Carbon Management Programme

Idea: The Carbon Management Programme sets out how the Council can meet a proposed commitment to reduce carbon emissions from its operations by 20% by 2012.

Results: This is ongoing but savings will be realised within a year and further savings year on year.

Leadership: Report was made to Council Executive outlining proposals by Lead Officers and was welcomed by Council Executive as, along with securing significant emissions reductions, the plan also has clear medium term financial benefits.

Learning: A long term plan that can yield year or year savings can be more financially beneficial than a one off saving made from a quick fix solution.
