Carbon reduction planning is a crucial aspect of achieving net zero emissions. It involves developing strategies and taking practical steps to reduce an organization’s carbon footprint. In this session we will explore some key points related to carbon reduction planning:

1. Understanding Net Zero:

• Achieving net zero means balancing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced with an equivalent amount removed from the atmosphere.
• Organizations play a vital role in this journey by implementing measures to reduce emissions.

2. Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP):

• A Carbon Reduction Plan outlines an organization’s commitment to reducing its carbon emissions.
• It sets clear targets for emission reduction over specific timeframes.
• The plan includes practical actions to achieve Carbon Net Zero by a certain date (e.g., 2050).

3. NHS – Public & Private sector CRP requirements:

• NHS Carbon reduction plan requirements April 2024
• Public Sector Frameworks PPN 06/21.
• Private sector supplier questionnaire
• Developing a credible CRP is essential for business growth

4. Reporting and Compliance:

• The CRP complies with government guidelines (PPN 06/21) and is reviewed annually.
• Reporting includes emissions associated with office spaces managed through third parties.

5. Sustainable Business Services

In summary, carbon reduction planning is essential for organizations to contribute to the global goal of achieving net zero emissions. James Staniforth from SBS will guide participants through practical steps during the Lunch and Learn session.
