Fluvio are environmental consultants who specialise in the restoration of river and wetland habitats. The company was founded in April 2025. In order to calculate emissions for our baseline year, we used energy use data from the previous year (1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025), in which the two co-founders were both home working, but as employees for other companies. We estimated that 25% of each household\'s energy use was attributable to the homeworkers. We included the purchases of equipment and software needed to establish Fluvio. The revenue in the baseline year is an estimate of what Fluvio may generate in its first year of business. We expect the energy use and revenue for 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 to be similar to our baseline year.

Fluvio was founded in April 2025 and we started as we mean to go on - as a super efficient and sustainable company. We are a 100% remote working company and always will be. This is because homeworking typically has a carbon footprint that is about 50% lower than office working, partly due to the removal of the need for staff to commute to an office. Furthermore, our staff supply power to their homes using renewable energy suppliers. Some of us also generate our own onsite solar electricity. Within 5 years, our staff who currently heat their home office using gas-fired central heating, will switch to a renewable gas supplier, reducing the carbon footprint associated with heating their home office. Our staff do conduct site visits/surveys from time to time and for this they drive 100% electric. This has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to petrol or diesel vehicles. For longer distance journeys, we will seek to use public transport where feasible. We have a strict policy banning the use of flights for work purposes. Our emissions for home office energy and driving will fall over time as the UK National Grid becomes less carbon intensive, falling from 165 g/kWh in 2023 to below 100 g/kWh by 2030 (https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-electricity-from-fossil-fuels-drops-to-lowest-level-since-1957/). The largest part of Fluvio\'s carbon footprint is from the products and services that we purchase. We have established a supplier policy which will prioritise use of B Corp certified companies and by 2030 we will ensure that at least 90% of our suppliers use renewable energy and/or are carbon neutral.

Scope 3 emissions were automatically calculated using the SME Small Business Calculator and are based on value spent. The calculator does not allow for consideration of the real carbon footprint of each service. In the future, we will remove any spend with suppliers or products purchased that are certified carbon neutral.

This is Fluvio\'s baseline report. Our target is to reduce total emissions intensity (per FTE) by 50% by 2030. We will offset our carbon emissions each year from 1st April 2025.
