Carbon Reduction Plan
AHR is committed to the continual improvement of how we manage and reduce our carbon emissions. In 2020 we calculated our organisations baseline emissions for the previous year. We then embarked on a journey to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions to Net Zero by 2030. In addition, we identified and calculated Scope 3 emissions over which we have some control. That led to initiatives to drive down those emissions without relying on external intervention, which we sustain and report on, today.
Our Carbon Reduction Plan is the catalyst to making these improvements. Since 2021 it has become an integral part of our ISO 14001-accredited Environmental Management System and we have team of people in place to uphold its intent.
In order to achieve our carbon reduction goals we will:
- Maintain a Green House Gas inventory (Scope 1 and 2) (Scope 3) that is appropriate to our Operational Boundaries
- Openly quantify and report on the GHG emissions produced by AHR using verified GHG calculation tools and dedicated resources
- Reduce the carbon burden of our (Scope 1 and 2) (Scope 3) emissions in line with the requirements of our Carbon Reduction Plan and the GHG Protocol
- Maintain awareness, across our workforce, of AHR's commitment to Net Zero and how our staff can help us achieve it
- Regularly monitor and review progress against our reduction targets and put in place corrective action, where required
- Ensure the availability of information and necessary resources to achieve these goals, cost-effectively
- Communicate progress to internal and external interested parties.
Our Plan and our EMS will be reviewed annually or when material changes occur, to ensure that they continue to be relevant and fit for purpose.
