Carbon Plan
Supplier name: Univa Health Ltd (“Univa”)
Publication date: 5th January 2026
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Univa is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
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.

2025 represents the first year in which the company has formally measured and reported its organisational carbon footprint. As such, 2025 has been adopted as the baseline year for emissions reporting. Prior to 2025, the company did not have a complete or consistent process in place to collect emissions data in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. No historic Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions have therefore been restated or relied upon for baseline purposes. The baseline has been calculated using the best available activity data for the reporting period and appropriate UK Government GHG conversion factors. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been calculated in accordance with SECR requirements, and a defined subset of Scope 3 emissions has been included in line with the reporting standard set out in PPN 006. This baseline provides a robust and transparent reference point against which future emissions reductions will be measured and tracked on an annual basis. |

Emissions reduction targets
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 to 1.4079 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 5%.
Carbon Reduction Projects
Following the establishment of the 2025 baseline, the company has implemented and committed to a set of proportionate carbon reduction measures focused on emissions avoidance, efficiency, and structurally low-carbon operating practices. These measures are appropriate to the company’s size, stage of growth, and operational footprint, and will be maintained and reviewed annually.
The company’s carbon reduction approach prioritises emissions reduction at source over offsetting, in line with UK Government guidance.
Completed and ongoing measures
- The company operates a predominantly remote and hybrid working model, significantly reducing emissions associated with commuting and office space.
- Business travel is minimised by default, with virtual meetings prioritised. Where travel is necessary, rail is preferred over air travel where practicable.
- The company uses cloud-based digital infrastructure rather than on-premise servers, reducing the energy intensity associated with IT operations.
- Energy consumption associated with purchased electricity is minimised through the use of low-energy devices and power-management settings across company equipment.
- Waste generation is limited through paperless processes and digital-first workflows.
Planned measures
- Improve accuracy of emissions reporting to use more activity data and less assumptions.
- The company will continue to refine and expand Scope 3 data collection, with a focus on business travel, purchased goods and services, and digital service providers, in line with the reporting standard set out in PPN 006.
- Carbon considerations will be increasingly incorporated into procurement and supplier selection decisions, where relevant data is available.
- Actively engage our supply chain to declare their Net Zero targets, communicate their improvements and partner on projects.
- Emissions performance will be reviewed annually alongside business growth to ensure that increases in activity do not result in disproportionate increases in emissions intensity.
- The company will assess the appropriateness of adopting more formal environmental management frameworks as the organisation scales.
Responsibility for carbon reporting and the delivery of carbon reduction measures sits with senior management and is reviewed as part of the company’s annual planning and governance processes.
These measures will be in effect when performing public sector contracts and will be reviewed and updated as part of the company’s annual Carbon Reduction Plan refresh.
Declaration and Sign Off
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 006 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 standard13 and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting14.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements (where required), 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) Standard15.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
