Carbon Reduction Plan.
We are committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2045 when we plan to have reduced our emissions by 90%.
Baseline Emissions Footprint vs Current Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gasses 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.

Additional Details About our Emissions and Targets
2024
The number of Annalise.ai UK based employees increased in 2024 due to Company expansion. The total emissions figure for 2024 reflects this increase. As our UK based team increases in number, we continue our commitment to ensure each new employee is aware of our focus on carbon reduction across all areas of our company. We actively encourage the use of public transport by all our employees. Our commitment to reducing carbon emissions continues to align with the NHS’s decarbonisation goals, even as a primarily software-centric provider. As a remote-first company we leverage advanced technology to facilitate communication and collaboration, diminishing the need for commuting and thereby cutting transportation emissions significantly. We have focused on UK emissions only in this Carbon Reduction Plan. Scope 1 and Scope 2: We have a home-based UK workforce so do not have an office building nor any employee commuting, we do not have company cars, we are a software company so we do not use delivery vehicles nor do we freight any goods, we do not dispose of any waste. As a result, we do not have Scope 1 or 2 emissions. Scope 3: We do not import, distribute or dispose of goods to/in the UK as our software business is web based.
