We understand the responsibility we have to reduce the environmental impact of our organisation’s operations, and the need to be accountable and transparent about our Greenhouse Gas emissions.
This Carbon Reduction Plan identifies our verified carbon footprint. It sets out science-based targets and an investable action plan that seeks to deliver emission reductions of 63% at source by 2030. It also underlines our commitment to being accountable for this work, both to our local government owners through our Board of Directors, and to the people and businesses in the communities that we serve.
We commit to taking immediate responsibility for the emissions we cannot reduce straight away. Annually, we will invest in carbon insetting projects; making responsible contributions to equivalent decarbonisation efforts within local communities.
No later than 2028, we will review the costs and benefits of purchasing certified carbon offsetting credits and complete Carbon Literacy Training via the The Carbon Literacy Trust, to support our progression towards becoming a net zero organisation.
Key targets:
By 2024:
- reduce emissions by 36 tCO2e
- reduce emissions by 10%
By 2028:
- halve our emissions and secure net zero status
- review and resolve our policy on offsetting and publish any investment made
By 2030:
- reduce emissions by 63%
