
meal manufacturer and partner pharmacy to obtain verified product-level data.
Habitual Healthcare Ltd – Carbon Reduction Plan 2026 Page 1Emissions Source Total Emissions
(tCO2e) Basis
Scope 1 0 No vehicles, fuel combustion or premises
Scope 2 0 No company office / purchased energy
Scope 3 ~32
Transport & distribution, business travel,
commuting, waste (PPN 06/21 mandatory
categories)
Total Emissions ~32 Estimated
All Scope 3 figures are estimates. Totals are rounded.
Based on 7 full-time equivalent employees, this equates to an estimated carbon intensity of approximately 4.6 tCO2e
per FTE across the reported categories. This reflects Habitual's low-footprint, remote-first operating model. It excludes
purchased goods and services (see above), which are not yet reliably quantified; the intensity figure will therefore be
restated once value-chain data is incorporated. As the business grows, Habitual will also track emissions per customer
served as a more representative measure of progress.
Scope 1 Emissions
Nil. Habitual operates no company-owned or controlled vehicles, has no on-site fuel combustion (no
boilers, generators or gas heating) and owns or controls no premises. Direct emissions are therefore
assessed as zero.
Scope 2 Emissions
Nil. Habitual does not directly purchase electricity, heat, steam or cooling. Staff work primarily from home,
and the shared coworking (WeWork) office used approximately one day per week is provided as a
serviced membership, with energy procured and controlled by the coworking provider rather than by
Habitual. Purchased-energy emissions are therefore assessed as zero; any coworking energy sits outside
Habitual's reporting boundary.
Scope 3 Emissions
This plan reports the Scope 3 categories mandated under PPN 06/21. Estimated emissions arise from the
following sources:

Habitual Healthcare Ltd – Carbon Reduction Plan 2026 Page 2The plan covers Scopes 1 and 2 and the mandatory Scope 3 categories under PPN 06/21. Purchased goods and
services (including TDR meal products and GLP-1 medication) are not yet quantified, pending reliable supplier-verified
data, and are a priority for future reporting.
Incidental expensed items such as occasional team meals and activities are not separately quantified, as they are
immaterial for a team of this size.
*Emissions have been estimated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and
Reporting Standard, using UK Government (DESNZ/DEFRA) greenhouse gas conversion factors and recognised
activity- and spend-based methodologies.
Emissions Reduction Measures
As a small, remote-first and digital organisation, Habitual's operating model already avoids many common
sources of emissions (an owned office estate, a company fleet and daily commuting). The measures below
are separated into those already in place and those planned in line with Habitual's Net Zero commitment.
Completed / In-Place Measures

Monitoring and Reporting
Carbon reduction performance will be monitored through the organisation's governance arrangements.
Key indicators will include:
Habitual Healthcare Ltd – Carbon Reduction Plan 2026 Page 3• Scope 1, 2 and the mandatory Scope 3 categories.
• Business travel (mode, distance) and employee commuting.
• Upstream and downstream transport and distribution activity.
• Progress towards measuring purchased goods & services (meals and medication).
• Waste, once any office-based operations become material.
Progress against targets will be reviewed at least annually by Habitual's senior leadership as part of the
organisation's governance framework.
Carbon Reduction Targets
Habitual is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2045. Because Habitual operates no premises, vehicles or
on-site fuel, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are already nil and will be maintained at zero. The following
near- and long-term targets have been set against the 2025/26 baseline for the reported categories. As the
baseline is estimate-based and does not yet include purchased goods and services, it will be re-baselined
once that data is obtained, while maintaining the Net Zero by 2045 commitment.
Near-term targets
• Maintain Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at zero.
• Measure and report purchased goods & services (meals and medication) to give a complete footprint by
2027, and re-baseline accordingly.
• Reduce reported Scope 3 emissions by 15% by 2028 and 30% by 2030 against the 2025/26 baseline.
Long-term targets
• Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2035 and 75% by 2040 against the 2025/26 baseline.
• Achieve Net Zero by 2045.
Year Target (vs 2025/26 baseline)
Baseline 2025 / 2026 ~32 tCO2e (estimated, reported categories)
2028 15% reduction
2030 30% reduction
2035 50% reduction
2040 75% reduction
2045 Net Zero
Progress against these targets will be reviewed annually through organisational governance
arrangements.
The targets above are expressed as absolute reductions against the baseline year, consistent with the
approach taken across the wider bid. Because Habitual's future footprint will be dominated by purchased
goods that scale with the number of customers served, Habitual will additionally track carbon intensity – for
example emissions per customer – as its primary internal measure of progress once that data is available.
This ensures genuine efficiency improvements are captured even as the business grows, and the absolute
baseline and targets will be reviewed and re-based as the organisation scales and value-chain data is
incorporated.
Habitual Healthcare Ltd – Carbon Reduction Plan 2026 Page 4Declaration and Sign-Off
Emissions have been reported and recorded with reference to the Technical standard for Carbon
Reduction Plans (PPN 06/21), the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard, and the UK
Government (DESNZ/DEFRA) conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.
As this is Habitual's first Carbon Reduction Plan, the organisation did not hold measured emissions data at
the time of preparation. This plan reports Scope 1, Scope 2 and the mandatory Scope 3 categories
required under PPN 06/21. Figures are good-faith estimates based on the activity data available
(headcount, working arrangements, travel and third-party logistics). Purchased goods and services are not
yet quantified and will be measured and reported in future periods, at which point the baseline will be
restated.
The information contained within this Carbon Reduction Plan is accurate and complete to the best of
Habitual Healthcare Ltd's knowledge and has been reviewed and approved by the organisation's senior
leadership.
