Shivom Consultancy Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
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.
| Baseline Year: 2020 | |
| Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. | |
Our baseline year was chosen as 2020 as we attained significant growth in 2020 • Scope 1: Includes direct emissions, including those associated with the direct consumption of natural gas, heating oil, Petrol fuel as well as emissions associated with owned and leased vehicles and fugitive emissions. To meet our carbon reduction goals we agreed not hire an office and instead created an Organisation culture to work remotely. • Scope 2: Includes indirect emissions including those associated with the purchase and consumption of local electricity and distinct heating energy. For Scope 1 and 2 calculations we followed the HM Government Environmental and Reporting Guidelines. We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol – Corporate Standard and the UK Government’s Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2024. • Scope 3: (Categories 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) covers other indirect emissions such as business travel, hotel stays, waste disposal, upstream emissions from purchased fuels and electricity. Emissions from employee’s teleworking have also been factored in including estimates from home energy consumption. For Scope 3 calculations we followed the guidance of GHG Reporting Protocol – Corporate Standard and have used the UK Government’s Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2024 for reporting. Different advised methods of calculations have been employed to calculate best these emissions including fuel method, distance method, spend method using proxy techniques, industry averages | |

*Notes
In 2024 our employees continued working remotely, due to increased operational workload and hiring of apprentices we leased a small office. We are implementing a system to manage the data and quality of reporting. We have calculated our baseline and expected metrics using available online tools record best estimates across the required measurement categories. We expect our reporting to mature significantly over the coming years.
For the year to date, our GHG emissions have not changed much since last period despite growth in organisation.
In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.
We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years further by 10 percent.
Due to COVID and subsequent lockdowns, our emissions for 2020 have drastically reduced across all the three scope sections. With lockdowns opening up, and people working from office, we expect an increase in emissions, we are establishing robust remote working policies and working practices to reduce the carbon footprint. We are committed to reduce the emissions under scope 3 by reducing business travel, waste generated by our operations and keeping a watch on our upstream and downstream transportation activities
Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:
Declaration and Sign Off
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.
Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard[1] and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting[2].
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard[3].
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
