… neutrality. The key focal points for this period of reductions, based on our current carbon emission sources, are shown in this hierarchy. 14 Key areas of reductions This diagram shows key areas where we aim to reduce emissions over the coming period. It is likely that the emission reductions w ill not match this exactly as there w ill be variation and additional projects which may impact…

… http://www.ghgprotocol.org 8 Previously we have kept our organisational and operational carbon emission boundaries relatively similar in order to compare actual emission reductions over time. However through the development of this plan we took the opportunity to broaden this to include staff commuting as part of our Scope 3 emissions. Here we consider this an important part of our…

The 75% reduction on 2008/09 levels is the target for 2025/26…

… at ways to reduce its carbon footprint and also leading countywide carbon reduction. The Council has recently succeeded in achieving its ambitious emission reduction target two years early. The first carbon management plan, launched in 2011, formalised this commitment and brought with it an increased investment in environmental and low carbon projects. This continued with the development…

… of the second carbon management plan in 2017. By this time many of the projects were showing savings and emission reductions. These put us ahead of schedule and we exceeded our 40% emission reduction target two years early. Our third carbon management plan builds upon and takes forward the plans and work as described in the previous carbon management plan. This foundation now provides the launch pad…
