Bright Future Care Ltd | Carbon Reduction Plan Page 1 of 7 Director S tatement Carbon Reduction Plan Bright Future Care Ltd Reporting period: 01 November 2024 to 31 October 2025 Bright Future Care Ltd confirms its commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 . This plan has been prepared to show the company’s current emissions position, the management arrangements used to control carbon impacts, and the practical measures that will be applied while delivering a Care Contract. This document is structured as a management plan rather than a publicity statement. It focuses on the company’s actual operating levers: travel planning, procurement discipline, office energy control and annual performance review.

Carbon position at a glance Item Position Reporting period 01 November 2024 to 31 October 2025 Baseline comparator 01 November 2023 to 31 October 2024 Current reported emissions 63.7 tCO2e Baseline emissions 68.9 tCO2e Overall movement 7.5% reduction Net Zero commitment 2050 Figure 1. Total reported emissions compared with the baseline year. The reduction against baseline is modest rather than dramatic, which is appropriate for a care provider whose main carbon driver is service delivery travel. The purpose of the plan is therefore to demonstrate a disciplined reduction path rather th an an imp lausible short term step change. Bright Future Care Ltd | Carbon Reduction Plan Page 3 of 7 2. How Bright Future accounts for emissions Bright Future has prepared this plan using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard together with the latest UK Government Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors for Company Reporting that were available at the time of calculation. The reporting boundary follows an operational control approach. Utility records, mileage claims, purchase information and other activity data have been used as the primary sources. Where invoices provide direct consumption information, those figures have been applied. Where only activity measures are available, the corresponding conversion factor has been used to create an estimate. The company treats travel data as the most material evidence source because community care operations depend on movement between service users, reviews and management support. The methodology therefore gives particular attention to mileage records, claimed travel and scheduling assumptions. Small categories that are not material in value are included conservatively rather than omitted. Methodology component Approach used by the company Boundary Operational control Conversion factors UK Government GHG factors for company reporting Accounting frame GHG Protocol Corporate Standard Core data sources Utility bills, mileage claims, purchase records, waste records and management review Treatment of estimation Conservative estimate where direct source data is incomplete Bright Future Care Ltd | Carbon Reduction Plan Page 4 of 7 3. Emissions inventory Scope Baseline Current Scope 1 5.6 tCO2e 4.9 tCO2e Scope 2 7.1 tCO2e 6.6 tCO2e Scope 3 56.2 tCO2e 52.2 tCO2e Total 68.9 tCO2e 63.7 tCO2e Bright Future tracks the make - up of Scope 3 because that is the category where management action has the greatest effect. The current reporting period estimate is made up principally of travel between visits, with a smaller but still relevant contribution from commuting, purchased goods and services, upstream transport, home working and waste. Scope 3 category Current emissions Business travel 34.8 tCO2e Employee commuting 7.5 tCO2e Purchased goods and services 5.1 tCO2e Upstream transport and distribution 1.5 tCO2e Home working 1.3 tCO2e Fuel and energy related activity 1.1 tCO2e Waste generated in operations 0.9 tCO2e The inventory confirms that the most credible route to lower emissions lies in fewer miles, lower emission miles, lower paper dependence and better control over routine purchasing. It also shows that the company’s office footprint is not the primary issue; it is relevant, but it is not the dominant source. Bright Future Care Ltd | Carbon Reduction Plan Page 5 of 7 4. Management programme for reduction Bright Future manages carbon in the same way that it manages other operational performance topics: through accountable actions, scheduled review and measurable indicators. The current programme is built around four management themes. First, rota design is reviewed so that care visits are sequenced in a way that cuts unnecessary travel. Second, lower emission transport is encouraged where practical. Third, office energy use is controlled through routine settings rather than sporadic campaigns. Fourth, record s and forms continue to move away from paper handling. Programme area Action in place or planned Primary indicator Travel planning More postcode based clustering and review of outlier travel days Mileage per rota block Vehicle choice Encouragement of lower emission travel where practical and affordable Average business travel emissions Office energy Shutdown discipline, efficient equipment use and utility review Electricity use trend Digital working Lower print dependence and fewer paper based file movements Print volume and stationery spend Bright Future Care Ltd | Carbon Reduction Plan Page 6 of 7 5. Environmental controls during the Care Contract When performing a Care Contract, the company will apply contract facing controls rather than treating carbon as a separate corporate topic. Scheduling will be locality aware and reviewed where there is avoidable travel. Review visits and management checks will be combined with operational movement where possible. Electronic records will remain the default to reduce printed packs. Deliveries of supplies will be consolidated where service continuity allows. Training linked to the contract will use remote or b lended methods where that does not reduce quality. These measures are intended to keep emissions lower without weakening responsiveness or safeguarding standards.

Review cycle and forward targets The company will refresh this plan annually. Each refresh will examine whether total emissions have moved in line with expectation, whether travel remains the dominant category, and whether the selected indicators still match the operating model. Bright Fu ture is working to reduce total reported emissions by at least 20 percent from the current reporting period by the end of the 2028 reporting year, by at least 35 percent by the end of 2030, and to continue on a managed pathway to Net Zero by 2050. The comp any does not intend to rely on offsetting as a substitute for operational change during the early stages of the pathway. Review question Evidence to be used Has business travel reduced or become lower emission? Mileage, claims and travel pattern review Has office energy performance improved? Utility data and spend trend Are procurement choices consistent with reduction aims? Order history and supplier review Are contract controls being used in practice? Operational audit and management check 7. Assurance and declaration This document has been prepared for procurement use and is intended to provide a fair and proportionate representation of the company’s emissions profile. It records the company’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050, reports current emissions for Scop e 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 using recognised methodology, and sets out the management measures that will apply during a Care Contract. Formal declaration: Bright Future Care Ltd will maintain this plan under review, update it at least annually and apply the environmental controls described within it while performing a Care Contract.
