Our commitment to Net Zero by 2045

Our mission is to improve lives, and that includes the world we leave for future generations. CoreCare Global Ltd, trading as Vivid Care, is committed to reaching Net Zero emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 sources by 2045 at the latest.

We publish a Carbon Reduction Plan in line with Procurement Policy Note 006, signed off by our board, setting out our baseline, our latest emissions and our targets.

  • Cut emissions by 50% against our 2021 baseline by 2030
  • Cut emissions by at least 90% by 2045, offsetting anything left
  • Targets aligned to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) methodology
  • Scope 2 emissions already at zero, through renewable electricity

Progress so far

What we've already done

Changes we've completed since our 2021 baseline.

100% renewable electricity

Since 2023, all our electricity has come from a REGO-certified renewable contract, so our market-based Scope 2 emissions are zero.

Electric and hybrid cars

Every company car switched to fully electric or hybrid during 2024 and 2025.

Electric vans

Fully electric vans have joined our operational fleet.

Over 80% sourced in the UK

More than 80% of our goods now come from UK suppliers, cutting the freight emissions that were our largest single source in 2023.

A smaller building footprint

We left our Harrogate premises for shared offices at Rofta House, Wetherby, reducing our building energy use.

Our journey to Net Zero

Our emissions and targets

Our baseline year is 2021, when our total footprint was 270.89 tCO2e. Our latest complete figures are for 2023, at 307.31 tCO2e. Scope 2 was already at zero, but Scope 3 rose above the baseline, mainly from transporting goods to us and from business mileage in personal vehicles.

The changes we’ve made since 2023, especially sourcing more in the UK and moving to electric and hybrid vehicles, target exactly these sources, and we expect a material reduction in our next reported year.

We project our total emissions will fall to 135.40 tCO2e by 2030 and 27.08 tCO2e by 2045.

Line chart of Vivid Care's carbon reduction targets: from a 2021 baseline of 270.89 tonnes of CO2e to 135.40 by 2030 (a 50% reduction) and 27.08 by 2045 (a 90% reduction).

Emissions by scope

Emissions in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), from our Carbon Reduction Plan published 16 July 2026.
Emissions 2021 baseline 2023
Scope 1 57.32 46.09
Scope 2 16.14 0.00 (market-based)
Scope 3 (included sources) 197.43 261.21
Total emissions 270.89 307.31

Our 2023 Scope 2 figure is market-based, because all our electricity is bought on a REGO-certified renewable contract. The location-based equivalent was 11.84 tCO2e. Scope 3 covers the categories required by PPN 006 (4, 5, 6, 7 and 9). We calculate emissions using the operational control approach under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, with UK Government GHG conversion factors.

Why our latest figures are for 2023

During 2024 and 2025 our group was restructured, and we moved from our Linkside House premises in Harrogate to shared offices at Rofta House in Wetherby. Emissions reporting was paused while this happened. We’re now collecting data for 2025, our first full year in our current form, and will publish an updated plan when it’s complete. The changes don’t affect our reporting boundary, so our 2021 baseline remains valid and directly comparable.

Planned initiatives

What we're doing next

The next steps in our Carbon Reduction Plan.

Gas-free premises by 2030

Working with our premises operator to remove the gas supply from the buildings we occupy.

A fully electric fleet by 2030

Completing the move to fully electric vehicles across our fleet.

Greener freight

More UK and local sourcing, and moving goods by more sustainable freight.

Net Zero couriers

Working with third-party couriers who have their own plans to reach Net Zero by 2045.

Less business travel

Travelling only when we need to, with video calls instead wherever we can.

Greener commuting

Flexible and hybrid working, promoting public transport, and a cycle to work scheme.

Why it matters

Supporting a greener NHS

The NHS aims to be the world’s first Net Zero national health service, through its Greener NHS programme. A large share of its carbon footprint comes from the goods and services it buys, so suppliers like us have a real part to play.

As a key supplier to the NHS, we publish our Carbon Reduction Plan in line with the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap, and we’re reducing the carbon footprint of our products and the way we deliver them.

Every day

Greener choices in everything we do

Alongside our Carbon Reduction Plan, we look for greener ways of working every day.

  • Reusable chair covers instead of plastic protection
  • Reusing packaging from deliveries we receive
  • Recycling wherever we can
  • Less paper, with digital paperwork and e-invoicing
  • Planning delivery and engineer routes to cut mileage
