Net Zero Route Map 2025 - 2030

To reach our ultimate goal of being ‘net zero’ as an organisation across all 3 Scopes, we ultimately need to do two things:

1. reduce operational emissions to the lowest practical point, whilst maintaining operational effectiveness
2. offset emissions that we cannot reduce

8.1 Key milestones and projects

Our key milestones and projects include:

• completion of the Canopy Project for reduced reliance on helicopter flights
• publication of the travel review document and initiation of its recommendations (e.g. starting an electric vehicle trial to initiate the strategic electrification of our fleet, introducing a salary sacrifice scheme for electric vehicles, analysis of high mileage drivers’ data, etc.)
• developing a sustainable procurement policy
• introducing a travel hierarchy to tackle non-essential travel
• continued pursuit of co-location opportunities to reduce estate related emissions
• continue to increase the quality and accuracy of our data by utilising our carbon accounting platform
• continued collaboration across the public sector to share best practices
• exploring digitisation options for our physical documents to reduce the need for physical storage
