CARBON REDUCTION PLAN

At Baily Garner we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment as part of our purpose to positively impact people’s lives. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we want to achieve Net Zero by 2030 and have voluntarily begun assessing our CO2 emissions, despite not being legally required to do so. Our plan to reach this ambitious goal is outlined in a series of three reports which you can download below.

Our goals are:

• To reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2023.
• To reduce our Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030.

OUR COMMITMENT TOWARDS NET ZERO

We recognise the threat climate change poses and how the construction industry contributes notably to the UK’s CO2 emissions, accounting for about 10% of the nation’s total emissions. In 2019 alone, construction-related emissions reached 47 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. However, by 2020, emissions decreased to 11.4 million metric tons, marking a significant 11% reduction. This reduction is largely attributed to advancements in sustainable building practices as the industry shifts towards a greener future.

If we are to contribute to the government’s commitment to ensure the UK reduces its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 100% from 1990 levels by 2050, we need to be doing a lot more. That’s why we have a fully developed Carbon Reduction Plan to reduce our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as we understand the responsibility we have as a business to do our part in reducing our impact.
