With a target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 33 percent by 2012, the Environment Agency said it had taken a big step towards meeting its carbon reduction ambitions and placed itself at the forefront of the public sector’s sustainable operations programme.
Carolyn Thraves, Environmental Management Advisor at the Environment Agency said:
‘The Environment Agency wanted to be recognised for the great work we have done to reduce our emissions and gain a certification that qualifies as a CRC Early Action Metric. CEMARS will help us track progress against our plans in future years. We have had all our emissions data thoroughly audited and verified and received recommendations for methods to make reporting simpler.’
Since 2006/7, the Environment Agency has cut emissions by almost one fifth. The associated cost savings are more than £6 million a year. More recently, and within the last three years, the Environment Agency has achieved a reduction of over 13,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
The Agency said that membership of Achilles’ carbonReduction programme would enable it to discuss and contribute, along with other CEMARS certified organisations, to the dialogue (obstacles, best practice and success stories) on greenhouse gas measurement and reporting.
