The Autism Service is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and supporting sustainability in line with Net Zero requirements.

Our current carbon footprint has been calculated at 22.91 metric tons of CO2e. We are actively developing a comprehensive Carbon Reduction Plan to set targets and implement reduction measures across all scopes.

Scope 1 – Direct Emissions (1.062 metric tons of CO2e)
We are conducting an audit of all equipment and operations. The findings will guide our efforts to improve energy efficiency, including updating processes, upgrading technology, and replacing inefficient lighting and heating systems.

Scope 2 – Indirect Emissions (3.956 metric tons of CO₂e)
We recognise the impact that energy providers have on global CO2 emissions. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are exploring renewable energy options and seeking to transition to green energy suppliers.

Scope 3 – Indirect Emissions (17.89 metric tons of CO₂e)
Scope 3 is often the largest contributor to an organisation’s carbon footprint, presenting significant opportunities for reduction. We are reviewing paper-based processes in favor of digital alternatives, identifying ways to improve efficiency in business travel and commuting, and fostering a carbon-conscious workplace culture through sustainable daily practices.

We are committed to transparent reporting and continuous improvement as we strive towards Net Zero and a sustainable future for all.
