I was thinking double negatives or redundancy but I'm not quite sure. Please help.

The other error is: ”English grammar”.
Haven’t we learned that English is always written with a capital E?
You are welcome

Double Negative

Double negative. A negative reduction would be a 63% increase.

double negative is true, what you're saying in that sentence is a 63% addition, a reduction of any percentage does not need the negative if it is stated as a reduction later.
Also you should add impersonal pronoun or indefinite article AKA: "a" as in "shows a 63% reduction"

I'd go for the double negative. -63% reduction is surely an increase.

double negative. It should be either 63% reduction, or -63% increase. ;)

it truly is the reason why Microsoft further Spelling and Grammar verify selection in the Microsoft workplace. Yahoo solutions did a similar as they understand no longer all can make sturdy spelling and grammar.

double negative (that doesn't have to be redundant, since an expression such as "this is not unusual" is not totally synonymous with "this is usual")

it's a double negative, and that ain't no joke
