Carbon Reduction Plan
Supplier name: LiveHybrid Ltd
Publication date: 28th May 2025
Commitment to achieving net zero
LiveHybrid Ltd is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2040. We will continue to reduce our carbon impact year on year through technology improvements and behavioural change. For any remaining residual emissions, we commit to purchasing certified carbon removals or accredited carbon credits, ensuring our net position is zero, in line with PPN 06/21 and government net zero policy.
Baseline emissions footprint
Baseline year: 2018
Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations:
Baseline emissions were calculated using UK Government GHG conversion factors for 2018. Included in scope are:
- Petrol use from a company vehicle (Toyota RAV4)
- 5% business share of household gas heating and grid electricity
- One long-haul business flight (Manchester to Orlando, Florida)
- Minimal office waste, mostly recycled
The business operates from a home office; no other significant Scope 1, 2, or 3 sources identified.
Baseline year emissions (tCO2e):
| Emissions source | tCO2e |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 (vehicle + gas) | 0.41 |
| Scope 2 (grid electricity) | 0.05 |
| Scope 3 (flight, waste) | 1.17 |
| Total | 1.63 |
Current emissions reporting
Reporting year: 2024
Emissions: Total (tCO2e)
| Emissions source | tCO2e |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 (gas heating, EV) | 0.09 |
| Scope 2 (green electricity) | 0.00 |
| Scope 3 (flight, waste) | 1.49 |
| Total emissions | 1.58 |
Additional details:
- The company vehicle is now electric and charged using 100% renewable electricity.
- Gas heating use for the office is halved due to an electric radiator (powered by renewables) and a new efficient boiler.
- Office electricity is on a 100% renewable tariff.
- One long-haul flight (Manchester–Las Vegas) is included; office waste remains very low.
Emissions reduction targets
In order to continue our progress toward net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 1.20 tCO2e by 2029—representing a 26% reduction from our 2018 baseline. Regardless of future operational changes, we will ensure any remaining residual emissions are balanced by purchasing certified carbon removals or carbon credits, in full alignment with PPN 06/21 and government net zero policy, until full decarbonisation is achieved.
Carbon reduction projects
Completed carbon reduction initiatives
The following initiatives have been completed or implemented since our 2018 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equates to 0.41 tCO2e, a 25% reduction against the 2018 baseline, and will be maintained throughout contract delivery.
- Replaced petrol company car with a fully electric vehicle (Tesla Model 3)
- Switched to a 100% renewable (“green”) electricity tariff
- Installed a new, more efficient gas boiler and reduced gas heating use by 50% with greater reliance on an electric radiator
- Increased use of cloud-based tools and virtual meetings, dramatically reducing business travel
- Smart office features introduced:
- Automatic LED lighting with occupancy and daylight sensors
- Smart control of desk power, with automatic shut-off when not in use
- Minimized office waste, recycling as standard operating procedure
Future carbon reduction initiatives
In the future, we intend to:
- Fully eliminate gas heating, replacing with electric heating or heat pumps
- Further reduce business travel—committing to “virtual meetings first” wherever practical
- Enhance collaboration with suppliers to reduce supply chain emissions
- Invest in additional office smart controls and automation to ensure optimal energy usage
- Consider accredited UK-certified carbon offsetting (e.g., Woodland Carbon Code) for unavoidable, residual emissions
- Continually monitor and transparently report our emissions, seeking further improvements
