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 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. 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.

  • WORKFORCE REDUCTION SECTION 1 Layoffs (A) When employees are to be laid off, the state shall implement such layoff in the following manner: (1) The competitive area within which layoffs will be affected shall be defined as statewide within the DHSMV. (2) Layoff shall be by occupational level within the Florida Highway Patrol bargaining unit. (3) An employee who has not attained permanent status in his current position may be laid off without applying the provision for retention rights. (4) No employee with permanent status in his current position shall be laid off while an employee who does not hold permanent status in his current position is serving in that broadband level unless the permanent employee does not elect to exercise his retention rights or does not meet the selective competition criteria. (5) All employees who have permanent status in their current position shall be ranked on a layoff list based on the total retention points derived as follows: (a) Length of service retention points shall be based on one point for each month of continuous service in a Career Service position. 1. An employee who resigns from one Career Service position to accept employment in another Career Service position is not considered to have a break in service. 2. An employee who has been laid off and is reemployed within one year from the date of the layoff, shall not be considered to have a break in service. 3. Moving from Career Service to Selected Exempt Service or Senior Management Service and back to Career Service does not constitute a break in service unless the employee’s break in service is more than 31 calendar days. Only time spent in the Career Service can be counted in calculating retention points. (b) Retention points deducted for performance not meeting performance standards or work expectations defined for the position shall be based on the five years immediately prior to the DHSMV’s established cutoff date. Five points shall be deducted for each month an employee has a rating below performance expectations. (6) The layoff list shall be prepared by totaling retention points. Employees eligible for veterans’ preference pursuant to section 295.07(1)(a) or (b), F.S., shall have fifteen percent added to their total retention points, those eligible pursuant to section 295.07(1)(c), (d), or (e), F.S., shall have ten percent added to their total retention points, and those eligible pursuant to section 295.071(1)(f), or (g), F.S., shall have five percent added to their total retention points. (7) The employee with the highest total retention points is placed at the top of the list, and the employee with the lowest retention points is placed at the bottom of the list. (8) The employee at the top of the list shall bump the employee at the bottom of the list. The next highest employee on the list and the remaining employees shall be handled in the same manner until the total number of filled positions in the broadband level to be abolished is complete. (9) Should two or more employees have the same combined total of retention points, the order of layoff shall be determined by giving preference for retention in the following sequence: (a) The employee with the longest service in the affected broadband level. (b) The employee with the longest continuous service in the Career Service. (c) The employee who is entitled to veterans’ preference pursuant to section 295.07(1), F.S. (10) An employee who has permanent status in his current position and is to be laid off shall be given at least 14 calendar days’ notice of such layoff or two weeks’ pay or a combination of days of notice and pay. Any payment will be made at the employee’s current hourly base rate of pay. The notice of layoff shall be in writing and sent to the employee by certified mail, return receipt requested. Within seven calendar days after receiving the notice of layoff, the employee shall have the right to request, in writing, a reassignment, lateral action, or demotion within the competitive area in lieu of layoff to a position in a broadband level within the bargaining unit in which the employee held permanent status, or to a position at the level of or below the current level in the bargaining unit, in which the employee held permanent status. Such request must be in writing and reassignment or demotion cannot be effected to a higher broadband level. (11) An employee’s request for reassignment, lateral action, or demotion shall be granted unless it would cause the layoff of another employee who possesses a greater total of retention points. (12) An employee adversely affected as a result of another employee having a greater number of retention points shall have the same right of reassignment, lateral action, or demotion under the procedure as provided in this section. (13) If an employee requests a reassignment, lateral action, or demotion in lieu of layoff, the same formula and criteria for establishing retention points shall be used as prescribed in this section. (B) If there is to be a layoff of employees the state shall take all reasonable steps to place any adversely affected employees in existing vacancies for which they are qualified. (C) If work performed by employees in this unit is to be performed by non-state employees, the state agrees to encourage the employing entity to consider any adversely affected unit employees for employment in its organization if the state has been unable to place the employees in other positions within the Career Service System.
