1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero
Involvement Support is committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 31 December 2029. We recognise our responsibility to support the UK’s wider decarbonisation objectives and align our approach with North Northamptonshire Council’s Carbon Management Plan, where applicable. Environmental responsibility forms an integral part of our organisational values and operational planning.
2. Emissions Covered
This Carbon Reduction Plan covers the following emissions categories, in line with PPN 06/21 guidance:
Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, such as fuel use in company vehicles
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity
Scope 3: Other indirect emissions, including staff commuting and supplier-related emissions
3. Environmental Management Measures
To reduce our carbon footprint and support continuous improvement, Involvement Support will implement the following measures:
Encouraging the use of low-emission vehicles and public transport for staff travel where possible
Adopting a digital-first approach to minimise paper use
Using energy-efficient office equipment and lighting
Supporting remote and hybrid working practices to reduce travel-related emissions
Procuring goods and services from environmentally responsible suppliers where feasible
4. Monitoring and Review
This Carbon Reduction Plan will be reviewed annually to assess progress and ensure it remains effective and relevant. Updates will be made in line with operational changes, and we will work toward year-on-year improvements in carbon intensity, monitored through internal reporting mechanisms.
5. Availability
This Carbon Reduction Plan is available upon request and can be shared with commissioners, partners, or regulatory bodies as part of formal submissions, audits, or tender processes.
