Net Zero Route Map 2025 - 2030

Scottish Forestry and its people aim to:

• be a role model for public sector low carbon operation
• remain informed about and engaged in Scotland's Net Zero mission
• continue to enable Scotland's forests to flourish and be sustainably managed to deliver more for people, the environment, and the economy

This Net Zero Route Map also relates to the following sections of our current Corporate Strategy and Plan:

• Strategic objective 4 work collaboratively and innovatively, supported by fit-for-purpose and effective business systems and organisational infrastructure
• the Corporate Strategy and Plan sets some targets which naturally align with, and are addressed by, this Route Map:
  • reduce emissions from helicopter use by 90%
  • replace 50% of petrol/diesel fleet miles with electric
  • replace 25% of grey fleet miles with sustainably travelled miles
  • reduce estate-related emissions by 30%

For more details on targets and objectives, please see 'Where we want to be'.

Lastly, Scottish Forestry contributes to the wider objectives of the Scottish Government. In relation to this Route Map, this includes supporting the:

• Climate Change Plan 2026–2040
• Programme for Government

Both of these prioritise tackling the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, and working towards a Net Zero Scotland.
