Climate emergency
We have declared a climate emergency, and will:
- ensure our own operations and activities are net zero by 2030
- do our part to achieve a net zero carbon district by 2030 and lead through example.
For more details on how we intend to achieve this, see our Climate Action Framework and our Carbon Management Plan.
Getting to net zero
Since 2008-2009, our carbon emissions have reduced just over 49 per cent.
In 2020/21 our annual emissions were down 22 per cent to 3220 tonnes of CO2e, with:
- 33 per cent from leisure centres’ electricity and heating
- 46 per cent from the waste fleet
- 15 per cent from corporate buildings electricity and heating
- 5 per cent from landscape maintenance
- 1 per cent from business mileage.
