Carbon Reduction Sample Clauses
The Carbon Reduction clause establishes requirements for parties to actively reduce their carbon emissions as part of their contractual obligations. Typically, this clause may require the implementation of specific measures such as using renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, or reporting on carbon footprint reductions throughout the duration of the agreement. Its core function is to ensure that environmental sustainability is integrated into business operations, helping to address climate change and meet regulatory or corporate social responsibility goals.
Carbon Reduction. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees to support the Council’s commitment to reduce CO2 emissions, which shall include: Compliance with the Council’s environmental policy and Sustainable Community Strategy; Monitoring and gathering information in order to demonstrate the Contractor’s compliance with the requirements of the environmental policy and Sustainable Community Strategy.
Carbon Reduction. The College has submitted its 2016/17 Mandatory Climate Change Reporting documentation and it is pleasing to report the carbon footprint associated with the College’s operations has fallen for the 8th consecutive year. Since signing up to the Universities and Colleges Climate Commitment for Scotland, the College has reduced its carbon footprint by an impressive 45%. Student and staff engagement and awareness raising continues to be a priority as we strive to promote sustainability and social responsibility into all curriculum areas. To assist in achieving this, the College has recently signed up to the Sustainable Development Goals Accord in partnership with the EAUC and the College will use this as a vehicle to embed the Sustainable Development Goals into our education, research, leadership, operations, administration and engagement activities. The College Environment team continue to be very successful in obtaining grant funding for a range sustainable initiatives. Over the last year they have secured £30k funding to invest in the lease of 4 electric vehicles, as well as £30k to install additional charging points at all 3 campuses. The team have also recently secured £20k to install an additional rocket composter at our Arbroath Campus for our food waste and a further £20k from Cycling Scotland to further enhance the facilities for staff and students who cycle to work and College. This money will be invested in shower facilities, bike shelters, bike lockers and a bike repair centre at each campus.
Carbon Reduction. The College has submitted its 2017-18 Mandatory Climate Change Reporting documentation and can report that its carbon footprint has fallen for the 9th consecutive year. The College is signed up to the Universities and Colleges Climate Commitment for Scotland and has reduced its carbon footprint by an outstanding 53% since 2009. Student and staff engagement in sustainability continues to be a priority and we promote sustainability and social responsibility in all curriculum areas. The College is committed to Scottish Funding Council targets for all universities and colleges to develop individual ‘creative and innovative’ approaches to demonstrate leadership in embedding environmental and social responsibility across the whole institution. The College will continue to work very closely with the EAUC to meet this demand. Our Environment team continue to be very successful in obtaining grant funding for the lease of electric vehicles with total funding of £45k secured. The College has successfully introduced a range of initiatives designed to significantly reduce the amount of single use plastic normally generated by our daily operations. The College no longer sells plastic bottles of water and has instead installed water stations across all of our campuses, providing free water to all of our staff and students, who in return to provide or purchase their own reusable bottles. We no longer provide disposable cups for hot drinks and students and staff use reusable or crockery mugs. This alone has removed 150,000 disposable cups per annum from our waste stream. As a part of our Capital Backlog Maintenance programme, we have installed a plastic road at our Gardyne Campus and a plastic car park at our Kingsway Campus. When installing a plastic surface, a plastic aggregate supports recycling and reduces the amount of bitumen required.
Carbon Reduction. As no detail design has been completed for the scheme the Contractor is currently in a position to confirm that the Authority’s carbon reduction targets and fuel poverty constraints for the Project will be considered and wherever possible matched or improved.
Carbon Reduction. Dundee and Angus College continue to make very good progress in meeting the carbon reduction targets set in the Carbon Management Plan for the 5 year period 2013-2018. A 15% reduction was the target by the end of 2018, and by 31st July 2016 had already achieved 14% of that target. This brings the college’s total carbon emissions reduction since 2010 to 45% The College continues to invest in a range of sustainable technologies as we develop our estate, and this has included the installation of an 800kw biomass system at our Arbroath campus, in addition to the 1mw system that is already in place. This means that all of the Arbroath campus heating and hot water is now provided via biomass. The additional 800kw biomass is expected to generate a further reduction in carbon emissions of 300 tonnes CO² / year due to the reduction in the use of natural gas. It will also generate Renewable Heat Incentive income of approximately £60k/year for the next 20 years. The College has also secured grant funding of £20k from Transport Scotland via the Angus and Dundee council’s CPP for a 3 year lease for 3 electric vehicles. Student and staff engagement and awareness raising continues to be a priority and the College has signed up to the Responsible Futures agenda in partnership with the NUS as we strive to embed sustainability and social responsibility into all curriculum areas. The College is also promoting the United Nation’s Global Goals within the curriculum areas encouraging students to develop their knowledge of and contribution to the sustainability agenda. The College has submitted its Mandatory Climate Change Reporting documentation for 2016 and a key priority for the next year is to ensure that adaptation forms part of our estates development planning process. Over the next year we intend to carry out a full assessment of what the current and future climate-related risks are for each of our campuses.
