Commitment
Vivup (SME HCI Limited) is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured. This Carbon Footprint Plan (CRP) is the baseline year January 2022 – December 2022.

Emissions reduction targets
Vivup (SME HCI Limited) is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2040.
As this is our first Carbon Reduction Plan, there are no existing carbon emission reduction targets against which to report progress.
To progress towards Net Zero, this plan sets carbon reduction targets for the 7-year period to 2030. During this time, targets will be set for the remaining period to ensure Net Zero will be achieved by 2040.

Add a statement to internal business travel policy to support environmental impact of choices when travelling, staying in hotels and commuting. The priorities within this policy will support active travel and low emission travel options where appropriate. Monitor and consider alternatives to air-travel as a priority and commit to offering support to workforce with options for active travel schemes; such as bike to work or car sharing opportunities (where appropriate) or internal carbon credit setting to support unavoidable travel. Utilising technology to support meetings to offer more flexibility to clients and to own internal workforce. |

Explore and comment to a strategy to understand pinch points within supply chain and gain further granular detail within each area. Engage and focus on supply chain analysis in two phases ensuring the messaging is inclusive to use as a global standard. This includes statements and policies that align with CDP. Phase 1 - Survey long standing suppliers and gain further granular information in regard to their targets and commitments – once data is collated, score these suppliers to create informed decisions for the future. Considerations include their Net Zero strategy, transparency, and their ethical credentials. Phase 2 - Create a global policy strategy for preferred spend with local and informed suppliers within the chain. Support or encourage suppliers that are not as informed to commit to robust targets. Align with Exponential Roadmap for further support. |
