Publish your first annual emissions report

Creating your setting's first emissions report is an important step in understanding and managing your carbon footprint. It involves creating a document that details the amount of carbon and greenhouse gas emissions your setting produces in a year, across Scope 1,2 and 3.

Creating this report provides a baseline for you to measure, share and celebrate progress, and acts as a useful tool to engage stakeholders and decision makers in ongoing sustainability efforts. This approach will also help to enhance your strategic planning by helping you to identify key areas for improvement, and areas that may need more support to achieve your goals.

It may help to share your emissions report internally first to communicate your progress, and use it to celebrate achievement, build confidence and gather feedback.

When you are confident, publish your report externally. This acts as a public commitment to managing your carbon footprint, creating transparency that will help to build trust with your setting's community. It positions your school as a leader in environmental responsibility and sustainability, setting an example for others to follow.

In some instances, an annual emissions report will help you to access relevant grants and funding to further your decarbonisation progress.
