About our Zero Carbon Work

The partnership has signed up to a collective Zero Carbon Pledge.

It has agreed to the following Priorities to reduce their C02 emissions between April 2019 and March 2020 and to influence or support its stakeholders to reduce their CO2 emissions

Priorities

Implement better governance mechanisms e.g. Internal policy setting, review existing policy, develop new build standard, establish working group/team/ambassador, better utilise IT systems, develop clear or specific approaches/plans for asset groups/estates

Engage/Educate e.g. Carbon literacy delivery, awareness raising communication, join external carbon groups, review prior projects success/challenges, hold staff events

Improve & establish investment plans – Get sign off on existing plans, review funds, perform capital spend review, understand funding for high rise flats, fund efficiency projects
