Our baseline carbon footprint
Anchor has reported for the last two years under the Sustainable Reporting Standards for Social Housing on its environmental, social and governance and has also reported voluntarily under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting standard (SECR) on scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions. These provide us with baselines from which to measure our progress. In 2022, a much more detailed analysis of our carbon footprint was carried out with the support of environmental advisors Trident Utilities, in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol on measuring emissions and we will report this annually. Anchor’s total carbon footprint for FY2021-22 is calculated to be 207,235 tonnes CO2e. This equates to 22.1 tonnes per FTE employee, or 4.1 tonnes per home. Anchor’s carbon footprint
