Why Groundwork?
Groundwork is the UK’s leading sustainability and community charity with a demonstrable track record providing expert environmental advice to local authorities, businesses and organisations of all sizes.
Following our declaration of a Climate Emergency we commissioned Groundwork to carry out an independent review of the Council’s current performance on carbon emissions, benchmark our performance and identify priorities for future action. The detailed report, with many references to best practice, has provided an excellent starting point and will help to inform the development of our Climate Emergency Action Plan. The findings from the review were presented by Groundwork to the members of our Environment Task Group at their first meeting.
