Carbon Reduction Plan
Commitment to achieving Net Zero:
SNHA 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.
| Current Reporting Period | 2024 | |
| Emissions | Total (tCO2eq) | Per Employee (tCO2eq) |
| Scope 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Scope 2 (market) | 47.81 | 0.92 |
| Scope 2 (location) | 21.24 | 0.41 |
| Scope 3 | 67.26 | 1.29 |
| Total Emissions | 115.07 | 2.21 |
| Reporting Method | Our total emissions take market based emission factors into account to reflect our purchasing power | |
| Included Sources | Scope 1 covers Stationary Combustion Emissions, Fugitive Emissions and Mobile Combustion. Scope 2 covers Purchased Electricity. Scope 3 covers Purchased Goods and Services (1), Capital Goods (2), Fuel- and Energy-Related Activities Not Included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 (3), Waste Generated in Operations (5), Business Travel (6), Employee Commuting (7) and Downstream Transportation And Distribution (9). | |

Emission Reduction Targets
SNHA is committed to being net-zero aligned by 2050. We will do this by aligning our Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions to the following:
We will make Scope 1 emissions zero by 2030. We will do this by working with our facilities team to minimise the use of fossil fuel for heating.
We will make Scope 2 emissions zero by 2030. We will do this by ensuring we are supplied by low carbon electricity sources.
We will reduce our Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030 in line with the Science Based Targets initiative.
Carbon Reduction Actions
At SNHA we are committed to promoting sustainability, protecting the environment, and creating a prosperous world for future generations. Promoting a broader sustainability agenda is integral to SNHA’s professional activities and our management.
We aim to lead by example by following good sustainability practices, to reduce the direct environmental impacts of all our activities, advance our positive contributions to the planet and our society, and to help our clients and partners to do the same.

We will reduce our Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030 in line with the Science Based Targets initiative. We will do this by:
- We will do this by encouraging and supporting our employees as they transition to low-carbon modes of transport
- We will do this by selecting suppliers that align with our net zero strategy
- We will do this by supporting our employees with a transition to low carbon power, and by providing the training needed for them to understand the impact of working from home
We will also do this by aligning at least 80% of our supply chain to a high standard including (but not limited to) published carbon reporting and a published net zero plan.
We will review this at a later date if things change.
