Supplier name: SHI Corporation UK Limited

Publication date: 10/09/2025

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

SHI Corporation UK Limited 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.
Baseline Year: 2022
Additional details relating to the baseline emissions calculations.

As per the requirements of the PPN 06/21, SHI Corporation UK Ltd has developed the carbon reduction report using information from our annual Streamlined Energy Carbon Reporting (SECR). The emissions reporting includes:

  1. U.K. energy use: electricity, gas, and transport. Includes: cars, fleet, grey fleet, hire cars, onsite transport.
  2. Associated GHG emissions: Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions from the above sources.
  3. Emissions intensity metric tCO2e / £ turnover.
  4. Emissions over time.
  5. A narrative on energy efficiency actions undertaken.
Baseline year emissions: 2022
