Anchor Environmental Sustainability & Net Zero Carbon Strategy 2023 – 2026
Running our business Anchor’s business operations extend throughout England and are made up of our people, their travel, our offices and the equipment we use to deliver services to our residents. We’re also made up of our culture, values and ways of working which will also play a critical part in enabling us to cut carbon. Our carbon footprint identifies a small percentage of our emissions stem from energy use in our offices and travel. The way we work will alter as we support the transition to a low-carbon economy; from choosing to use digital tools to reduce travel to improving recycling in our offices and reducing their energy use. Our colleagues are key to embracing this shift. With more than 9,000 of us throughout the country, the difference we can make is significant. Our cutting carbon objectives for our business operations over are to: Objective Net zero ready in terms of carbon emissions by 2030.
