Better Health for All

Pinewood Technologies Group PLC's core business of providing Dealer Management System (DMS) software for the automotive retail sector does not directly involve health-related products or services. Consequently, most KPIs related to health impact, harmful revenue, safety, accessibility, vulnerable reach, risk transparency, health innovation, health equity, healthcare workforce support, preventative health, healthcare data, global health crisis response, mental health, healthcare education, addiction mitigation, and clinical trial ethics are not applicable to its operations within the scope of 'Better Health for All'. The company has, however, demonstrated significant positive health externalities through its environmental efforts. By the end of FY25, Pinewood achieved a 33% reduction in emissions using a location-based approach and a 66% reduction using a market-based approach, which includes purchasing 100% of electricity from renewable sources since April 2020.

The company also invested £1.0 million in a 30-year conservation program with the Surrey Wildlife Trust and a further c.£1 million into biodiversity enhancements in the River Ash Corridor, with a £300,000 grant for its maintenance. These actions contribute to a healthier environment, leading to significant positive health externalities for communities.

Planet-Friendly Business

Pinewood Technologies Group PLC reported total gross Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of 473 tCO2e for FY24 (11 months), representing a 98.01% reduction from 23,800 tCO2e in FY23 (13 months).

The company has not publicly committed to specific climate goals through major frameworks like SBTi, although it targets a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions over the next three years from a 2024 baseline. The company is consistent with full TCFD disclosure for nine items and partially consistent with two, specifically regarding the financial impact of climate-related risks on the SaaS business and the scope of Scope 3 emissions. It has assessed potential climate-related risks for its SaaS business under 'below 2 degrees' and 'above 3 degrees' scenarios, linking them to its business model and resilience.
