North Somerset Council

North Somerset Council, based in GB and operating in Public administration and defence services, reported its most recent emissions in 2021. For that year, the council's Scope 1 emissions were 4,442,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were 2,287,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were 6,529,000 kg CO2e. These figures show a slight increase compared to 2020, where Scope 1 emissions were 3,904,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were 2,426,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were 5,892,000 kg CO2e.

North Somerset Council is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030, aiming for an annual reduction of at least 290 tonnes CO2e (or 290,000 kg CO2e) until the 2030/31 financial year. The council has also stated its ambition to reduce Scope 3 emissions as much as possible, applying ethical and sustainability standards throughout its supply chain. Previously, the council achieved a 38% reduction in overall emissions, or approximately 1,963 tonnes CO2e (1,963,000 kg CO2e), partly due to the purchase of green electricity. Looking solely at Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the reduction was 526 tonnes CO2e (526,000 kg CO2e), representing a 7% decrease, largely attributed to the national electricity grid becoming less reliant on fossil fuels.
