Redbridge Council gets Gold Award for carbon savings

Thanks to our significant efforts in reducing our carbon emissions over the Carbon saving logo last three years, Redbridge Council has achieved the Carbon Saver Gold Award.

Redbridge Council was praised for its carbon management policies and its actual reduction of emissions. We have achieved a 5.1% reduction in our carbon footprint over the last 3 years and (even more significantly) we have achieved an average reduction of 9.2% per year.

Our carbon footprint

The emissions from our estate and operations can be found in the Carbon Saver Assessment Report (which can be downloaded below). This report covers part of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions under the guidance of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

The bigger picture

The UK Government requires local authorities to work out the amount of greenhouse gases they emit each year and make the information available to the public. This is to monitor progress towards the UK’s environmental targets, in particular the 'carbon budget', which is a cap on the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
Redbridge Council participates in the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, the UK's mandatory carbon trading scheme. The aim of the CRC is to reduce the carbon emissions produced by larger organisations by approximately 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2020.
