4. Emissions Reduction Targets
Coba Education is committed to reducing emissions year-on-year to achieve Net Zero by 2040. We project that carbon emissions will decrease overtime as shown below:
Short Term Targets (2025-2028)
- We currently use E-ON Next who provide 100% renewable electricity.
- We are reviewing our refuse contracts, as we don’t have our own collections but use a consortium within our estate. We have already spoken to the management company about this and what improvements can be made.
Long Term Targets (2028-2040)
- We plan to continue to progressively decrease our emissions, aiming for a 70% reduction by 2035, with the ultimate goal of eliminating all Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2040.
- We will expand our focus to other categories, such as employee commuting and upstream transportation, aiming for a 50% reduction in these emissions by 2035.
Regular monitoring and reporting will be conducted to ensure we stay on track, with adjustments made as necessary to meet our Net Zero commitment by 2040.
5. Carbon Reduction Projects
At Coba Education Ltd, our commitment to reducing carbon emissions is central to our operations and client engagements. Our carbon reduction initiatives are designed to align with ISO 14001 and PAS 2060 standards, ensuring that our environmental management and carbon neutrality effort are robust and effective:

- Virtual Interviews & Meetings: Minimise travel-related emissions by using video conferencing for candidate and client interactions.
- Waste Reduction & Recycling Programs: We currently have communal services for our estate, but we have already reached out to management company and are in discussions to improve the offerings and include food waste as well as recycling.
- Green Procurement: Work with environmentally responsible vendors and integrate sustainability criteria into supplier selection.
- Staff Awareness & Training: Run sustainability workshops and campaigns to engage employees in carbon reduction goals.
