We have reduced our carbon emissions from our activities and services by 28.7% since 2019, according to our latest appraisal, covering 2024–2025.

Since we began measuring our emissions, we have made a number of changes to reduce our impact on the environment. These include replacing the LPG heating at Stanley Park with a heat pump and solar panels, switching to renewable energy suppliers, installing more energy-efficient heating and lighting, improving insulation in our buildings, and beginning the transition to electric vehicles and HVO fuel.

These measures form part of our Climate Action Plan, which sets out how we will achieve our commitment to become a net carbon zero organisation by 2030.

There is more work to do. Our next assessment will include further reductions from replacing gas heating at the Town Hall and Neeld Community & Arts Centre with heat pumps, helping us to remove fossil fuel heating from our buildings.

We will continue to look for practical ways to reduce our carbon emissions and make our services and buildings more sustainable. ... See MoreSee Less
