This updated Carbon Reduction Plan reflects revised operational data: 4 supported living properties (~200 m² each), 1 company vehicle (~10,000 miles/year), and 50 employees with 20% using private cars for domiciliary visits (~5,000 miles/year each). The plan sets out a pathway towards reducing emissions and achieving Net Zero by 2040.

Baseline Emissions Breakdown
Roadmap of Measures
- Short Term (0–2 years): Renewable tariffs, LED lighting, travel optimisation, and waste reduction (~20% cut).
- Medium Term (3–5 years): Solar PV, heat pumps, EV transition, and sustainable procurement (~40% cut).
- Long Term (5–15 years): Full EV adoption, deep retrofits, zero-waste initiatives, and residual offsets to achieve Net Zero.
Reduction Pathway
Governance and Monitoring
- Establish a Sustainability Steering Group with a Carbon Lead.
- Conduct annual monitoring of energy, travel, and procurement emissions.
- Report progress to stakeholders and regulators.
- Allocate budgets for sustainability measures and apply for grants.
- Provide staff training and engagement on carbon reduction.
