… decarbonisation plans. The carbon savings achieved from corporate property during 2023-24 are as a result of a continued focus on property rationalisation and improved monitoring and control of energy use. Further steady emission reductions in future years are expected from ongoing property rationalisation and improved energy management. However, achieving savings at the magnitude needed to achieve…

… for business mileage – both core fleet and promoting EVs as personal vehicles. 2.7 To quantify the gap between the Council’s net zero target and current and planned activities, annual emissions projections to 2031-32 have been modelled, based on: • modest ongoing and planned initiatives (as detailed in Table 2). • anticipated changes in carbon conversion factors, which are influenced…

…: • Scope 3 emissions continue to account for approximately 95% of the Council’s total emissions, most of which is from the goods and services that the Council buys. • Scope 3 emissions reduced by 29% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (from 340,000 tonnes to 240,000 tonnes).
