CRP & PPN 06/21
Easy PPN 06/21 compliance
Since 30th September 2021, all suppliers who bid for large government contracts (over £5 Million) must comply with PPN 06/21, stating their commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and how they will reach the target. To fully comply with PPN 06/21 you will need to create a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) and publish it on your website.
Since April 2024, if you are bidding for an NHS contract (irrespective of contract value) you are required to comply with PPN 06/21 guidelines.
Enistic has helped some of the best-known brands in the world comply with PPN 06/21. We have the expertise and technology to successfully guide you through the process, and our carbon accounting platform will help you to collect, manage, and analyse, effectively simplifying PPN 06/21 compliance.

Measure
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and are the reference point against which emission reductions can be measured.
Aims and targets
Targets allow you to judge whether the plans you made to reduce your carbon emissions are working, and whether the reductions achieved are meaningful.
Reduce
Select best carbon reduction projects for you and your business, based on your values, the cost, and likely payback time.
Track
Track your carbon emissions to reflect the changes and compare how well you are doing against the targets.
Offset
Offset schemes work by paying volunteers, companies or charities to do things which ‘negate’ your carbon emissions, for example, planting trees.
Certify
Certification is a valuable process that provides checks and balances for the sector.
Who needs to comply with PPN 06/21?
A Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) compliant with PPN 06/21 is essential for any organisation bidding for UK Government contracts over £5 million, as required under PPN 06/21. If you’re bidding for an NHS contract, a compliant CRP is mandatory regardless of the contract value. Beyond public sector requirements, many private sector organisations also expect suppliers to have a clear plan for reducing their emissions. A CRP not only helps you stay compliant—it also shows clients, investors, and stakeholders that you’re serious about sustainability and working towards Net Zero.
What data needs to be included in a PPN 06/21 report?
If you need a Carbon Reduction Plan compliant with PPN 06/21 you will need to calculate your Carbon Footprint, and create a report with the analysis. You will also need to create a carbon reduction strategy with targets and projects that you plan to take to achieve Net Zero. This part is normally also represented with graphs, with your progress mapped onto it.
Scope 1 emissions (all)
- Gas
- Fuels
- Company vehicles
Scope 2 emissions (all)
- Electricity
Scope 3 emissions (5/15)
- Upstream deliveries
- Downstream deliveries
- Business travel
- Staff commuting and work from home
- Waste
