Partial Disclosure

Energy consumption within the organisation

  1. Total fuel consumption within the organization from non-renewable sources, in joules or multiples, and including fuel types used.
  2. Total fuel consumption within the organization from renewable sources, in joules or multiples, and including fuel types used.
  3. In joules, watt-hours or multiples, the total:
    1. electricity consumption
    2. heating consumption
    3. cooling consumption
    4. steam consumption
  4. In joules, watt-hours or multiples, the total:
    1. electricity sold
    2. heating sold
    3. cooling sold
    4. steam sold
  5. Total energy consumption within the organization, in joules or multiples.
  6. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.
  7. Source of the conversion factors used.

Energy consumption and emissions are reported for Babcock Group and can be found on page 57 of our Annual Report.

The reporting period for our energy consumption and carbon emissions is the calendar year (01 January to 31 December), this is opposed to financial year as we have previously reported. The transition to calendar year reporting has allowed more time to collate, analyse and report our environmental data, which has improved the accuracy and completeness of our data sets.

For further detail please see the footnote of the Energy Consumption and Emissions on the 2022 Annual Report.

No Disclosure

Energy consumption outside of the organization

  1. Energy consumption outside of the organization, in joules or multiples.
  2. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.
  3. Source of the conversion factors used.

No disclosure. For more details see our Management Response.

GRI 302-03

Full Disclosure

Energy intensity

  1. Energy intensity ratio for the organization.
  2. Organization-specific metric (the denominator) chosen to calculate the ratio.
  3. Types of energy included in the intensity ratio; whether fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam, or all.
  4. Whether the ratio uses energy consumption within the organization, outside of it, or both.
Scope 1, 2 and 3 sources have been divided by the annual revenue to provide the intensity ratio (tCO2e per £m).
For more information see page 57 of our Annual Report.

GRI 302-04

Partial Disclosure

Reduction of energy consumption

  1. Amount of reductions in energy consumption achieved as a direct result of conservation and efficiency initiatives, in joules or multiples.
  2. Types of energy included in the reductions; whether fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam, or all.
  3. Basis for calculating reductions in energy consumption, such as base year or baseline, including the rationale for choosing it.
  4. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.

In line with our overall Carbon Reduction Plan and Plan Zero 40 approach, we are developing a range of targeted energy and carbon reduction plans across our operations at local site level.

We are also developing a centralised Environmental Data Management System across all operations, which will aid in providing a strong evidence base for further targeted energy reduction schemes and enable detailed KPI monitoring.

For details of our carbon reduction plan see page 58 of our Annual Report.

GRI 302-05

No Disclosure

Reductions in energy requirements of products and services

  1. Reductions in energy requirements of sold products and services achieved during the reporting period, in joules or multiples.
  2. Basis for calculating reductions in energy consumption, such as base year or baseline, including the rationale for choosing it.
  3. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.

No disclosure. For more details see our Management Response.
