PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan: built on audit-ready data

UK public sector contracts over £5M require a Carbon Reduction Plan aligned to PPN 006. GreenKPO produces the structured, traceable emissions data your CRP needs, from Scope 1 and 2 baseline to net-zero pathway.

What is PPN 006?

Procurement Policy Note 006 (PPN 006) requires all suppliers bidding for UK central government contracts valued at £5M or more per year to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan. The CRP must include your current Scope 1 and 2 emissions baseline, your commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, and the specific measures you are taking to reduce emissions. The data behind your CRP must be verifiable: a spreadsheet estimate will not satisfy a procurement challenge. GreenKPO produces the structured, auditable emissions data that makes your CRP credible and defensible.

What GreenKPO produces for your PPN 006 submission

GreenKPO captures your Scope 1 and 2 emissions from existing business data: energy invoices, vehicle records, and operational data. It calculates your baseline against DEFRA-approved emission factors. Every figure is tagged to its source, logged in the KPOTrust immutable audit trail, and exportable in a structured format your procurement team can present directly. The report meets the data requirements for a PPN 006-compliant Carbon Reduction Plan without requiring a sustainability team or external consultant.
